Not sure if Dedicated GPU is broken or not.

Hi there!

All of a sudden I've had massive FPS drops in all of my games (Archeage, Guild wars 2, League of Legends). I'm on a laptop with an integrated graphics card and a nvidia dedicated graphics card. I've tried using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to uninstall both my Intel and Nvidia drivers in safe mode, and reinstall them after a restart. I've messed around with the control panel. I've changed power management to maximum performance, lowered some settings and set my Dedicated GPU To run my games.

I have the feeling my dedicated GPU is broken or breaking.

I7 Intel processor 4700MQ @ 2.40 GHZ
Nvidia 765m
Windows 8.1
12 gb RAM (11.1 useable)

Solution - Sager laptops come with a VGA Switch, and I never really knew what it did. I must have accidently pressed it. When it glows orange it's in normal mode and you can switch between gpu's. When it's green it's forced to use integrated graphics card.

I tried disabling my integrated graphics card from the Bios, but I couldn't find the option to. I wanted to force the dedicated GPU to work as the primary GPU.
