I recently bought Assassin creed syndicate and played it.The first two missions run smooth as butter but after that in sequence 3,its lagging so much.I dont understand it.I checked in the task manager and the cpu usage was between 13-50 and sometimes it goes to 70-100 ingame.Please help.
Specs
i5 4210u 1.7-2.7ghz
Nvidia geforce 840m 4gb
4gb ram
 
Nope. That is the magic (bad vodoo magic ) of Nvidia Optimus. It balances the power of both graphic cards to increase battery life and performance. Google it and see for yourself.
The integrated card is not disabled in my laptop. I run older games on it to save power.

Note: You can see this video. But I don't have a tv with a hdmi port nor in the game it shows which graphic card it is using.
