In-game performance problem

Hi Kamil,

There are various reasons why you are experiencing performance issues when playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Windows 10. It is possible that your graphics card is not updated or the Windows Update is not completely installed. Another possible reason
could be the apps running in the background while you are using your computer. To resolve your concern, turn off or disable the Game bar by following the steps below:

• Press the Windows key + I on your keyboard to go to the
  Settings menu.
• Click on Gaming and select Game bar.
• Toggle Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar.
• Uncheck Show game bar when I play full-screen games Microsoft has verified.

Make sure that your graphics card driver is updated by following the steps on this

link. If there are no available updates, you may visit the graphics card manufacturer's support page and download the most updated driver manually.

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reply to this post anytime.

 

Custom Driver : Intel HD Graphics & ATI Combo (Alpha) - by nIGHTmAYOR

according to laptop support page they do list an old downloadable driver for intel for windows 7 , weather this is related to there being several variants of that laptop or this laptop has switchable graphics i may just suggest you reset the bios and see if things change , if yes you may be able to apply step 2 , if not then apply step 4 and call it today , you are still better off being on the high performance gpu .

Out of curiosity can you take a snap shot from Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and click the “Graphics Settings” ?

 

should i set the game to high performance mode

i have an alienware 17 r5 laptop which has switchable graphics which are nvidia geforce gtx 1080 and intel card

when i play some games i will get the geforce overlay popup in the upper right telling me to press alt and z if i want to use geforce experience in game. the popup shows when i launch the game. if that popup shows then that should mean that the game is using the nvidia card

however in some games there is no overlay popup in the upper right. when that happens i am not sure which graphics card the game uses. some games are stupid and they try to use the intel card and the game will slow down and freeze. that has happened to me before with one game and there was no overlay popup for that game when i launched it. i had to force that game to use the nvidia card by setting the game to high performance mode in the graphics setting which is under display settings in windows and after that the game worked ok

should i always set the game to high performance mode when i dont get the overlay popup when i launch the game just in case the game is stupid and it tries to use my intel card?
