I've got an MSI GP72 2QE with a i7-5700HQ, GTX950 M and 8 GB ram on Windows 10.

When the Nvidia GTX is selected within Civ6 the game starts off fine. The GPU is ~30-40% usage and CPU is ~10-20%. After 5 to 15 minutes the FPS drops way off and audio is horrible. GPU usage goes to 0% and CPU goes to 80-100%. The time between the turn ending and starting is in the order of many minutes. It is essentially unplayable.

No combination of settings resolves this. Quality is at minimum. Older and newer drivers have been tried.

If I select the Intel integrated graphics in Civ 6 the game is playable but slow. This GPU quickly goes to 100% usage but the CPU remains at 10-20%.

Are there any suggestions on how I could get the game running on the GTX without it failing after a few minutes?

Thanks!
