I’ve inherited a laptop running Intel and a Nvidia MX150 (2gb)

My experience so far is terrible. I’ve got GTAV installed and set to use the card and the performance is a stuttering, input lag, tearing mess.

Most of my research points to a lack of Vulkan support on the card.

Would this perform better on Windows? 😓

I wanted to use this machine specifically to run GTAV.

The Intel gfx, under Debian, are capable of running Stray on minimum, with zero issues.

But GTAV, even on minimum, is still stuttering. Like 6fps.

And No Man’s Sky, on Nvidia, is even worse than GTAV. On Intel, it’s almost as bad.

I’m pretty bummed… Is this card only usable in Windows? Or is it just a bad card (not broken)?

      That really doesn’t sound right, I have a 930m and it ran GTA V on med-high 720p (on Windows though…), the game itself is ps3/x360 era so you probably have a problem with the driver or maybe double check it’s running on dGPU

        my first laptop with 860m ran GTA 5 at like 15FPS on launch (on Windows)
