    Seems you have a dual-graphics system. You have a Nvidia 660M and a Intel graphics chip. The graphics chips drivers are very old and could do with an update. Not sure about the Nvidia one cause that doesn't show in your DxDiag.

    Check if your graphic card is properly recognized by the game:

    Make sure it's not running on the Intel while you play the game.
