    Hello community. Sorry if my English is not very good, try not to use abbreviations since I speak very little English language.

    I bought my notebook about 1 year and a half.

    Honestly the first day I bought had several problems, I never took the warranty because in my country is a mess regarding guarantees.

    Try to show the problems that I have, I will put pictures and if anyone is capable of helping to solve would be very grateful.

    First: I never updated the BIOS of the notebook. I never knew how to tell if this updated or not.

    Second: Never did overclok.

    Images of the components (By Performance Test)

    Well, go to the mess ...

    I endorse:
    ALL DRIVERS ARE UPDATED AND RE-INSTALLED THE DAY.

    First problem: The notebook has two video cards as you can see in the images (see above). The "integrated" Intel HD 4000 and "dedicated" Nvidia GeForce 740m GTM.

    What to do in this case to fully utilize the dedicated video card? You must disable the integrated video card? You can reach ocacionar problems disable integrated video card, or having a higher consumption of resources in the notebook?

    BIOS must be configured for the dedicated video card will only use? (Nvidia)

    In almost all games (such as LoL yet, Lineage 2, Counter Strike 1.6)

    It looks a little delay, or rather "Lag" image in these games.

    These are games that do not ask so many resources, and to put these high graphics can play ... but is not fluent :(

    Mostly playing with 15-25 FPS, quietly dedicated video board would have to run them at 50-60.

    Another problem: It says "Shadowplay" is not ready. Why?

    I hope answers, whoever reads this thank you SO much for your time.

    Your computer has Optimus technology which is made to change the GPU being used depending on what you're doing like for gaming. This is fully automatic and you can not turn it on and off when you want. You are also not able to disable the Intel HD 4000, again this is normal. The most you can do is get into Nvidia control panel and under Manage 3D settings you can assign particular games to run off the Nvidia GPU. It should then switch when you turn that game on.
