Are you sure you are running your games on the GTX and not on the integrated GPU of the processor by accident?

I don't know (how can I check it?)

You normally have Control panels for both your integrated GPU and the dedicated GPU. On my laptop I can reach them by simply right-clicking on my desktop and I have the options for both.
You can make one of them your preferred display driver and you can as well adjust a wide array of settings for each.

You can as well open the Task Manager and go to "Performance" and check "GPU" in the list and see which of both is used to what extent.

Sorry, I have work now. After I finish I will try what you said. Also, I just watch video how to change from integrated to dedicated (I will run the same game) I will tell you if anything happens.

I don't have that option in the nvidia control panel that shows integrated and dedicated in the manage 3D settings. (Also, I go to task manager then performance (under the GPU is NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070) I think this is the normal.

Then probably your CPU is "bottle-necking" your system, although it should be quite powerful, from what I saw.

Is there anyway to fix it? If there more than one way I will try them

I honestly don't know. I would probably try a graphic benchmarking software to figure out exactly what is wrong.

Ok Ill try it later (work) sorry we have a different time zone. Also, ty for helping and sorry for late responding.

Do you have discord ?

Nope.

this is the result of graphic benchmarking software

For a dedicated gaming laptop those scores seem sub-par on 1080p. Max FPS under 30 ... really?

P.S.: I just saw the preset "Extreme HD". Is that set by you?

I know that's not normal that's why I asked you to help me

yes that was me ( is it wronge ?) do you want me to do the test again?

 

[McKeu]

So, the thing is the following, from what I gathered so far: Your GPU is fine, as it is running on 20 % load. Seeing as the GPU can easily handle 200+ FPS I am not surprised.
I would recommend you to test your CPU/GPU on two different kinds of games:

Games are not the same. You have CPU heavy games, as for example Civilization 6, etc., and you have GPU heavy games, like the Witcher 3 and stuff.
If you really want to find out, if your CPU is indeed bottlenecking your performance, check two different kinds of games, as mentioned above, and compare the results.
You should get a much higher performance on Witcher 3, for example, than in Civ 6, if your CPU indeed is bottlenecking.

Also, to get more detailed information during gameplay, you can try using Afterburner:

P.S.: In order to fix a CPU bottle neck you can do one or more of the following:

Increase RAM
Increase the resolution of a game (sounds counter-productive, but it puts more load on the GPU and takes load of the CPU, by making the GPU slower).
Lower CPU heavy graphics settings: draw distance, vegetation, population density, and others.

I get 60 fps in the witcher 3 but I don't have Civilization 6 ( so I just bought it)

You can return it on steam, if you play less than 2 hours

hahaha it's ok it's just 10$

This was a benchmark done by https://www.notebookcheck.net/ for exactly your laptop.
You can see the difference between graphic heavy and CPU heavy games. So it seems indeed that your CPU might start tanking, while your GPU is plain bored.

I have Rise of the Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite ( I will test the benchmak for this two games

Great. Be sure to close any unnecessary background apps, like browser or other things while running the test.

this is BioShock Infinite bench mark
