Like the title says, I have a laptop & a 1440p monitor (although I have set it as 1080p for performance reasons), and I get insane lag while playing any games, even when my CPU & GPU usage is almost always around 50%. Also, I hae FRAPS installed, and sometimes it says that I get 60+ fps but the game still looks like a power point presentation. What could cause this?

Thanks in advance :)

Yeah I'll pull out my magic 8-ball and ask it what exact hardware you have.

Run hwmonitor while gaming and check the temps overall and also each core. It's possible your laptop is thermal throttling for some reason.

Make sure it is using the correct GPU, most laptops have onboard and then an addon gpu.
