Massive drop in performance for me

Hey Devs/ everyone,

I started up Subnautica on my pc today hoping to get a cyclops in the water--
I usually (before the cyclops was released) got maybe 40-50 or so fps on recommended 1920x1080
I'm not sure if this is known, but I'm not getting (at the same settings) around 5 fps
Is this just my pc? I'm on a laptop as I"m not at home here are the specs:

870m Nvidia Card
4810QM i7 @ 2.8GHZ
8GB RAM
Windows 8,

I'm not sure what's going on... any help would be appreciated.
I've tried lowering the settings to 1690x900 and minimum, but that really only made it so that it bounces between 10-20 fps, making the game really hard to focus on because of the constant drops
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks


EDIT:
Well... Nvidia decided it would be a good idea to use the integrated graphics
I'm a moron :)
Sorry folks

    funnily enough I still have a massive drop during nighttime but that's really more optimization I think... It happens to a lot of peoplel
    just glad I could fix it properly

    Disable the integrated from bios so you don't have to worry about it turning on.

    I'd rather not do that just because of how poor the laptop's heat dissipation system works


    As for the output log, I couldn't really find anything terribly bad in it, but I"m definitely not the expert so:
