Hello!
So few years before I got this great ASUS gaming laptop. I'll copy paste the info I gathered on what specs I have :
Windows 10 x64
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300HQ CPU @2.30GHz 2.30GHz
16 GB RAM
And the most important in this case- graphic cards :
Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
What's the problem ?
So for like a 2 years everything was going smoothly, I played really demanding games, like new Tomb Rider, Doom etc. I also loved playing Mordhau. But after a while something went wrong. I dont recall if this was a sudden change, or if it came slowly, but I could't play Mordhau. The graphics was just horribly stuttering, it was unplayable, even on lowest settings. I could barely get through the menu! The game currently had some optimization problems, so I thought it was it and was just playing LoL and some other things. But after I while I saw, that some games seem to have similar problems. Few games for example : CS-GO, Rainbow six siege, Northgard, Path of Exile, Killing Floor 2 etc. What is strange - these are games I used to play easly on best settings, now some barely run with lowest settings, and some just dropped in performance. What is weirder, some games like LOL for example I can run on highest without any problems.
Next, what I tried to do with this situation?
I've checked task menager during Mordhau, and I saw alarmingly high GPU usage ( 95 - 99 % all the time while still in menu ! )
- I've tried to nibble around my graphic card settings, so I went to the geforce experience. It said I have update available - geForce Game ready driver. Great! It was installing, but when it restared my PC to finish the install, it showed the same exact message - that I have update available. Strange. I tried installing it few times but it was all for nothing. The geforce experience menu was really ... empty, from what I saw on YT videos about it, it had much more buttons and options than mine. Hmmm. Actually the only button I could click was the update driver button and it went nowhere.
- So, I've read some forums, I found something somewhat fitting, it said I need to uninstall the drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller. I did this, went to the nvidia page and installed the newest ones directly from there. Nothing really changed.
- There were some other minor tries on my behalf, but nothing worked.
- I went to check the Device Menager. I saw that in my Nvidia Geforce Driver there i yellow warning sign and a message " Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43 ). ". I've looked it up and what advices I found, basicaly said that I must reinstall the drivers with DDU ( which I did earlier ).
Now I don't know If I did something wrong, I missed something or is there an easy explanation to what is happening. Anyway I'll be really thankful if you happen to know the answer. And sorry for my english if I made mistakes.
