Depends on if its cpu or gpu bound, but usually turning down msaa and other aa settings helps a good deal with dropped frame rates, as it relieves a lot of "un-needed" hardware stressing 

 

Theres also the issue of overheating with that model

 

So TLDR, turn down AA settings, and other graphical settings if it continues

Turning down the graphical settings

 

 

Depends on if its cpu or gpu bound, but usually turning down msaa and other aa settings helps a good deal with dropped frame rates, as it relieves a lot of "un-needed" hardware stressing 

 

Theres also the issue of overheating since it is a laptop, but as far as I know that model stays cool relatively well 

 

So TLDR, turn down AA settings, and other graphical settings if it continues 

The only game that I can test right now is slender the 8 pages which I have already tested in lowest settings and it keeps laging. It needs a pentium 4 to run. The other games are in steam and I cant remeber his password right now to test them.

How hot does it get? and is it plugged in? and if so what is the power profile set to in the control panel?

The lags appear from the beginning of the game. The temps are fine up to 60 c and it is plugged. I have tested with balanced, high performance and advanced system care power plan in windows power settings. In nvidia control panel every game has high performance profile.

It isn't using the iGpu is it? 

 

Ive run games with the integrated thinking I was using the discrete card before, check gpu utilization with msi afterburner/Gpu-z since your only running one game to test performance
