SOLVED 30 fps dips when using hdmi out

[Memekayam]

hey all, I have a Lenovo Yoga 730-15IKB with a GTX 1050 (4gb) non TI variant,

I'm not sure if any of you have experienced this but whenever using HDMI out instead of a solid 60 FPS It keeps dipping to 30 and gradually back upto 60, not sure why lenovo did this, but I figured this would be the place to ask, I love this tablet, but this is killing it for me,

I've noticed FB usage dips and rises in slight increments while this is going on via MSI afterburner, this is what may be causing the issue.

is there anything I can do like use NV Inspector to tweak some values for this not to happen, perhaps edit my vbios and edit it somehow?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated,

Cause it's a cheap media PC, not a Gaming PC.
It most likely can't use the NVIDIA GPU via HDMI Out.
Also it could be your Display, as many HDMI on 4K TV are 30Hz only.
Could be your HDMI cable spec as well.

the gtx is an entry level gpu, not capable of 1080p at higher settings
4k takes about 4x the gpu load vs 1080

the cable may also be limiting to 4k30hz

It could be this because the cable is rated for 4k 60 fps, also it is capable of achieving 60 fps on the games im running on the laptop itself, just not while its plugged into a source , whether it be micro usb or hdmi, but I was wondering if there were any work arounds for this happening,. Id hate to buy a real "gaming laptop" when there is a solution. Thanks for the reply guys,

Problem solved, Its not because its a crappy low end gaming PC, as you've stated above, its because I just needed to make my monitor 2 as a primary monitor, mind you I cant control resolution, but its 1080p so its fine with me, the projector supports 1080p, the laptop is 4k,

as Ive said, make your monitor primary the screen will turn off on your laptop, which is fine with me, as long as I can get that silky smooth 60 fps projectors provide, thanks for all the suggestions.

All you ever had to do was to press the Fn+F# hotkey on your Laptop that pertains to Display switching; and simply switch between the Laptop Internal Display to the External, when doing this it will make the External the only Display and turn off the Laptop screen.

But yes if you want to do Extended Desktop and run the Games properly on the External, then the External must be set as the Primary.

Again this is due to the limits of your laptop and/or gpu. As it's much too weak to drive multiple displays @ 60+ Hz all at the same time, especially when one or more screens has 4K res; as 1x 4K Display is equivalent to 4x 1080p screens.

The only good Lenovo laptops are IdeaPad Y Series and the LEGION series.
