Can't Switch to Nvidia

[dedmiston11]

Hello,
I have the MSI GT60 Dominator-424 with the Nvidia Geforce 870m. Today I was playing The Stomping Land with around 40 fps and then changed to Arma 2 OA but only had 15 fps max. Usually I would be getting around 35-45 fps for Arma 2 OA and the DayZ Mod. I'm guessing that the Intel HD Graphics are being used for this low of frames unless the nvidia graphics card is broken. Can anyone help me figure out why the drop happens and how to fix it.
p.s. i went into the nvidia control panel and switched arma 2 oa to the nvidia graphics card but no change happened.

The Stomping Land runs as expected of the graphics card? Try to right click arma 2 oa shortcut or exe and choose Run with graphics processor, then choose high performance NVIDIA processor

Arma 2 OA now runs at 40 fps, but when i try to play the DayZ Mod through DayZ Commander, its still at 10 fps. Should DayZ Commander be opened with Nvidia graphics card?

Yeah you can try that
