Less FPS On Laptop's Screen, More on other screens.

[lynext]

Hi, I got my new laptop with specs:

i7 8750H
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX 1060 6 GB
256 GB M2 SSD, 1 TB HDD

However, I'm facing a really weird problem. When I'm playing any game on my Laptop's own screen, FPS is noticable less comparing to when I play on my external monitor.

Laptop's Screen (Far Cry 3)

Monitor

When being in the same places, I never have FPS below 60 on my Monitor, While on the Laptop's Screen it is 45-60.

In power Options change the GPU and everything else to run in Maximum Performance. Do the same in Nvidia Control Panel and Intel Graphics Options. Also see if VSYNC get turned on for the laptop display.
Update: I noticed your Specs, Far Cry 3 should run a lot better on your laptop. Try to run Far cry 3 with Dedicated High performance Nvidia GPU, It could be running on the integrated GPU

Everything is on maximum performance. And VSYNC is off for both screens. Far Cry 3, and every other game is running on dedicated nvidia GPU. I tried to run with Intel and the fps was 20-30 so it must be running on GTX 1060.

I still couldn't figure it out but I have and idea. I think that the laptop's screen is always connected to Intel HD Graphics. But when playing, GTX 1060 renders the game, sends it to Intel HD Graphics, and Intel HD graphics draw it on the screen. This make the computer lose about 20-25 fps. But when I plug the computer into the monitor, I connect the HDMI cable directly to GTX 1060's output. So no loss.

This makes sense, because I have an option to disable the dedicated graphics card and use Intel HD Graphics for better battery lifetime. And if my laptop screen has one input, this connection scheme makes sense. But I think how it must be is connecting both GTX 1060 and Intel HD graphics to the screen, and when I enable or disable one, the other must draw to the screen.

I'm not sure if this is the reason but I searched the whole internet and couldn't find anyone having the same problem. This is just my thought.

Can i know your Laptop model and Make? You should be getting more performance because My old Low end laptop from 2014 (i34005u 2.4Ghz, Nvidia 820m 1 GB, 4GB RAM) gave 60 Fps on High settings with minimal fps drops. Also for most of the laptops the HDMI is not attached to the GPU rather on the MOBO itself. There is a possibility that this could be windows itself.
Update: Can you also enable GPU clock and Voltage on Afterburner

It is a brand called "Monster" only available in Turkey I think. However, other people who own the same brand doesn't have the problem. I installed windows 10 from it's own website but I guess I'll reinstall it and see how it does. If even that doesn't fix the problem, I'll send the computer to technical service. I'll update if it does any good.

Before Reinstalling windows roll back to Old GPU drivers, if that does not work then rollback to Old version of windows 10 (before update 1609)...
