Hi, I just recently got the 2019 Helios 300, and I am having trouble running overwatch. The reviews online all benchmark the game running medium at 150+fps, but I am running it at 90 FPS. I have redownloaded, updated drivers, reset the whole computer, yet nothing seems to be working. I have no idea what is causing this. Even if the game was running on high, I should still be getting over 100 FPS. Any help?

    Hi luca2fish,

    Was the laptop connected to AC supply when you were playing? Maybe try using turbo mode and decreasing the amount of background processes, hope it helps.

    Cheers!
    It was, and turbo mode was on. But I fixed it by going to Nvidia Control Center>3d Settings>power options>prefer max power. Thanks for your reply!

    Resolution scaling was at 100%. But I fixed it by going to the Nvidia Control Center>3D settings>prefer max power. Getting 200+ Fps now.

    Tips 1: For gaming laptop make sure before you shut down especially after a heavy gaming session to let it cool down for at least 10min before you switch it off!
