So i bet all of you are familiar with Nvidia Optimus. For those who don't know well basically it's a software that bridges your Dedicated GPU to your Integrated GPU, and that "bridge" basically somehow decrease the dedicated GPU performance. When you run Osu, somehow the game can't fully detect your Dedicated GPU resulting on FPS drops and input delay, in my case before the fix, i could only hit 288 FPS and 3.0ms which was slow. So anyway disabling your Dedicated GPU from running the game actually boost Osu FPS by a mile

So here are two possible way to fix your FPS and input delay

Method 1(main)
1. open Windows Graphic settings (Just type "Graphic Settings" in windows search)
2. Locate Osu
3. Choose options
4. Then select Power Saving

this method basically disables your Dedicated GPU and somehow it boosts your fps and decrease input delay, yes there will be fps drops in the main menu but once you play a map, it drastically boost everything

Method 2(not recommended)
1. Open Device Manager
2. Click on "Display Adapters"
3. Locate your dedicated GPU (in my case it's RTX 2070)
4. Right click and choose disable

this method is not recommended cause in some cases it f***** up your laptop but in my case it doesn't, if it doesn't, then once you finish playing osu, you can reenable the GPU again just by right click the GPU and choose "Enable"

After the fix, i got around 900+ FPS and 1.2-2 ms input delay

feel free to ask question or if anyone have any better method then you can reply

My laptop have the same problem so i just did your first method and it worked really well tho. Can't get that much fps like you but a decent fps and latency is so enough for me. Tysm for sharing man, really appreciated ! (Sorry for the bad English anyway because i'm not native speaker).

is there a way to know if your computer will get fucked up if you opt by the 2nd option?

only one way to find out

Can you just not use the Nvidia Optimus? I don't find how "bridging" integrated and discrete GPU is power saving.

Welp I have bad luck. My 2019 Acer nitro 5 with GTX1050, after doing the first method stayed the same. Almost 1000ms of latency. Decided to download osu!lazer and it run like butter, absolutely no latency at all. Just as I was finishing a beautiful beatmap run, since probably years, I come to find out scores in osu!lazer doesn't register. :D

sorry to uhhh bump a old thread but my understanding was the reason why nvidia optimus bottlenecks laptops so hard is the ones built with it in mind literally dont even connect the gpu to the laptops display hence the "bridge".
