When I use my laptop connected to my second monitor (ASUS TUF VG279QM), my fps in every game drop to 30fps~, even when I am in the menu with 1280x1024 my fps is only 24-30 (CSGO). When I use laptop's monitor I have no issues with fps. This doesn't happen on my main laptop, only on my second laptop, I have searched for a fix and nothing works.
 
if this system has a dedicated graphics card
you may have BIOS or other control software set to only use iGPU when connected to external display.

many give the option to choose which.
if this is the issue you'd just need to determine where this decision can be located;
in BIOS or other manufacturer software.
