Why do I have so little FPS (notebook)?

I know that notebooks are generally not suitable for gambling. It was not intended at the beginning either. Now I've watched some videos on YouTube that people are playing with my specs. I have exactly, if not better, hardware and yet my games run MUCH worse than in the videos. I have no idea what it is. My drivers are up-to-date, Graka is selected and yet the games are running as if you were playing them on a 10 year old calculator. Did I maybe adjust something, or forget?

My specs

GPU: Geforce 940mx

CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-7500 CPU @ 2.70 GHz

8gb ram

Well, it's almost 10 years old, at least the technology.

Call, seriously. Maybe your hardware is not running at full capacity?!

Install the MSI Afterburner and watch the clock rates in the games.

And do the others have a notebook as well?

bi

Okay, what's good or bad? I do not know

bi

And clearly the technology is older. But that does not change the fact that some can gamble perfectly with it

br

Well, what's good or bad? That's relative… If you say the others have the same notebook specifications and almost twice the FPS then yes you're wrong.

br

That's why you should have your clock rates with MSI… Watch.

br

Please call a game what you play and what you have on FPS and what others have with the same notebook specifications on FPS.

As an example, let's take Hitman from 2016. I have the same settings as in the video for the 17 FPS. Others have 40 and can play it smoothly

br

Hitman 2?

br

According to the specification for Hitman 2, your notebook does not even get 20FPS at the lowest setting.

Do you know old and new videos? Games also get older with getting their updates need higher requirements, etc. Because it may already be that you have a massive loss of FPS wernn Windows reininstall has nixfluid or update graphics driver. Plus, your laptop is not that special and it's almost among the weakest laptops the 940mx is more than just a cheeky gpu

bi

Where did you read that?

br

Ohh Sorry, not Hitman 2 but

Hitman GO: Definitive edition do you mean?! That's the only one from 2016.

br

But in case you think Hitman or Hitman 2, neither one nor the other will make your notebook.

Hitman = unplayable

Hitman 2 = unplayable

Hitman 2 with a better GTX 950m mobile = under 20fps

Mhh. That wonders me

br

What are you wondering? Maybe you have a video link where you have looked at what others do with the same system

The cooling is to blame. This is always grotesque for notebooks. The components heat up very quickly and then clock down = the power drops rapidly.
A dual core and a 940MX are really not the best components.

bi

Would possibly bring a cooling pad something?

br

Puuhhh. I do not think much about it. I do not want to find the hair in the soup BUT the video shows neither FPS numbers nor CPU nor GPU were used. Also, nothing is of the attitude that has been chosen. It's just what he means underneath what he has used.

Neither the system requirement nor the performance you achieve indicates that it is actually the system he is indicating.

So if all this fits, I have no advice for you. Sorry

Ra

Yes, but I would not expect miracles

bi

Okay, but it could already lead to an increase in performance, if only in the small area?

Ra

Yes
