I ran into a problem a while ago in which Minecraft wouldn't run Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders Mod. It would just crash. I knew this must be a mistake somewhere because I have a Geforce GTX 860M and a i7-4700HQ I eventually found a fix somewhere, but I don't remember where I found it, and I wanted to share it on the forums de Minecraft. My computer not only runs the ultra shaders, but without them it now is about 160+ FPS where it was only 45 FPS prior. I usually get around 180 FPS stable(ish).
So what the problem ended up being was that Nvidia has drivers in which saves battery power by using applications that aren't recognized as games with the integrated graphics on the processor. But that won't do when you have a graphics card not being utilized on certain games.
The Fix: Right Click on your desktop > select NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Global Settings Tab > Under High Performance Processor; change from Auto-Select to High-Performance NVIDIA Processor > Under Power Management Mode in the options box; change from Adaptive to Prefer Higher Performance.
If you want to instead only change the settings for only Minecraft and not anything else what you need to do is instead of changing those settings under Global Settings Tab go to Program Settings. What you have to do is make sure you add Java to the list, as well as Minecraft, and for both of those applications change the settings from Auto-Select to High-Performance, and from Adaptive to Prefer Higher Performance.
I hope this helps at least someone out there! Have fun and good luck!
