    Have you set up the Nvidia Control Center correctly? Please follow all my instructions below

    Please click YES if I answer your question, thankyou

    Make sure you do this below and always game on 100% battery BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged in while gaming, in your Windows Power plan select High Performance when on AC and in Nitrosense make sure High performance is selected under "AC" tab

    1. Download and install the latest Nvidia drivers from here 
    https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx.

    2. Go to the Nvidia control center and click Manage 3d settings tab, then click the Global Settings tab and change Preferred Graphics processor from Auto select to your Nvidia GPU, do this by clicking the downward arrow to the right of Auto Select and select the Nvidia GPU. Then under the Program Settings tab select the programs and games that you want to run on the Nvidia GPU. Do the same under the Set PhysX Configuration tab


    Please click YES if I answered your question

    Thank you and have a blessed day  B)

    @RTR_Grim_Reaper
    Firstly you did not indicate in your post that you had tried the above fix which for a lot of people with this problem is "Real" I suggest that you list the actions that you have already taken to try to solve the problem.
    Secondly I am quite aware that you don't have Nitrosesnse, this is a generic walkthrough that I have designed for the Nvidia Nitro series. That's why it says Windows power plan/Nitrosense, because either works

    If you haven't already, check your GPU power settings and make sure you have a High Performance Power Plan, the Screen below is for my AMD GPU but you should have similar or the same for the Nvidia GPU
    Go to Settings/System/Power and Sleep/Additional Power Settings under the High Performance Plan click Change Plan Settings then click Change Asvanced Power Setting


    Please click YES if I answered your question
