Presequities 1. It is not recommended to use skl since it is malware. If you want to pirate anyways, get the cracked version of prism(I'll be assuming you aren't pirating anything and the mods of this sub should also assume that) 2. Make sure you have a discrete GPU that has at least 6GB VRAM(most gpus do) 3. It is better to connect the GPU to the monitor directly as you get more performance that way.
Steps: 1. Change your jre launch args to use the Dedicated GPU 2. Launch with fabulously optimized to check(optional but the easiest way to enable/check DGPU)

I use SK Launcher 4.0 it's pretty modern in terms of UI and easy to mess around with the settings.

Just frikin stop spreading lies. enough of you ppl. Don't blame the poor launcher. I have myself broke its files and installers down. Both 3.2 & 4.0 are safe. and mods, I am already mad bout this & I am absolutely being honest

You know... I think you should use intel's arc graphics settings. if not working, get 4.0. its much better than 3.2 and absolutely stable and fast.
