Hi,
I recently bought a new gaming laptop which has the nvidia optimus driver.
At first, i spent days trying to figure out what my fps was extremely low on AC. I figured out that AC would use the integrated graphics card, rather than my nvidia gtx 970m. Apparently, this is because AC is such a low end game, and does not need the nvidia graphics card to run AC.
In order to fix the problem, go to your graphics settings, and crank up the details to "Insane". I am pretty sure you fps will boost up, because then your AC will run on your graphics card. This worked for me, you can try it.
To check what program utilized your nvidia gpu: There is a tray icon you can enable in the Nvidia Control Panel that shows when a application is using your discrete GPU. In the Nvidia CP, goto Desktop -> Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area.
Cheers,
Mise
