Trials Rising: Poor performance (low FPS) for Laptop with Hybrid Graphic (Intel HD530 / GeForce GTX965M)

I run Trials Rising on my XMG P406 Laptop.

The configuration:

  • Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M

I get a framerate of 15 FPS, which is not playable. In "Advanced options" of Trials Rising I choosed the lowest quality setting, and the lowest resolution.

I installed the newest version of the NVIDIA drivers: 419.17 (2019.2.22) During installation of the driver I choosed the option to clean old nvidia driver.

I totally fullfill the requirements for the game: https://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=35656&game=Trials%20Rising

Does somebody have an idea what could be wrong, or what else I could try?


Have the solution from the Steam Forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/641080/discussions/0/1840188800785734142/

Worked for me on Windows 10.

Do the following:

  1. Right click on desktop and select display settings.
  2. Select grahics settings.
  3. Under classic app select browse and find the Trials Rising exe file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Trials Rising\datapack or whatever drive you have Steam installed.
  4. Select the exe file and once it is displayed in graphic settings double click and select options. Select High performance, and you are good to go.

Important note: That was the first thing what I was doing when I had the problem, but I choosed the file "Launch_Trials_Rising.exe". Make sure you use "datapack/trialsrising.exe", then it works.
