Really low fps on laptop that shouldnt be under performing

[Henndro Joshua]

So i have a Dell Inspiron 14 7447, which has a Geforce GTX 850M and on board intel graphics. When I play league of legends im getting around 14-23 fps. Im 100% sure im not supposed to be getting this low of fps. I have already tried to set to use NVIDIA graphics card and my power options are all set for performances. What is gives?

Sounds like you are using the intel graphics on the CPU, not the gtx850.

How would i go about to make it use the gtx850? I have already set it to use the high performance nvidia processor. Does this have anything to do with Nvidia's optimus thing?

This will help you do assign the GPU to certain games. Try this.

I have already done this but it still does not work.

Nvidia's Optimus can cause problems with certain games. In a laptop using Optimus, the Intel integrated graphics always drives the screen. The nvidia GPU is used as a coprocessor, which sends the completed screen image to the Intel graphics for display.

If the game is not coded to properly recognize the presence of a GPU "coprocessor", it may end up only detecting and using the Intel integrated graphics. I've seen this happen with a lot of older games - they were coded in an age when there was only ever one GPU in the computer. So after they detect one GPU (the Intel), they stop looking for any more GPUs.

League of Legends is a pretty major title though, and I have to think they've updated the game to work on Optimus laptops. Make sure your nvidia drivers are updated, and that you're running the latest LoL version.

If you can't get it to work, look in your BIOS settings. Some laptops allow you to disable the Intel integrated graphics, leaving the laptop to run on the nvidia card only (at a cost to battery life). Another non-optimal solution is to use an external monitor. The HDMI port on most dual-GPU laptops is connected directly to the nvidia card. If you connect an external monitor and display only to it, the game will detect the nvidia GPU as the "main" graphics card.

When i run the game, Nvidia GPU activity says it is running it with the League client, however i am still getting my 15-23 fps

Reinstall (or update) your NVidia driver. It might be best that you perform a Custom/Advanced installation and uncheck the NVidia GeForce Experience option (be sure to check "Clean Installation" as well).

Are you running the game on max/ultra graphics settings?

It literally does not matter what settings im running it on , and i still will get 13-23fps. I changed it from low to high and no difference. WIll try to reinstall the driver

I think your hardware is fine. It sounds like a utilization problem, which is often software related.
