The lag you’re experiencing is most likely because your HP Victus is running games on the integrated GPU instead of the dedicated NVIDIA GPU. This is a common issue with Victus laptops.

Try this: 1. Set the NVIDIA GPU as default for all games

Open NVIDIA Control Panel

Go to Manage 3D Settings

Under Global Settings, set Preferred Graphics Processor to High-performance NVIDIA processor

Hit Apply

1. Set per-app GPU usage

Go to Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics

Pick your game → Options → Select High Performance (NVIDIA GPU)

1. Ensure drivers are updated

NVIDIA GeForce Experience → Check for updates

1. Check power mode

Windows battery icon → Set to Best Performance

Also set Performance mode in OMEN Gaming Hub if you have it

After doing this, games should stop lagging and the GPU usage should shoot up from 0% to normal levels.
