I have a low-end gaming laptop that's relatively new but not used mainly for heavy gaming. I noticed it has Intel Graphics Software and Nvidia GeForce RTX software installed. Do I need to configure both for the game Palia I'm playing, or does it not really matter? I'm using a 144Hz MSI Gaming monitor, but the game's performance is pretty choppy—lots of skipping and lagging, only on this laptop. I've played Palia for two years, so I'm familiar with the graphics settings, and I've let Nvidia optimize them. Despite that, the game still runs poorly. I'm unsure if the issue is with my laptop, the game itself, or possible conflicts between the two graphics software. Any advice?

And just to double check, do you definitely have an Nvidia graphics card? It’s hard to give specific advice without knowing what’s inside your laptop. Information about your processor and RAM would help narrow it down.
In general, Intel graphics are used for regular tasks like browsing, while Nvidia is dedicated to gaming. It sounds like a common setup. Your laptop likely uses the integrated Intel graphics to save power when it's on battery, but switches to the Nvidia GPU for more intensive tasks. So, having both programs isn't an issue and they shouldn’t clash. The lag could be due to various factors—could your laptop be under-spec'd? It might have limited RAM, an older CPU, or could be overheating. Outdated drivers could also cause performance drops. Maybe check your laptop specs to see if they meet the game's requirements.
That's a good point! Have you tried playing Palia on the laptop's own screen instead of the external monitor? Sometimes the external displays can create compatibility or performance issues.
