    I've been trying to play the BBC Dr. Who game on my Z11. It runs OKish using Stamina graphics. Under Speed though, it's insanely slow. It takes about 30 seconds to update the main menu screen. Any ideas why it's so slow using the Nvidia GPU?

    Use EVGA precision and see if your GPU is actually maxed out? Also check your power and thermal settings that you aren't throttling your CPU or have it on silent mode etc.
