Setting the graphics quality to AUTO in the settings as well as the following will help with performance:

  1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, under 3D Settings click on Adjust image settings with preview and then move the slider in the main windows all the way over to Performance and click Apply.
  2. Click on Manage 3D Settings, scroll down to Power management mode and choose Prefer Maximum Performance.
  3. Under Texture filtering Quality, choose High Performance.
  4. Click Apply and try playing again.

Let us know how you get on with these settings, thanks.
