i successfully got games running on my nvidia graphics card the other day, but performance was much worse than expected. i booted into windows (from BIOS) and tried the same games, but again performance was much worse than expected (even after driver update). Is the dual boot somehow affecting performance?
might be issue with running both OSs on one drive
I have Intel running with nvidia optimus (1050Ti). Laptop is 5 years old but I played games on it last month with double the fps im getting today
