    I tried playing a game with lower graphics requirement, Fifa 12.
    It works perfectly, smoothly & fast on the MSI laptop which has slower RAM & 1 GB 555m. But on my M14x it's laggy & slow even when I change the graphics card to GeForce 555m (3GB).

    Any help?? :(

    ps. My laptop Spec are given below on my signature.

    Do you have your laptop plugged in?

    When it is not plugged in, the graphics card is automatically downclocked.

    Also check if your gaming is using the 555m or integrated graphics. If it's using the integrated one try whitelisting the game

    Follow this link to learn how to whitelist any game or program: Guide: How to Whitelist games on an Optimus Machine.

    And btw, there is a button at the bottom right of each of your post called EDIT, and it is exist for a reason, so only post a new post unless your thread has no reply to bump it.
