Low FPS - on MSI Stealth G75

I see a lot of stuttering FPS posts but not a lot of just straight low FPS posts. I can post the specs of the laptop, but they are good enough to get the FPS up over what the game is giving. I can run some tests to see what the exact FPS is but it looks lower than 30.

1920x1080 144hz display and I've made sure the refresh rate is set correctly. I'm going to try rolling the refresh rate lower and playing with Nvidia control panel and will see what it does.

I have nearly the same laptop. Use windowed mode and optionally some sort of program to make it borderless windowed. Also make sure in NVidia control panel to force the good graphics card to be used and disable any power saving features.

WORKED FOR ME! Thank you very much, Zeddy!

I created a custom power plan based on High-Performance and then went into the Nvidia Control Panel>Manage 3D settings>Preferred graphics processor - changed this to High-performance NVIDIA processor.

After that I can play the game at top graphical settings (albeit there aren't many!) in full screen mode as well. Low frames are gone!

Specs of mine just as an FYI to any others that may be having similar issues;

MSI Stealth GS75
i7-8750U @ 2.20 GHz
16GB RAM
RTX 2080
Samsung SSD 970 EVO 2 TB
Samsung SSD 970 EVO 2 TB
(replaced the factory SSD)

Laptops tend to try using the integrated gpu to save battery life by default, even gaming laptops. No clue why manufacturers of gaming laptops do not configure them to default to the gpu for actual gaming but... I guess they are the professionals in the field and would know more than me haha.
