Update Windows and then try, Windows 8.1 still has few compatibility issues, so try playing the games in compatibilty mode (Right Click on .exe file -->Properties -->Compatibilty Tab).
And get the latest Drivers for your Video card. And since your running Dual graphics , try setting it up properly in the Catalyst suite for AMD graphics. Hope it helps.

Try Updating the graphics from the AMD website, and while you are at it, try playing the games by removing your laptop battery and playing from the mains.It may be that your fps drop is due to some setting trying to save power.

Did you try playing by removing your battery?

Yes I tried it....

Ok, do this.
Remove all your graphics driver from device manager, reboot your system and reinstall the drivers.
Oh btw, what temps does your laptop reach while playing. And is the lag you have making the game unplayable.
Since your games run but lag, the only cause would be a bad driver from when you installed Windows 8.1. Try a clean install of it and run again. If you do not wish to do, call up Microsoft, some people have issues with mouse lag in windows 8.1, but I personally use it and haven't encountered any problems.

Yeah thanks dude I did get some fps improvements.My temps are 60-80 C while heavy gaming.I found the solution it was my Wi-Fi drivers which was the cause for the problems.HP don't have the correct drivers for it.So I went to the windows update and updated the drivers from it.Now no lag issues getting around 40-60 fps in it

THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING ME WITH THE ISSUES

Nice to know you solved your problem. Get a cooling pad for while gaming, it should help in reducing lag as well.

 

[Prajwal Gopal]

Yeah I already have it
