I don't understand your problem.
The 860M can play games latest games at high and older games at ultra.

At high settings?
That is expected.
You will need a GPU equivalent to a gtx 980 or 780Ti if you want to run Watch Dogs at high settings. And even then,you will get about 50 fps.
Try running it at medium settings. You should see an improvment in FPS. Also,try some other games,like Crysis 3 and BF4. They are also very demanding and you will be able to play them at medium or high IMO.

Not much really.
You will be fine with your laptop for about 3 years or so and then you will have to upgrade.It may last longer,but when the time comes,you will feel it. 😉

i feel my laptop is slow because when i refresh it takes up to 2 sec to open refresh tab
how to check that my all 4 cores are running

 

[LukaBoki]

It takes 2 secs the first time you right click ir every time you right click?
Also,you can use the F5 button to refresh.

no i meant to say that it takes more time to do any task

 

[LukaBoki]

2 secs to do anything?
Open Internet,open games,open a folder,...?

yeah to open a folder

 

[LukaBoki]

Something is maybe occuping the RAM or the CPU,but 2 secs isn't that bad IMO. On my laptop,it takes 15 seconds to open Opera or Chrome.

I posted my answer earlier but I wasn't a member so I don't think it posted? if it did post please ignore this post.

im assuming you have onboard graphics in your laptop as well. Most laptops with the 860m also have onboard graphics
and the 860M is supposed to kick in when needed.

anyway to fix your FPS issue. go into the NVidia control panel - manage 3D settings - global settings
its probably set to "auto" change it to "high performance video card"
or if you go to program settings you can add games that are more demanding to run off the 860M.
its less hassle to just use the global settings.

the onboard graphics are pretty decent for onboard so it will run newer games but with lower FPS
so that's why the 860M doesn't always kick in.

Just remember to switch the settings back to "auto" when your not gaming to save battery/power.

I had the same problem. My old desktop had a GTX 460 and would run WoW on ultra at 35-40 FPS.
other games on high 25-35 FPS.

when I got my laptop I expected it to do better but I was only getting 15-20. I KNEW there had to be something wrong !
I discovered it was running off the onboard ( which is impressive for onboard )

So when I forced the 860m to be my default card im now getting anywhere from 70-100 FPS.
Ive been very happy with the laptop. I looked at the y50 but went with the Asus ROG.
it has the same specs but has a better warranty and looks cooler lol

it does get pretty hot. make sure you invest in a laptop cooler you can pick one up on amazon for under $20.
