There aren't any viable ones at the moment, you could try creating your own:

I have this same laptop OP. Your problem is that it's defaulting to the Intel GPU. Go to Device Manager and set your GTX 960M as the default. MSI was retarded when they didn't put in a switch.

Whoops, sorry anon, I forgot you can do this from Nvidia control panel as well.

Just select your dedicated GPU and it will default to that.

Ok so I only had to use the control panel, thanks. Beats roaming device manager hopelessly.
