I recently upgraded to a Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop, and I'm experiencing serious lag while trying to play games and watch videos at the same time. This wasn't a problem on my old workstation, so I'm a bit confused. I've tried a few things to fix the problem:
1. Disabled Hardware Accelerated Graphics Scheduling in Windows.
2. Set my refresh rate to 60 Hz instead of 144 Hz.
3. Capped my game's frame rate to 60 fps.
4. Updated my GPU driver.
Despite these efforts, I'm still struggling. Any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated!

When you're playing games and watching videos at the same time, it can really strain your GPU. It's possible that your previous laptop had a more capable discrete GPU, making it less noticeable. Check if your current setup is using integrated graphics instead. That could explain the lag you're seeing now.
It sounds like you're really dealing with performance issues. Make sure your power settings are set to performance mode. Also, double-check if you have properly configured your integrated GPU settings. If possible, try deactivating it if you're using a dedicated GPU now.
Without knowing the specs of both your old and new laptops, it's hard to pinpoint the exact issue. If you can share more details about the hardware, we might be able to help further!
Just a quick reminder: upgrading your laptop means swapping out parts for better ones, not just getting a new machine. Your new laptop might not necessarily be upgraded if it has a weaker GPU than your previous setup.
