*I wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in the Nvidia forum, I apologize if I chose poorly*
I recently purchased a new laptop not even a month ago. This is the laptop I have:
http
/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152817 The laptop has an Nvidia GeForce 970M GPU. A few days ago the GeForce Experience panel indicated there was a new driver so I updated it. Ever since my FPS on WoW were horrible. Normally I was getting 75-90 FPS on Ultra but after updating the FPS was jumpy and much lower, usually around 25-50, but jumped around a lot. 27, 55, 24, 47, etc. Made playing very irritating so I decided to fix this. The option to roll back the driver was greyed out so a friend suggested completing uninstalling the driver and reinstalling fresh. I've done this in the past with other computers so I uninstalled the driver and POOF! My computer no longer recognizes there's any video card other than the onboard one (Intel HD Graphics 5600). When I try just installing the driver it says "The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware."
I've tried following a tutorial on how to fix this problem but I'm already running into difficulty.
The second step says:
"2) Under Other Devices/ (or if your video card already has a driver under Display Adapter) click on Video Adapter"
Well there is nothing listed as Other Devices and under Display Adapter the ONLY option is Intel(R) HD Graphics 5600. Plus when I read further on that tutorial it seems a bit more complex than I'd prefer to try myself. I will if I have to but... isn't there any other way to fix this? (Especially since I can't seem to even fix the problem this way anyway.)
Help!!! (please)
