To resolve the issue of your game running slow due to the Nvidia graphics driver potentially not working properly, you can try the following steps:
-
Update the Graphics Driver: Go to the Nvidia website and download the latest compatible driver for your graphics card model. Install it and restart your laptop.
-
Roll Back the Driver: If you recently updated the driver and started experiencing issues, you might want to roll back to the previous version. You can do this through the Device Manager in Windows.
-
Check for Windows Updates: Sometimes, updating your Windows OS can resolve compatibility issues with drivers. Go to Settings > Update & Security to check for updates.
-
Modify Game Settings: Lower the graphics settings in the game’s options menu to see if this improves performance.
-
Optimize System Performance: Close unnecessary background programs to free up resources. You can do this via Task Manager.
-
Check Power Settings: Ensure your laptop is set to 'High Performance' in the Power Options settings to maximize hardware capabilities during gaming.
-
Reinstall the Game and Driver: As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall both the game and the graphics driver to see if this resolves the issue.
If these steps do not resolve the problem, there may be hardware limitations due to the age of the laptop or possible hardware malfunctions that cannot be addressed through software changes alone.
