Hi,

First make sure to run Windows Update and install all important updates there is for your laptop. Next is to make sure that the power management of NVIDIA is set to maximum performance. Lastly, is to try and do a clean install of the graphics card driver.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall NVIDIA graphics.
- Open Program and Features then uninstall anything related to NVIDIA graphics.
- Download and install the latest driver there is.
- Here's the link: nvidia.com/download/index.aspx.
- Reboot the laptop once installed then after the restart make sure to set your games to run using NVIDIA processor.
