Hi

There is a panel under Windows to enable "High-performance NVIDIA processor" but I don't know how to do the same under GNU Linux. Actually, it disables the mechanism that tries to "optimize" the way the chip works in order to reduce the consumption.

Edit.: Some people here have the same problem. Generally, disabling the switch fixes it.

Edit.2: Does this problem come from Mesa?

Edit.3: Maybe try Bumblebee: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bumblebee
