NEED help with Laptop GPU

[MrGoose0]

Hi. I recently bought a new laptop since the previous one I owned kinda broke. I got this ASUS E5-573G-51QW because of the GeForce 940M (4GB). So now that I have it I was looking forward to playing some casual games like CS:GO and this is where the problem is... I can run GRID 2 on High settings no problem but CS:GO can barely run on 20fps on lowest settings. I've updated the drivers to newest, I have tried the default drivers, I have tried disabling Intel HD graphics. NOTHING WORKS! I feel that CS:GO is using Intel HD graphics because I can't even launch the game if I disable the Intel HD Graphics  and I don't even have the option in my BIOS to change primary GPU.... and wtf would that change because I think GRID 2 is using the 940M when I play it..?!?!!? IM SO CONFUSED!

 

I tried GPU-Z .... when I tried playing CS:GO it shoved that the 940M is working properly like it was used to run the game... but that was not what was actually happening! my card should be able to run CS:GO on atleast 60FPS without problem on the FullHD display the laptop has!

 

The laptop I had before was like 3years old and it ran CS:GO on max settings with like 60+ fps

it was a Toshiba Satelite L850-1P2 it had a i5 CPU aswell (an older one) and AMD Radeon 6700 (series) GPU

 

The Specs: (ASUS E5-573G-51QW)

CPU --> i5-5200U

GPU --> 940M (4GB)

RAM --> 8GB DDR3 (originally 4GB but I put another 4 in)

disable intel hd graphics in device manager 

i can not find anything on your laptop specs so im guessing you are having a igpu and gpu conflict on when to use what. disable intel, keep 940

in device manager what does it show under display? does it show 2 devices like one is intel hd and one geforce?

if you are using optimus go in control panel and set  it to use high performance processor under global settings
