[SOLVED] GTX 1060, i7, 16gb can't run more than 40fps on minecraft

[jeeven18]

I've recently just received my MSI gaming laptop, the exact wording of the laptop from where I purchased it is -
MSI GF72 17.3" Intel Core i7 8750H Nvidia Geforce GTX 106 (6gb) Gaming Laptop . (It has GDDR5 16gb ram)

I bought this laptop from amazon, so I had to install the drivers when it got here.The laptop wont seem to budge over 40fps, (on minecraft) this is without any mods, and low settings (optifine didn't help).I've already used DDU to reinstall the drivers, and in the nvidia control panel I've already set the preferred graphics processor to "high performance nvidia processor".

I've ran another game such as fortnite, and was around 70fps mark(low settings).However, a friend of mine with a similar laptop, but with a 1050, was running over 200fps on moderate settings.

I've seen videos of people using similar spec laptops, and getting up to 500fps mark on vanilla minecraft.Why is fps count so low?

Is there anything I'd have to do? I willing to try anything if it means my laptop is up to its performance.

Regardless, I really do appreciate the help you guys have offered already!

Well you could try the latest drivers here:

Sort under Geforce 10 Series (Notebook)

@Ketchup79 Could I just install geforce experience and update my driver through there? Or should I go to the website you linked above.

I would assume Experience would do the same.

 

[jeeven18]

I installed Experience and it gave me an option to "update drivers" so I did, should I make another video on the same monitor settings?

Or just tell us if they are any better.
