Your profile gives the rest of your system specs, but you didn't say which game you are trying to play!

Sorry! I did both threads because I didn't know which category this fell under! It's smash melee but the problem has been resolved as it turned out Nvidia was limiting my FPS to 30 to preserve power so I simply changed that and now it's perfect. Thanks though Smile

I'm getting really sick of all NVidia/Intel/AMD bullshit to preserve battery. It causes heavy performance loss and the settings to turn on and off in order to enable the full potential of a good laptop are not user friendly at all.

It's good for those who don't play, but gamers usually play with AC cable plugged and want all the power of their laptop unleashed.

Yeah, I know... ><
It would be nice if there was some kind of simple and easy way to switch between preserve battery/full performance, without the need to deal and play with settings in GPU's Panel.
It's supposed to be automatic, but it's not very suitable.
