    It sounds like your games and programs are not running on the Nvidia GPU. You have to correctly set up tour Nvidia Control Center 
     You have to go to your Nvidia control panel and select games to run on High Performance
    Click the Global Settings tab and under Preferred Graphics Processor tab select the Nvidia GPU. Under the Program Settings tab select each game or program to run on the Nvidia GPU

    The processor will only reach max frequency when under stress using the Nvidia GPU. Configure the Nvidia Control panel as outlined above

    Hi Endri, i experienced the same with my Nitro 5, untill i learn from andylb and tried to change my setting.

    Selecting nvidia in set PhysX configuration have made my autocad speed runs faster now.

    Thanks andylb for your input
