i'm experiencing a really weird issue where my laptop will display games to my screen around 40fps but in-game HUDs like mangoHUD will perfectly report 60 fps or well above. this issue doesn't affect 2d applications, and if it helps any i'm also experiencing screen tearing. i'll attach important information about my computer, lmk if i need to post anything else. i'm not exactly what qualifies as a question i can ask to support so i'll delete this thread if it's not relevant to the topic of this channel thumbsup

issue is still persistent and not sure how to fix it, and also have no choice but to use nvidia or integrated so i'm not really sure what to do

do you use nouveau drivers?

I don't think so

#

i set up prime if that's any correlation

i dont remember if 4200m has driver support anymore

#

i think your gpu may be simply just too weak to run any games

#

therefore you get screen tearings

or summon killertofu
