    Hi people, hope you guys can help me:

    My laptop (Asus N550JV) has two gfx cards - intel HD internal for 2D etc applications and a GeForce GT 750M for 3D. Everything was working fine until i updated windows yesterday. (full system specs below)

    After the Update the Nvidia card was listed as not working properly in my device manager. Uninstalled the driver (completely removed it), then installed new driver from Nvidia's website. Didn't fix , but I stumbled upon an article advising me to flash the bios, cause apparently there was a fix for this. Did that, and the card was listed as working again. Tried to run a game and instead of the 70-80fps I had before I was now down to 15-20.

    I then did a system restore to a point 4 weeks ago when everything was pretty much fine. Still no improvement in performance.

    The Nvidia card is running the games (there is a little indicator that tells me when it is active and which progs are running on it), but the performance is lackluster. The settings in the nvidia control panel were not changed - I checked. AA is turned off and everything is pretty much on performance.

    Could it be a bios setting or something with the energy plan? (I changed neither and the energy plan is as far as I can tell the same as before.)

    Full system specs:

    Core i7 4700HQ 2.4GHz
    8 gigs RAM
    HD 4600
    GT 750M 2GB
    Seagate 1TB HDD
    Windows 8.1 x64

    Any ideas?
