so I just bought the Y510p beginning of January and so far I'm extremely disappointed by the results of its gaming performance.

I have been using a desktop before I got this laptop... so I hadn't fully comprehended the difference until I received my new laptop.
My desktop specs:
Case: Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
GPU: ASUS GTX 780 3GB
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)
So, as you can see I have a very pleasant gaming experience with this desktop but when I bought this Y510p laptop I thought I would get atleast 60fps on BF4, BF3, Rift, Skyrim, etc... on medium settings... but apparently the SLI isn't being utilized correctly because of Windows 8 (i'm assuming)... I use MSI afterburner and GPU usage only maxes out a little over 50% for both GPUs running.
Should I return this laptop and get the Sager?
