HELP: ASUS ROG GL552VW Performance

[Entiiced]

Alrighty. Here we go.

I am new here. When I say that, I mean I signed up 30secs ago to post this. I do end up wandering the forums a fair bit though, however. I've probably even done a classic and posted this into the wrong subsection.

I have been playing racing games for quite some time. iRacing, Automoblista, rFactor 2, stuff like that. I can run those games on high quality settings, and usually see 100+ fps.

However, I have recently picked up Assetto Corsa (after playing the watered down console version), and no matter what I do to the graphics settings, I cannot seem to get any more than like, 20 frames per second. Sometimes slightly more, sometimes slightly less. Even with reflections turned off, smoke off, and minimal settings elsewhere.

I am curious as to whether or not there is something somewhere (either application or NVidia GeForce related) which I have missed in order to run this game effectively. I just find it strange that I can run similar games faultlessly, but struggle to run Assetto Corsa smoothly. I have the same issue running Forza Horizon 3, but that is not a game I'm super fussed on, so it's a problem for another day.

Please keep in mind that I am a COMPLETE PC neanderthal... So even the most obvious things have probably been missed by me.

Happy to reply with any images/specs if required. I'll attach all I know, but there's probably much more to add, since it's me...

My Laptop Specs (note is being ran to a single monitor via. a HDMI cable);
ASUS Republic of Gamers Laptop, Model GL552VW,
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M,
Intel Core i7-6700HQ @ 2.60GHz (8CPU's),
8.00GB RAM,
Windows 10, 64bit x63 processor,
Using DirectX 12.

Resolution is 1920 x 1080, @ 60Hz.
Has an approx. 120gb SSD if that makes any kind of difference.



Thanks in advance. I apologize for any excess information I have provided, and am happy to provide more if needed.

Thanks and regards.

Game is on Steam. Forza Horizon 3 runs the same way.

Do you think that my laptop is capable of running Assetto Corsa smoothly and with good visuals? If so, what would you do on the laptop in order to make sure you're getting the most out of it?

Have u check that the game is indeed using the gtx 960m and not the intel.gpu?and what driver version are u using?

 

[Entiiced]

Hi mate. Sorry for the heavily delayed reply. I am 100% that I am utilizing the NVidia graphics, and my driver version is v384.76. Would you recommend uninstalling/reinstalling them? If so, what's the easiest way to do so?

Thanks.

Your gpu should be able to handle around40-60fps on med settings.that low fps seems like its running on intel gpu.do u monitor your gpu usage?

Managed to fix it. Bit of a weird one, not sure why it worked. Tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 8 (I am on Windows 10 OS), framerate went up to my max set of 60 and stays there on "very high" settings. Bit weird, but I would recommend trying if anybody else has this issue! Was 100% set to Nvidia.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Thats odd.my friend laptop with the same gpu runs it on windows 10 without the need to run it on compatibility mode.well glad u fix the issue
