FPS lags with new acer aspire 5755G
The title is kind of self explanatory, as my new laptop lags and has FPS drops. For example my FPS in Starcraft 2 hovers around 20 and constantly drops to 1 with low settings when I know it should run smoothly in high settings. I've updated my Nvidia driver, and set the preferred global settings to the 'High-performance Nvidia processor'. Here are some screen shots.

I'm not sure how to fix this problem, any feed back would be nice!

Laptops are prone to overheating. Try installing the CPUID HWMonitor and play the game while it's running. Then take a look at the max temperature (right column) of your GPU.

Something makes me wonder if your switchable graphics is working properly. Typically this is handled by the Nvidia drivers but I have come across a few models (Sony and an Acer) that have a hardware switch. Have you looked into that issue? dxdiag is only showing the Intel HD graphics core on your i5...

Wow, thanks for quick the replies guys! I downloaded and checked with CPUID & GPUShark when my game is running, but I'm not sure what exactly I'm suppose to be looking for. Also I'm not too sure why dxdiag displays my Intel HD and not my NVIDIA, it is kind of the same with device manager. It doesn't say I've updated my driver either.

dxdiagshows your Intel HD because you randxdiagusing your Intel HD. As you already removed the pictures I guess you solved the problem? In that case consider marking one of the answers as the accepted answer if it did help.

You can get some really valuable information out of your card(s) with GPUShark. For example the power level. If it's not on Power level 0 when you play, you should check out this little app:
http://somemorebytes.com/wp/index.php/software/nvpmmanager/
It lets you adjust the power management settings for your nVidia card. (My card would never run on power level 0 before this application.)

Also check to make sure your CPU isnt throttling due to heat.
You can download throttlestop to force your cpu to keep up the turbo just watch the heat.
Also make sure the laptop is plugged in while gaming.
