Question Better fps when connected to TV

[razviegras]

Hello!
I recently got a new laptop, an HP Pavilion 15-bc414nq. I normally get around 130-150 FPS in Minecraft Java Edition with my specific settings. However, when I connect my laptop to my TV via HDMI 2.0 my FPS boosts to around 350-400 FPS.

Both displays have the same resolution (1920x1080) and the same refresh rate (60Hz).

What could I do to get the same FPS on my laptop as well?

I believe this has to do with Nvidia Optimus which is a power saving thing that switches back and forth between your iGPU and GPU. The reason you get higher frames on teh external monitor is because that is being driven solely on by the GPU and no performance loss. Im not entireley sure how to disable the Nvidia Optimus, but check in the Nvidia Control panel and put the settings (either game specific or globally) to performance.
