Hello, i am having some trouble with my dedicated graphic card playing urbanterror.

These are my computer specs:
- i5 5200U 2.2Ghz to 2.7Ghz(turbo) with intel hd 5500 (onboard graphics)
- 8 GB RAM
- Nvidia GeForce 840M

Well if i run the game with the intel hd graphics 5500 i got 125 fps(no drops), but if i run with the nvidia i got like 80-100 fps (and drops). The nvidia 840m is much more powerful than intel 5500, so why is this happening?

Best regards,
SiLeNcE

Well ur problem is mine as well. But i found that Nvidia card use adaptive power supply that when u need a better imagine the video card use her full memory, but then he disable this and force the card to use less power and thats why ur fps drops. For my GT 440 MSI card i use Afterburn program to force the video card to run on maximum power always. In linux i have to change nvidia settings from adaptive power to maxim. So like this i have les drops of FPS.

Make sure your driver is up to date, or it can cause fps drops.

I already did, but it stays the same, it's like the gpu is not running with performance, but at a low stage...

As you can see in the image below, my clocks are fine and so is the load (red bar almost 100% when urt running), so i don't know what is the problem if the graphics are running fine

I got the same graphic card as you do. I had the problem before, but now it isn't a problem.
Mainly when I lag, I always check for a new driver update, as in 9/10 cases it's the reason behind that.
Else I go to the NVIDIA control panel, and PhysX I set it to prioritize my 840m card.
Next I go to adminstrate 3D settings and find the UrT game file. I edit the power management mode option to maximum.
