GTX 1050ti laptop running League horribly

[Cuppycake12]

So I recently just upgraded to a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming laptop, because the old laptop I was using for school was starting to run poorly. I wanted something that looked nice and neutral, yet could still play 1080p games fairly well so, the Inspiron 15 7000 with the 1050Ti is what I ended up going with.

Now for reference, my old laptop had an 860m, an i7-4710HQ and 12GB of DDR3 ram. It was an MSI GE70 2PE.

The laptop I have now, is running with a GTX 1050ti, i5-7600HQ and 8GB of DDR4 ram.

Now for more reference, my old laptop ran League at about 140-150fps at max settings. The new one, is currently running the game at about 120fps when the game starts then slowly losing FPS until it drops down to about 50-60, and it drops massively into the 30's during team fighting. It doesn't matter what settings the game is running on either, highest or lowest, it gets the same FPS that slowly drops to around 50-60.

for even MORE reference, the old Laptop ran Nier:Automata at 19-22fps, and the new one runs it as 60fps with no dips.

So I've ran through a few things with no luck, I've tried checking to see if League is using the integrated graphics and not the 1050Ti and I've had no luck in confirming or denying that so far, but I did set the global settings in the Nvidia control panel to use the 1050ti. No change in FPS.

I've set the power settings to performance, and no change.

I've made sure battery saver is turned off in Geforce, and no change.

So I started to monitor the CPU and RAM use while in a game, and both usually drop off after 70% and never go higher than maybe 75%, so there's no bottleneck there.

The only thing I can think of is that League is launching with the integrated graphics, and not the GPU, but I'm not sure how to check that 100%

Any ideas?

Are you sure there is an IGP? many of the laptops running the new nVidia cards don't run an IGP. My laptop has a 1060 3gb and no IGP, at least not one that is enabled.

I'd start by making sure the computer is fully up to date, especially the GPU driver. Lately nVidia's drivers have been buggy about updating so i recommend removing it manually, run DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller) and then download and install the latest. Also, check your network and chipset drivers from Dell to be sure those are up to date.

What anti-virus are you running?

Yes, I am sure there's an IGP as I've checked. I've checked the drivers and they all seem up to date, I just finished playing Arma 3 at ultra settings at getting 40fps, so I'd imagine if I can pull that in A3 I should be getting good fps in League. I'll try manually unsintalling the Nvidia drivers and reinstalling the new one though. Is there anyway I could check for sure to make sure LoL isn't launching with the IGP?

*edit* I'm running Bit Defender

Hi I was looking at buying this laptop as well. What are your frames exactly in Arma 3? During heavy multiplayer fire fights? Thanks
