I've been having some very odd performance issue ever since the game launched last week, I'll explain what they are exactly in just a few moments.
First off, let me start by sharing my laptop specifications.
Setup: ASUS Republic of Gamers G750JZ
Chipset: Intel? HM87 Express Chipset
CPU: Intel i7-4710HQ @ 2.50GHz
Memory: 32 GB DDR3L MHz SDRAM
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio - With latest available drivers from Realtek
SYS: Windows 8.1 (64 bit) - With latest updates installed
Nvidia Optimus:
Dedicated GPU: Nvidia GTX 880M @ 2500 MHz - With latest drivers installed - 359.00
Integrated GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4600 - With latest drivers available from Intel
Already troubleshot:
-Power settings set to high performance.
-Nvidia profile set to use high performance GPU (880M)
Now that, that's out of the way.
The issue I'm experiecing is overall bad framerates regardless of which graphical setting I'm using through the launcher. Now one might think that's natural because of optimization but heres the kicker.
My friend has the exact same laptop and setup. With the same installed drivers and version of windows and he is running the game smoothly without any issues at all.
We have compared GPU temperature and it's reads the same across the board. We've also monitored the fan-speed and CPU temperature and there is no noticeable difference.
I'm at my wits end and have tried every available fix that has been posted here, on reddit, the nvidia forums and the asus forums and nothing does any notable difference.
My friend is running the game at a solid 60 frames per second, at the high preset. And I'm barely scraping it by at 20-40 frames per second on the low preset.
