Laptop performs poorly when playing?

I got a laptop for the university with which I can occasionally play when I feel like it. (csgo, WOW, Company of Heroes).

My specs are.

Win 10 Pro
Intel i7 8565-U
32GB RAM
512GB SSD
Nvidia GeForce MX 130 2GB

Although it is not a gamer laptop, I should still be able to play the above games smoothly at medium settings. At least I think so, because the recommended system requirements, for example from Wow, are still far below what my laptop can do.

I'm currently playing csgo on low settings with 50-60 fps. Sometimes I get 90-100, sometimes it drops to 40.

At Company of Heroes it is the same even though the game is from 2006 and I should be able to play it on my calculator.

Does anyone know why?

You have pretty misconceptions about how games should run.

Old does not automatically mean that new hardware can play well. Quite often the opposite, since many old games weren't programmed well. Today's games from Ubisoft are e.g. So well optimized that despite the high graphics and 5 year old GPUs they still run smoothly. Gears 5 runs on my GPU (GTX 970) in 60fps.

The GPU in your computer is a low-end GPU from 2017. You simply can't expect miracles there. The values you have are good enough for the GPU.

By the way: No, such games should NOT run on your calculator. A calculator has a pretty weak processor inside and that's it.

I think the graphics card is your problem…

The calculator was of course not meant seriously. I know my GPU is not high end. The Intel UHD 620 in my old laptop performed almost exactly the same. I just thought the MX130 could do a little more.
