My Dell 7559 has the latest Nvidia graphic driver installed for GTX960M. It is using the 'High Performance' power plan on Windows 10 64bit, also the power management mode is on 'Prefer maximum performance' for Nvidia settings. The problem is my laptop is not pumping out as much fps as those benchmarks posted on Youtube with the same laptop. My model is non 4k i5 regular hdd version. For example, with all low settings on CSGO, I'm getting <100 fps running around dust2 alone, while others say they are getting 100-200+. Another example, my Dota 2 is struggling to stay on constant 60fps with all high settings, especially in team fights. I have AC power plugged in when gaming.

Is this normal? Or am I expecting a lil bit too much from a laptop with only GTX960M?

on ac or battery?

i5 ?

yea your test was are you on AC or battery?

Yes, i5 model, and running on ac.

TS, go to your NVIDIA Control Panel, 3D settings.
Then Manage 3D Settings.
After that, Global Settings.
Then on the preferred graphics processor, select : High Performance NVIDIA Processor

i tested on my on battery its laggy once i plug ac its smooth again.

What about your average fps figure? For example, all low settings on CSGO.

on battery with max setting is 27 to 30fps

on ac with max setting is 95 to 120fps

new gpu has software feature that lock fps to increase battery life.

Manually set your 3D graphic to Nvidia high performance. It will solve your problem TS.
