Graphics card drops frames when coming from idle state

I recently got a new computer. Upon hooking a 4K monitor to it, the screen occasionally lags. What I've noticed, though, is that it only lags directly after the screen image hasn't changed at all for a short period of time. For instance, if the screen is stagnant, and I move my cursor, it lags for a second, catches up, and then runs smoothly again until I stop moving the cursor. Thus, if I put something animated on the screen, it works completely fine, no lag at all.
I then noticed if I opened another window and covered the animation with it, or dragged the animation window off the screen, it still ran smoothly. But as soon as I minimized the window with the animation, closed it, or shrunk it to hide the animation, it would suddenly start lagging again, which leads me to believe it's a graphics card setting.
Does anyone know how to disable this 'eco' setting?
Here are the specs:
- Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
- Screen: 4K Sceptre U27 LED Monitor
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 730
- Motherboard: msi H81M ECO

Make sure your video cable is plugged into your Graphics Card and not into your motherboard.
Update your Drivers
If that doesn't work, try Disabling On-Board Graphics in your bios.
Turning of Link State Power Management in advanced power settings under PCI Express might help.

Thanks for the feedback! It is plugged directly into the GPU HDMI port, and all drivers appear up-to-date. I looked in Device Manager > Display Adapters, and I'm only seeing the NVIDIA driver. I also couldn't find an option in the BIOS to disable on-board graphics, and the 'Initiate Graphic Adapter' was already set to PEG and not IGD, which I presume means it's using my NVIDIA card? I added my mobo specs above too, in case it helps.

Go to Control PanelHardware and SoundPower Options, Under "Hide Additional plans" select High Performance.
