How to make games in low resolutions scale to full-screen on Nvidia GT 640M? - Free stock photo of adult, apartment, at home

I have a laptop with a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 640M LE graphics card (together with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000). My display has native resolution of 1920x1080. Unfortunately, when I try to play games with smaller resolution (e.g. 1280x768, etc. — older games, or very demanding new games), they show in a small "window" in the middle of the screen, with huge black frame around, wasting most of my display area :( I've seen on other computers (including really old ones) that usually such games "scale" to fill the full screen (making the pixels "bigger" and more visible). I've tried to find out how to change this, but with no success. Is it possible to fix/change this, and if yes then how?
