Lower FPS than expected on laptop

Super User Asked by BobLeeSwagger on December 16, 2021

Hope I am in the right place for this one.

I recently bought a new laptop. It is not a gaming laptop and I don’t intend to use it that way, but I expected more than what it seems to be capable of. This is the link from where I got it :

https://www.netonnet.se/art/dator-surfplatta/laptop/laptop-10-13-tum/asus-zenbook-ux331fn-em052t/1011339.8906/

It has :

  • i5-8265U processor
  • 8 GB of RAM
  • Nvidia GeForce MX150-2 graphics card.

Comparing it to my old laptop with :

  • i5-8250U processor
  • 8 GB of RAM
  • NVIDIA Quadro P600 Graphics card

When looking at benchmarks, my new laptop should be a bit better but for some reason it is not. I tested it on Heroes & Generals which produced around 30 fps compared to my old 60-70 fps. I tested it on lowest settings in Minecraft and could only get around 40 fps even though I recall my old one getting around 70-80 on highest settings.

I’ve gone through all settings and made sure everything is set to "High performance". I have checked that it is not my Integrated graphics that is being used but my MX150 as it should be, and even gone through the settings in NVIDIA control panel.

I can’t figure out what is going on. If anyone has an idea of something I could try I would be gratefull. Thanks in advance!

One Answer

One reason could be that the GeForce MX150-2 card is not used by the game, and instead the integrated graphics card is used - Intel UHD Graphics 620.

Make sure that the drivers are installed and the card is set as default.
