Laptops usually come with two graphics cards: the integrated graphics used for power-efficiency and the dedicated graphics used for tasks that require high performance. Windows decides what graphics card to use depending on the application you are running, but for some reason it does not detect Lunar Client as a game. As a result, the integrated graphics card is used, resulting in lower performance. You will need to manually override this setting.
