Viewport FPS in Roblox Studio is unstable

Hello,

I’m having issues with performance stuttering when using Roblox Studio. To not waste your time, I’ve done the following things to try and resolve this issue on my end:

  • Completely reinstalled Graphics Drivers (Latest NVIDIA Driver for GTX 1650)
  • Completely removed all traces of Roblox from my system (both Player and Roblox Studio using Revo Uninstaller)
  • Tried using Roblox Studio Mod Manager to force Roblox Studio to use other Render Engines (Metal, Vulkan, OpenGL)

Below is a short and sweet video showcasing the problem:

  • One of the Plugins (icon plugin) looks like it’s active, but it was disabled. For some reason the buttons did not disappear, but it was indeed toggled off

I haven’t seen any posts about this issue, and the only thing roughly close to it was this Bug Report by another forum user:

Script editor slows down to 30-40FPS when scrolling/typing

Some things to note

  • This issue seems to occur at random? Sometimes the FPS stutters badly, then randomly improves sometimes.
  • I have ALL plugins disabled, just running base Roblox Studio with Direct3D11 selected as the render
  • Switching off Betas never improved this issue.

Bumping in hopes this actually gets noticed.

Bump again (and for the last time I suppose), even though this category is probably never read.

I know it’s been a long time since this post was made, and because I did end up finding a solution (and as expected no one left a reply), I figured I’d share for those who were in my exact shoes.

This issue is most prominent on Laptop Hybrid GPU scenarios. If your laptop has got a MUX switch, you don’t need to worry about this issue at all, and simply need to go into the BIOS or use the appropriate software to reboot into the Dedicated GPU mode.

If you don’t got a MUX switch, he short and sweet of it is, you need to force Roblox Studio to use your High Performance GPU in Windows Graphics settings. You’ll have to manually set it each time the software updates (which is incredibly painstaking and wish you didn’t need to do that), or you can alternatively use a software called Win Global GPU which does this task for you.

I’d only recommend using this software if you do not have an external monitor for your laptop. Depending on the laptop, the HDMI port (or whatever ur laptop uses) goes directly to your High Performance GPU, completely avoiding the need for Win Global GPU.

If you don’t, that program should suffice. I’d recommend setting up a Task Scheduler task that fires up the program on boot so if Roblox Studio reinstalls itself when it updates (because that’s exactly what Roblox does, have no clue why) it is set to High Performance immediately.

and I guess the note to self is to never use this category for help?
