Hi

I'm playing ARMA 3 in standard graphics. I don't know why but it gives me 8-15 FPS and 60-70 centigrades of heat with it. I've tried to optimise the game from GeForce Experience API but that didn't budge either. In fact, I was having 50 something FPS on CS:GO and 60 FPS on LoL. I really don't know what happened, so I'm here to ask for forum's help and opinions.

Here are my laptop's specs:

Intel i5 4200M @3.1GhZ
8 GB of RAM
nVidia GT745M 2 GB 128bit
1 TB HDD
 
try reinstalling laptop video driver. check in the bios that your using the nvidia gpu and have not turned it off.
