Lenovo Y410p Lag on all games!

[Alligator Dreams]

Hello I have terrible lag on almost all my games! Sometimes they randomly work but they lag more often then not. I've tried reinstalling them, verifying the game cache, resetting to factory defaults, made sure my drivers and games are up to date, set all game settings to low, and searched everywhere on the internet for a solution. NOTHING WORKS!! I read it could be an internet problem, but I have good internet and two of my lagging games, Skyrim and Goat Simulator, have no online connection at all! Any advice would be great. PLEASE HELP!!!

SPECS
Intel core I7 4700mq
Nvidia Geforce GT 755m
8gb Memory
Realtek HD audio

When u say "lagg" are u referring to poor game performance (as in FPS) or you just talking about when u are trying to play a game online/multiplayer and u get a high ping, resulting it you and/or others in the game session jumping around, out of sync.

People often confuse "Online Lagg -vs- Poor FPS"

It's called bad framerate.

Lag is usually blamed on your connection to server or player. Singleplayer games don't experience that kind of 'lag'

Try Fraps or simillair program to benchmark your framerate, then lower graphics settings / resolution until you meet your desired framerate. 60 fps, silky smooth cinematic 30 fps, whatever you desire.

Also, running games longer than X amount of time on laptop without decent cooling would generate alot of heat. Without proper cooling, you could experience bad framerate.

Most common issues with any laptop that has NVIDIA GPU in it is how the laptop in general is setup by default.

It helps to apply such settings for gaming on a laptop with NVIDIA GPU:

Go in Control Panel > Power Options > and select High Performance

Go in NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > select the NVIDIA GPU as the preferred default. Then press 'Apply' in the lower-right corner. Then on this same page, scroll down within the 3D settings on the Global tab and find Power Management; select the Prefer Max Performance option and Apply.

Make sure your games are running on the Nvidia GPU and not the Intel iGPU (via Nvidia Control Panel).
