Just got a Lenovo legion y720 with a gtx 1060 6gb which just started running overwatch at 8 fps at high settings. I have everything updated all drivers and have reset game settings. Please help.
Thanks

No way. Do not uninstall the Intel HD graphics as that GPU is required by Windows.
Your laptop has "switchable graphics" so no need to uninstall anything.

You need to configure the Nvidia Control Panel so that your laptop automatically switches to the GTX 1060 whenever you launch Overwatch. It will switch back to the Intel HD GPU when you close the game.

Do the same with other games after you've installed them.
