Question Problem with minecraft

[a_person_in_need_of_help]

So the problem i'am having with minecraft is that when i take my laptop with me or just don't have it connected to my TV (used as primary display) the framerate just drops dramatically.
When i have my laptop connected to my TV the framerate is about 100-140 fps with absolutely no drops under 60, but when my laptop isn't connected to the TV the fps is 60 with frequent drops under it.
I don't see any reason for the fps to drop and be extremely unstable because the way i have my laptop when it's not connected to the TV is basically the same when it is connected, the problem doesn't occur in any other games i play.
The minecraft version i use is 1.8.9 with optifine.
Thank's in advance.

I DON'T think this is a driver issue, but nonetheless, please try to install the OEM VGA drivers from your Laptop Manufacturer's website. For Laptops, in case of any performance/stability issue, it is recommended that you try installing the VGA drivers directly from the OEM manufacturer.

Check the laptop's exact model number, and go to manufacturer's page to download/install the GPU drivers. What other games do you play on this Laptop ? Have you tried rollbacking the drivers ?? This seems more like a game issue though, or some setting.

My laptops GPU is a GTX 1050TI and the CPU is an I5 7300HQ.

Do you have all the latest firmware, system drivers, device drivers, BIOS, fully updated on your Laptop ? Have you tried disabling the INTEL HD graphics, if need be.

Not completely sure about all of them, is there an easy way to check all of them?
Also shouldi re-install my nvidia drivers since my geforce experience is giving me the error code 0x0001?

Yes

Okay so i just re-installed my nvidia drivers but it didn't fix it so any other suggestions.
One thing that i just thought of is that is it possible that my minecraft is using the Intel HD graphics instead of the GTX 1050TI?

 

[a_person_in_need_of_help]

So i fixed it.
The problem was caused by the fact that for some reason my minecraft had decided when it wasn' connected to a monitor it should use the Intel HD graphics instead of the GTX 1050TI, i don't know what caused it but at least i figured it out in the end.
Huge thank's for everyone who offered their help even though it didn't help with the problem, at least i re-installed my nvidia drivers because of this thread (probably wouldn't have otherwise).
So thank's again for everyone who offered help and cheers.

Might be possible. That's why I have asked you before this same quetsion, ""Have you tried disabling the INTEL HD graphics, if need"" ??

EDIT: Nvm, I'm glad you have figured out the problem.
