Underperforming fps on Dota 2 and CSGO with 1050 ti. New laptop.

[flamingkatana]

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.

Do they both have the same OS? If your comparing windows 7 to windows 10 then you need to reduce bloat. Windows 10 needs a lot of optimization.

No, they are both windows 10

Could be the old one was optimized for gaming. Look at blackvipers site also to see what services you can disable. Follow blackvipers safe desktop as a guide.

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.
