games run on very low fps even my laptop meets all the requirements

PC SPECS:
Intel 7th Generation Core i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70 GHz 2.90 GHz
16 GB DDR4 RAM
2 TB HDD
4GB Dedicated Nvidia GeForce 940MX Graphics Card
Windows 10 x64
 


i dont know there are two maybe...
 


well i dont know what thermal paste is.
but gpu drivers are up to date
 
You would need to verify the laptop is overheating, and if so, that would be something for warranty to take care of at this point.

Likely your application is failing to utilize the discrete GPU. You may need to configure each application in the Nvidia control panel. Optimus was the old name of the tool for automatic switching between the Intel graphics and an Nvidia GPU.

The 940MX is Nvidia's entry level GPU, it really isn't that quick.
 
The problem here probably lies with your graphics card. The GeForce 940MX is indeed an entry level card. Double-check the GPU requirement of your games. You might still be able to play your games by reducing the resolution and detail levels.

Sure it's a "900" series card, but the "40" part is a low number, the M is for a low-energy mobile card and it's not a "GTX" gaming card.
 


i agree that it is an entry level card but earlier when i updated directx i played assasins creed syndicate on ultra and it ran smoothly but when i ran it later it started lagging so i updated gpu drivers and tried again but the problem continued
