I have an RTX 2050 paired with an integrated graphics unit, and I'm experiencing some serious performance issues. When I disable the integrated graphics, my frame rates in Valorant drop to around 4 fps, which is unplayable. However, when I enable the integrated graphics, the game runs normally, but the GPU usage seems really low. Also, there's a change in the refresh rate: it goes from 180 Hz when both GPUs are enabled to just 60 Hz when I disable the integrated graphics. Am I doing something wrong, or is my hardware malfunctioning?

I'm on a laptop, actually. I have a Ryzen 5 5500H, RTX 2050, and 16 GB of RAM. I was just trying to test the NVIDIA card by disabling the integrated one, but I don't usually run it that way.
Are you using a laptop or desktop? It's usually best not to disable the integrated GPU, since that can cause all sorts of issues. Also, make sure you're plugged into the right port if you're on a desktop. What are the rest of your specs?
