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

it's requirements are low , try running other games in 1080p high on 750m, I am having issues even with a gtx 850m with some 1080p games

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.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
