May seem like a necro but I want to share my finding.
I had lag in the game (FPS drop to 40s from 60) and only lowering the resolution to 1366x768 solved the FPS drop.
But of course the quality of that is questionable.
So I read around and found one post suggesting to use integrated graphics for the game instead of NVidia.
I went to do that, only to find when I tried to create a custom profile for the game in Nvidia 3D settings it would write Recommended (Integrated). So it was probably always using integrated graphics with the game (I don't know why).
So I created that profile with choosing Nvidia Card instead of the Integrated. All other options are left at default values.
I went back to the game and now on 1920x1080, it runs on 60 FPS. So I solved my problem this way.
Maybe helps someone out there, too.
Note: If you see an Access Denied error while trying to create a custom profile, go to C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\Drs and empty this folder. Reopen the driver GUI and it should work when you try to create profile. It worked for me without restarting the computer after emptying that folder. If it still does not work for you, try restarting the computer after emptying that folder. ( some posts suggest it as a solution)
