Asus rog G750JW gaming performance

[Jimbojim]

Good morning,

I recently received a new laptop as a gift for school/gaming time. Its the Asus ROG G750JW and the specs are :

CPU= i7-4700HQ at 2.4ghz (max turbo at 3.4)
GPU= GTX 765M
RAM= 16GB
SSD= N/A
Resolution= 1920x1080

I have installed some games off my steam account that I have been playing on my main desktop pc and I have been playing with the settings of Batman: Arkham Asylum and RAGE.

I have seen videos on youtube of people running the same games on the same laptop(or similar specs) on very high settings with very good framerates but for some reason I can't get the same performance at all. While I'm fully aware that a laptop GPU is gonna have a hard time running recent games at high settings but I would expect to be able to run a few years old games at a decent settings.

I always make sure my power plan is on high performance when I game. Do you guys have any ideas to help me improve my gaming performance? (i.e. deleting programs, are game-boosters really effective?, etc) or are the people on youtube posting fake videos?

Thanks in advance ladies and gentlemen.

P.S. my gpu driver is up to date.

Make the BIOS and all the laptop drivers are up to date, check the Asus website, check in startup and see if anything can be removed (prob has a lot of bloatware preloaded that takes up DRAM), when playing ensure other apps are closed
