Game play issues for my Envy 15t

Hey all,

I recently purchased a new Envy 15t with this setup (See below).
Before purchasing i heard that it played starcraft 2 decently without any big lags so i bought it and it was a bit laggy for my but didnt think anything about it even though it was annoying to play. I just bout the old Unreal game to get a little retro and it;s super laggy.
So now I'm thinking maybe there's something weird going on with the comp.
Can someone help give me suggestions on how to check if everything is working okay? Is the switchable graphic actually switching to Nvidia during game play? how can i check? When I'm playing either game the comp doesnt make a lot of sound so i thought maybe it the system or it just not let Nvidia do it's thing. I also have it plugged in hoping that this will allow it to switch to performance mode.

Thanks for all the help

I would suggest that it is not switching to the Nvidia when you game. Check and see if you can create profiles in your GPU software.
