I just had a look and it says that is running my graphics card as default. and double checked it is running on the graphics card with the nvidia activity. but is still stuttering like crazy

How much RAM have you dedicated to Minecraft? On my old laptop with 8GB RAM, I told Minecraft to always use 4GB. It may be defaulting to 1GB or less, and Minecraft without enough RAM is very laggy and could even crash due to running out of memory.
