    Make sure you are using the Nvidia GPU, that it has the latest drivers and your games are selected in the GPU and set on High Performance

    When I open apps or chrome and load sites, it gets a freeze for like .05-5secs. Soo laggy

    As others have suggested, open the Nvidia Control Panel and check that games set to be using the 1650 and not the integrated Intel GPU first to rule that out.

    That being said, my guess is that you may be experiencing some sort of CPU throttling due to excessive heat. Open NitroSense and leave it running while you play Dota. Once you get the studdering, tab out and look at the highest recent temperatures. 

    Can you report on what you find when checking these two items? 

    I can help you resolve the latter issue if necessary.
