    Hey guys,
    I just got this beautiful laptop. However, in CSGO, I'm only getting around 140-160 fps on ALL LOW settings, playing on windowed mode with resolution 1680x1050.
    I'm sure I have updated all my drivers and made sure that I was running on high performance mode with Sports mode on. I checked nvidia control center to make sure that my gpu was running when the game was on. But I still can't seem to get above 200 fps with everything on low even though the videos I've seen on youtube, people have been getting 150-170fps on high settings with almost the same specs as me.
    Any suggestions or information would be great.
    Thanks!

    Specs: gtx 970m, 8gb ram, i7-6700hq,

    What is the benefit of >200fps? :eek:

    Why dont you try fullscreen mode and plug in the adapter to see if your fps going up

    nothing really. I just wanted to see how much fps this laptop can get. But seeing the results, I expected 200+fps on low settings considering other people with similar specs have above 200fps :/ Doesn't seem right with this laptop :/

    My charger is always in. And tried with fullscreen but still same results. I prefer to play in window anyway.

    If you're using NVidia GeForce Experience, disable it or remove it.

    And how does the game fare in high settings?

    I've just removed Nvidia geforce. I got around 150-180 in high. Unlike this guy with similar specs, has frequent 200fps+ on high

    Are you actually concerned about getting 150 - 180 FPS?

    That player has a different CPU, a different chipset, possibly different drivers, etc. You can play around with drivers to an extent. Some have reported seeing slightly better frame rates in games with Haswell or Broadwell CPUs than with Skylake; it could be an optimization issue with the game. Lots of variables, but I really don't think there's anything truly wrong with your system.

    Well, not that concerned,I just thought the laptop was supposed to perform similar to the video, I guess I just had high expectations... Not that I need that many fps anyway, just feels good looking at a higher fps haha

    Bragging rights. I get it. :vbwink: (It's a nice system, in any case.)

    You can try different NVidia drivers. Take a look at your utilization, too; if you're peaking, then there's not much you can do. If not, then alternate drivers are worth looking into.

    Hey man, can you help me out? I've tried this game called Alliance of valiant arms and on low settings I get around 40-80 fps which gives me a lot of lag and stuttering. Obviously vsync was off, was playing in windowed, ac adapter plugged, temps were around 50+, dGPU was activated etc. So I tried to benchmark my laptop, using valley and I got these results on low settings with x2 aa.

    And you were seeing lag/stuttering with those frame rates? You really shouldn't see a lot of that until you dip into lower frame rates.

    Have you tried different drivers? Made sure your NVidia Control Panel 3D settings are set for "Performance" rather than "auto-select"? And if you have NVidia GeForce Experience turned on, you might want to disable that or remove it and try again.
