Stuttering issues Nvdia graphic card on dual gpu notebook

[Ku17]

I have notebook with i5 processor, dual gpu intel hd 4000 and nvidia 710m with 8 gb of RAM, and Windows 8 Operating System.

I have encountered some problem with all of steam games being stuttering for some reason (altough I only have ff XIII and Dota 2), I've tried some solution such as:

Reinstall my driver, updating my graphic driver, reinstall my OS, etc.
all of things I realized game work smoothly if I delete my nvidia driver, but it won't solve the problem because intel hd 4000 isn't enough to run FF XIII at better graphics

tl;dr: Because I have dual GPU and NVidia Driver makes stuttering ( fps drop every ** seconds) on all of steam games, please give me some help

I apologize for my bad english (I'm not native speaker) and thanks for the support.

Did you try updating to the latest Nvidia driver version, and are you sure the games are not using your integrated graphics processor instead of your dedicated video card? Also, FF XIII may be too demanding for a Geforce 710M to run properly.

yeah I already tried all things you mentioned above, and I already set my dedicated video card (nvdia control panel, etc) and it's 2gb 710M Ram, so it did run smoothly but after a minute ingame stutters occurs, same thing happened on Dota 2, so any solution?

I already tried resetting too and stil not working

[Ku17]

yeah I've done like things like above, and set my power management to maximize the performance, and set power management on control panel, and fps still dropping every few seconds, it's still unplayable.

[Ku17]

it start at normal fps (80-120) after a minute it drops into 11-25 fps at 3-5 interval, but it's not lagging because I already tried it at offline mode, and my ping is normal.

[Ku17]

sorry I didn't get this under load terms, but my gpu temperature when it's not running game about 60 degree celcius, and 70's when playing games (at constant rate)

[Ku17]

game starts stuttering at 70's, but temperature being constant while fps still stuttering, weird thing is that only my steam games got this problem, I have no problem with other games outside steam, and yes it also drop in offline mode.

[Ku17]

my cpu idling at 50-60 degrees, and for correction my gpu idling at 50's too, I tested on HWinFo64, I'm sorry can't give you the screen capture. as for voltages of cpu avg 1 v per core ,same with gpu.

[Ku17]

i tested on cpu z it said that core VID averaging 0.8V (idle) mind tell me what kind of software to test +12,+5 and +3v voltages? thank you.

[Ku17]

I've tested on CPU-Z, did you mean about PSU voltage? since I'm using notebook there is only battery voltage I think, this is the hardware monitor test result :

Hardware monitor ACPI
Temperature 0 68°C (154°F) [0xD54] (TZS0)
Temperature 1 60°C (140°F) [0xD04] (TZS1)

Hardware monitor Battery

Woahh, sorry to bump a really old discussion, but i have the exact same issue, i wonder if OP has fixed it yet

[Ku17]

it's heat issue on gpu card, so it's automatically lower the performance and makes fps throttle on my case, I think tweaking BIOS might solve the issue, but I can't tweak my BIOS because some password from the laptop company. It's unplayable for me on laptop and no solution

[Detri]

What do you mean by tweaking bios, i'm in bios and i have no idea what i'm doing lol

[Ku17]

You can set like at what temperature gpu would drop performance, in short words you can remove 'limiter' of your gpu, sorry for my bad english

[Detri]

I don't see any of that option in my bios

Make your own thread if u want help.

As to the OP, NVIDIA GT 710M is much too low-end for most games to be smooth and stable/playable FPS anyways, get a better laptop. Such as one with 860M or 965M for example.
