I am getting ~80 fps (highest settings) on both dota 2 and CSGO with my new laptop, which has an i7 2.8 gHz, 16 GB DDR RAM and a 4 GB 1050 Ti. This may not seem bad, but I have an older laptop with a 960M that outperforms this one on both fronts (it gets ~90 fps on dota and ~120 on CSGO). My drivers are all up to date, but nothing is changing. I need some help.

To be honest, your problem could simply be your graphical settings. I'm not sure about DotA, but in CS:GO, you can navigate to "Video Settings" and compare your setting on both devices. I don't recommend playing CS:GO on anything other than low settings if you are compromising on FPS. CS:GO needs FPS, but it doesn't need high quality graphics.

[EDIT:] In addition to this, laptop GPUs are not as powerful as desktop variants, so you may be looking at benchmarks for a more powerful card. I encourage you to disable FXAA, Motion Blur and lower settings for Textures. Make sure your Model settings are as high as you can get them.

Hope this helps.
