I have a Lenovo Y50-70, with a:
GPU: GTX 860m
CPU: i7-4710HQ
RAM: 8Gb 1600 MHz
HDD: 1Tb SSHD (WD Black)
I recently reinstalled Windows, and it wasn't exactly running at peak performance before either. However, now it seems to be running just as poorly. It is not slow, but games like Project Cars are running really badly, even at low-lowest settings, where as when I got the laptop, it was able to run medium-high settings perfectly fine.
I do not know if this matters, but I did/do use my laptop for 3D rendering in Blender. Previously, the keyboard of my laptop would heat up like crazy when I was gaming/rendering, but now, it is running really cool for some reason. I purchased a cooling pad to help counteract the heat, but it is now not necessary, but I still use it regardless. I am aware of the driver issues with the GTX 860m, but I downgraded when my games began crashing.
I did get my motherboard replaced once (something about the internal graphics failed), just in case that is important
