Morning crew!
Received my new beast yesterday, loaded up Steam, downloaded game, updated nVidia driver to latest, eagerly load up to be presented with unplayable 10/11 FPS. After a few off and on's, changing nVidia control panel to always use dGPU over iGPU the game went to playable FPS (60 FPS min on Sea of Thieves). However, now every time i go back in to play, FPS is down again to 10/11. The computer seems to not want to use the 3070 and stays on the integrated GPU. Anyone else have this issue, any advice before i get in the queue for technical support on the phone? Is it a buggy GeForce Experience? Or is there something else i need to worry about?
