Still no update? It seems that (graphics) driver-related problems are not uncommon to Inspiron 15 Gaming so I would expect at least some information from Dell.
Hello, thank you for your response! I also did not manage to find the power saving feature in BIOS. However the problem is (nearly) identical even when the laptop lid is opened and the external monitor is connected ... so that's weird. Not sure if saving mode is the reason in this case. :/
Hey, I have the same issue with 7566. Either way, the FPS drop drastically when an external Monitor is connected. Bios and Graphics driver are up to date. That is not what you want when buying a gaming laptop. I hope dell will investigate and fix this ASAP.
Oh, I am glad I am not the only one with this problem! On the other hand, I feel sorry for you as I know how bad is that. And I absolutely agree with you on this, this problem is nothing you want to experience, especially on a gaming laptop. Anyway, I am also looking forward to seeing this problem fixed ASAP ... it can't be that difficult. When I decided to buy this notebook, I was like "It's DELL, that's gonna be great and well-functioning" so this is kind of disappointment. Hope they are searching for a fix yet!
PS: I tried newest Intel drivers about a week ago and they made everything even worse! When notebook display-only, the ntb display didn't even work for like 10 - 15 minutes, I had to do lots of restarts to make it work, this is so crazy.
Workarounds that work for me: 1. Kill "Desktop Windows Manager" process from task manager. 2. Disable/enable Intel graphics adapter from device manager. 3. Restart the system when only the external display is active.
The problem with display stuttering occurs every time I switch from the laptop display to an external display.
Hello, thank you for your answer! I tried to do something similar – I completely uninstalled the Intel drivers and disabled their installation via gpedit. This seemed to help in such a way that the external display was fine, however, the notebook screen was stuttering. What's bad is the fact that those workarounds are just temporary and not suited for work. :/ Anyway, thank you for your advice – if I will be in a "gaming-only" session, I will try it for sure. I hope that the Nvidia/Dell/Microsoft ... whoever is responsible for this ... will fix this soon.

This solution does not work. :/ I still have a noticeable FPS drop compared to the screen 1 (i.e. notebook screen) only.

Hello,
I have this problem on another laptop with hybrid graphics (Intel HD 630 + Nvidia GTX 1060).
Found this thread (https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1016860/laptop-1070-external-monitor-stutter/) on Nvidia forum. It seems some other laptop brands are also affected by this problem.
Workarounds that work for me:
1. Kill "Desktop Windows Manager" process from task manager.
2. Disable/enable Intel graphics adapter from device manager.
3. Restart the system when only the external display is active.
The problem with display stuttering occurs every time I switch from the laptop display to an external display.
