I have a dell xps 15 which I assumed was a beast of a machine but even a simple game such as besiege lags when I try and run a big enough machine in the game. When I run the task manage while the game is running, it shows that the game isnt using a lot of resources. I changed my power plan to high performance and laptop is being charged while I play. What to do to make the game use more ram, video memory and cpu power?

i think 1366x768 or 1920x1080 will be your laptop's recommended resolution...try games on that recommended resolutions with high settings...i think it will work fine don't go for 3200x1800...its damn huge resolution

bro at 1080p u cant even get stable 30fps with a gtx 980m !
750m is a kid against that card .. play at 1366×768 and lower the settings to lowest .. + also lower population variety etc . hope it helps

JFYI On GTX 980M I Got 40-60Fps on Max Settings at 1080p.

GTX 980M Is Only A lil Lower in Performance Than a GTX 970 (Desktop Ver).

the mobile processesors arent supposed to perform on par with their desktop counterparts.

980M is slower than a 970 and its a fact.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
