I recently purchased the Square Enix Humble Bundle, which came with Hitman Absolution. When I began the game, I noticed that the game was running at about 27 fps at max settings, even though my computer could run beefier games at a smooth 60 fps. Can someone help me fix this problem?

My specs:
Nvidia GTX 870M
Intel i7-4700HQ (8 cores)
60 hz monitor
16 GB of RAM

Thank you!

It's a 1920x1080 monitor. I doubt the issue would be related to that, though. And I've tried reducing the settings to the absolute minimum; I got a marginally better 29 fps.

Strangely, nothing in that article worked either. It's such a weird problem.

I don't have a laptop to compare, but I have a low end system with a Celeron G1620 and HD 7750 and ran the benchmark at MED settings @ 1080p. I got 22.6 / 29.6 / 54 FPS (min/avg/max) for comparison. You should be getting much better I would think. I imagine that laptop has dual graphics; both integrated and discrete. Do you have the system set to switch to discrete when it sees a 3D gfx app? It sounds like you are running off the integrated video.

Most of my games run off of my discrete Nvidia card, but some games seem to override that and go for my integrated Intel card. However, I've fixed games doing that in the past, so thanks for the new idea.
