I have a nvidia geforce 840m and it runs 30fps or lower .But my intel hd 5500 is running minecraft 80+fps
so i was wondering what was going wrong and how i could make the nvidia card perform better

From the limited knowledge i have, i don't think you could "make the [graphics card] better" it's a physical thing, unlike a driver/program/etc. you could always try overclocking but read up on it first, as it may damage your computer if you're reckless with it. overheating is not good. i would just use the intel card if it ran better, but if for some reason you want to use the nvidia brand, than i'd just buy i newer version, if i could.

There's no way to make a card "perform better" on a laptop. Desktops, you can overclock it to bump the performance up at the expense of more heat, power and reduces the lifetime of the card. Laptops? Most mobile cards are locked, and even if you unlock them, you won't be able to bump it up much due to the restriction placed on power and the less-than-ideal cooling system most laptops have. The only way to make it perform better is to reduce quality settings.
Either way, I have an 840M myself and get 100+ FPS on vanilla 1.8.7 (proof, albeit on default window size with default settings). Even a modded version of 1.7.10 with 200+ mods gets anywhere between 40 and 60 FPS full-screened. What settings are you using in-game, what's your screen's resolution and are you running the game full-screened, is it modded and how many mods?

What are your settings ? i have a 1080p montior but i also added voltage to cpu to bump it up a bit and my 840m is oc to 1200mhz

also you can try other lag decreasing things like adding ram to minecraft or shutting other programs down.
Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess, unite earth and sky, and bring light to the land.
Oh youth, show the two whirling sails the way to the light tower... and before you a path shall open, and a heavenly song you shall hear.

I haven't overclocked anything, rather not take the risk.
