Hi, I am using my MSI GS65 to play Fifa 20 with the configuration of i7 8750h and a GTX 1070 max q. This setup should be getting me above 160 frames in the ultra graphics setting but I could only reach to 100fps (with dips reaching 60 fps very often) while playing the demo versions. I unlocked the fps to go higher than 60 in the settings.

My laptop plays other games on the expected fps it is supposed to get like Witcher 3 (huge fan) and PUBG but seems to suffer in FIFA a lot. This issue also happened on the FIFA Online 4 Chinese version that I played too. Is there any way to overcome this issue? I looked around the web and no one seems to have my issue. Also during gameplay, my CPU is always at above 90% while my GPU sits at like 10% utilization for the "copy" category not even "3D" (the 3D utilization is at like 3%) while my iGPU is at 60% (I got this through Task Manager). I've changed my Nvidia control panel setting to use the dGPU and this still occurs. My CPU does thermal throttle but only very little as it should reach 3.9GHz on all cores and it runs 3.75 to 3.89GHz during FIFA gameplay. My CPU also is not a bad chip as it runs Cinebench R15 multi-core with a score of around 1100. So this is probably not a CPU bottleneck. I also assign the dGPU to the game in the display setting in windows settings too. I am out of ideas. Of course, I tried deleting the graphics drivers and installing them again. other games run well but FIFA performance is grossly underwhelming. My guess is that the machine thinks that it can handle the load with the iGPU and it just tried to hang on and i can't make it use the dGPU. I am thinking this because the other titles are more demanding and would not run on the iGPU at all.I don't think it is the FPS counter problem because i can see the frequent stutters which occurs like every 10-30 seconds and that the FPS counter works in other games (its the geforce experience one).

This is really bugging me and makes playing the game greatly frustrating. I hope someone can help me and Thank you for your time!
