So I just got a new laptop, here it is:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F5M7P47/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Anyways, it's running on:
Windows 10
i7-8550U
Geforce 940MX
256 GB SSD
8GB RAM
It may not be the greatest thing ever, but it shouldn't be having the issues I'm having. In Rocket League, I can barely squeeze out 40 FPS on the lowest possible settings. It looks like pixel vomit. I even tried to play older games like Half-Life 2 and L4D2 and they struggle to maintain steady FPS in mid-high settings. My old craptop could run those just fine! The card should be good enough, as evidenced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKMm8T5-GPQ
Here's what I've done:
-Changed power settings to max performance.
-Turned off all Windows 10 gaming settings, like the DVR that made it run at 1 FPS.
-Set the Nvidia card to my default/preferred card.
-Turned off Vsync, threaded optimization, and power management mode in the Nvidia control panel.
One extra detail - if I don't run these programs in Compatibility mode AND they are fullscreen, the display turns black. I had to specify "-window" in launch options just to see the dang game.
Any help would be appreciated, so far fairly disappointed with the performance of this laptop.
My guess is there's some setting somewhere that's messing everything up.
Thank you!
