Hp Pavilion Gaming 17
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have bought this laptop less than a year ago. 

When I first started gaming, my FPS were around 140 to 200. However, they are now around 60 or lower. The image performance is horrible. Even when checking emails. 
My laptop is much slower but this is best seen when I’m attempting to game. 

last update was on 11th- a driver related one 

 

can someone help me?

Hi@IvosabatWelcome to the HP Support Community!

 

 

Here's what I recommend you do:

Refer to this link to troubleshoot slow performance/ low FPS issues: Click here

 

Alternatively, right-click your desktop background and select NVIDIA Control Panel. You can also find this tool by performing a Start menu (or Start screen) search for NVIDIA Control Panel or by right-clicking the NVIDIA icon in your system tray and selecting Open NVIDIA Control Panel.

 

To quickly set a system-wide preference, you could use the Adjust image settings with the preview option. For example, if you have old hardware that struggles to play the games you want to play, you may want to select “Use my preference emphasizing” and move the slider all the way to “Performance.” This trades graphics quality for an increased frame rate.

 

By default, the “Use the advanced 3D image settings” option is selected. You can select Manage 3D settings and change advanced settings for all programs on your computer or just for specific games. NVIDIA keeps a database of the optimal settings for various games, but you’re free to tweak individual settings here. Just mouse-over an option for an explanation of what it does.

 

If you have a laptop with NVIDIA Optimus technology — that is, both NVIDIA and Intel graphics — this is the same place you can choose which applications will use the NVIDIA hardware and which will use the Intel hardware.

 

If you've already done this and it isn't working, I recommend you update the BIOS, Chipset, and graphics card drivers using the HP website: Click here to find and install the same.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted. 

 

Please click “Accept as Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
