Games Running at 1 FPS: What's Going On?
Asked by

I've got a Lenovo Legion 5i Pro with an i7-14650HX and an NVIDIA RTX 4060 (8GB, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD). Everything was running smoothly for about 4-5 months, but then suddenly all my games, even the menus, are stuck at just 1 FPS, making them unplayable. I've noticed that the GPU usage is around 0% while the games are running. The problem seems to be only with the game applications, as both regular browsing and browser games are functioning normally. I've tried updating the drivers via the NVIDIA app, switched everything to high performance, and even did a clean reinstall of the GPU drivers using DDU in Safe Modeโyou know, both the latest and an older version of the NVIDIA driver. Nothing has worked so far, and I'm stuck with this 1 FPS issue. What should I do?
Edit: I figured it outโturns out it was MSI Afterburner's RivaTuner feature where I accidentally limited the FPS to 1!

Just to clarify, is this happening in just one game or across all of them? That might help narrow down if it's a system-wide issue or something specific.

It sounds like your CPU might be defaulting to integrated graphics instead of your dedicated GPU. Double-check your graphics settings to make sure that your RTX 4060 is selected as the primary GPU for games.
