Have you set your laptop to force programs to use the high performance GPU?

um.. im kinda new to computers. but when i put the graphics backend onto direct3d, it gave me the option of using the graphics card, which i chose

Don't think it matters, but I would say leave it alone, which does it say right now?

There is a link in my previous post that shows you how to set programs to use the NVIDIA GPU. You should also select the "GeForce GTX 850M" in the graphics options when you use Direct3D.
