So... in the NVidia control panel, the framerate is set at 60.
Last night the framerate in play stayed under 60. Graphics were the typical slightly choppy Sims 3 look but the game ran without issue and no fans starting up like we’re about to launch into hyperdrive.
Restarted the computer this morning.
Went to play my game this morning and the fan started up immediately. Graphics looked too impressively smooth to be true. Did the fps-on and it was ticking along at 400ish. Closed the game, checked the NVidia settings and it’s still on 60.
Looked at the Intel Graphics Command Center too, also found it was set to 60.
Restarted the computer again.
I’m not enjoying myself because my husband is pushing me to decide if I want to return the laptop. He’s a programmer who doesn’t game online, so he cannot help me re the graphics card. At least I knew the graphics card was important before we bought a gaming laptop. I prefer to not have his help with my computers so that I can keep up with tech changes a bit.
This afternoon I shall look through all the advise here again and start again.
Thanks again for being so willing to help me out here.
