    I turned all batteries to performance.
    Have GPU Activity Notification and it says NONE
    I tried running games with graphics settings to performance.
    I tried setting global settings in Nvidia Control Panel to performance and also giving certain games high performance settings.
    Seem to not be using nvdia card...
    The GPU Clock is always at 135MhZ on GPU meter for docks...
    either that is wrong or laptop not using the better graphics card.
    I am currently playing TERA and everything on low i would get around 40-45 fps... but ON LOW!!!!
