Dedicated Card: GTX 750m

Hello I have an Alienware 14 and I am having an odd problem the integrated and the dedicated video cards are showing in the device manager when I I press FN+F7 which is suppose to switch between dedicated and integrated it says it is Automatically set for optimization but when I play a simple game like League of legends even on the lowest settings it lags like crazy

Solutions I have tried:

1)Nividia Control Panel manage 3d settings setting it to Nividia high performance professor

2)I tried entering into the BIOS and going to advanced settings and far as I know it didn't show anything about video card.

3)I did update the dedicated card with Nividia Experience video card still shows in device manager but still games lag even at the lowest setting.
(tried to use FN+F7 function to switch between the cards but still says it is automatically set to optimize for performance maybe I can turn this auto function off some how and switch it manually?)

Hi,

Please do try this troubleshooting steps.
- Uninstall the NVIDIA graphics driver from Device Manager and same goes in Programs and Features anything related to NVIDIA.
- Download and install the driver from NVIDIA support site using this link: nvidia.com/download/index.aspx
- Reboot the laptop once the driver has been installed.
- Make sure that NVIDIA is set to run all the games you have.
- Open NVIDIA Control Panel and click Manage 3D settings
- Click on Program Settings tab and select the game you want to choose a graphics card for from the drop down list.
- Select the "preferred graphics processor" as High-performance NVIDIA processor.
