Hello! I use a acer predator helios 300! I have the game, Minecraft. Using the NVidia control panel, I got Minecraft to use my graphics card now I get 15-30 FPS. But when it's on integrated graphics it's up to 140.

I don't know if you can turn the GPU on by your self.
I used '' on the turn on and turn off because the GPU isn't actually off, the system reduces its performance to use less energy, it's kind of a low consumption mode. If there's a way to tweak that manually, I don't know how to do it, I just knew that this was the way that dedicated GPUs behave on a notebook. Although this a config related to MoBo or the BIOS, so it doesn't means that all notebooks with dedicated GPU work that way. I have a friend that can play unplugged normally, and sometimes his Fps drops when playing plugged, it all depends on the system. After you try it out tell me the results please

When you play with the graphics card,do you play it with the charge on or off?
Some notebooks by default config 'turn off' the dedicated GPU because of it's high battery consumption and only 'turn it on' by inserting the charger.

Thanks for helping me! Yes, I play with it unplugged! Can I turn on the dedicated GPU while it's not plugged in?
