    Sounds like your gpu is staying at idle clockspeeds, it should ramp up to 3d clockspeeds when watching HD videos. Are you using anything like nvidia inspector to force idle clocks?

    Do you have Aero enabled, or are you using Aero Basic or the Classic theme? If it's disabled, try enable it.

    This issue you're having with stuttering videos can be caused by various things. Even when the videos are using the built-in (Intel) gpu, it shouldn't really skip. It is powerful enough to play pretty much any HD content. What is your source for these videos that are giving you an issue? Downloaded, bluray, DVD, YouTube? Where are you getting them from?

    Probably a driver issues, could be codec related too.

    If you changed drivers, change them back.

    If you want to try something that may fix your problem (and give you a better media player) install CCCP - CCCP - Combined Community Codec Pack

    We'll YouTube will not usually utilize the nvidia gpu because the browser you're using will be set to the Intel by default. Is the power light white or orange when you switch to full screen? Also go to msi's site and download the Intel video drivers. Install those, reboot, and see if it makes a difference.

    EDIT: Disregard. I thought you had an optimus laptop. My bad. Your laptop is the 780????

    Go to the nvidia site and download the latest driver and perform a CLEAN installation. Have you tried this?

    Yeah but did you perform a clean installation? And is it possible that your network is causing this? Why assume the video card? Have you played any games on this laptop?

    Also, try a different internet browser if possible. Like Firefox or chrome.

    Try updating your flash player then. If games are fine, the card is most likely not the cause.

    Well the physyx is for the nvidia card. I'm assuming that is just pop up notifying you that the game using that feature? How old is this laptop? Have you defragmented yet?
