LENOVO Y740 problem with Resolve performance

Hi guys,

I’m opening this thread because I’m facing some unpleasant issues with my new laptop and now I’m at a total loss for a solution, as it seems it’s only me who’s having them.

My laptop is a 2019 Lenovo Legion Y740 with the following specs:

i7-8750H

16Gb ram

GTX 2060 6Gb

Win10 Home last update

All graphic drivers and OS updates seem to be up-to-date. Also, I don’t know if it’s an important info, but main drive is a 256Gb NVME SSD.

So, basically the issues I’m having are these:

on resolve (version 15 and 16 beta4), I don’t understand why but I’m getting choppy playback and lag, and a gpu usage of max 20-25%. The exports are good but I’m not getting the same benchs and results like others I’ve seen online: for example, many users show maximum gpu usage, while I’m getting almost nothing.

First, I changed the power settings to “max performance” on Win10.

On the Nvidia control panel, I tried both the auto select of the graphic processor, and then forced the “high-performance nvidia processor” to let both program just use the 2060.

Nothing of what I’ve done above gave any good results, and now I really don’t know what else I should try to solve these issues. Even my old laptop, a 2013 Lenovo Y580 i7-3630 and gtx660, is working much better than this one, this is making me crazy…

Thank you.

Hello,

I have the same problem. Choppy playback on my Dell XPS 15.
Does the Lenovo also relaying Nvidia graphics output through the integrated intel processor GPU? Means: Is there also a Intel GPU which cannot be diabled in this notebook?

Can you disable the Intel graphics (onboard with the CPU) with Device Manager?

No, it depends on the Intel GPU.
