What could I do to optimize my laptop for gaming?

[Maq___]

Hi,
I have an Asus-f555lb laptop with these specs:

i7-5500u processor
8 GB of DDR3
NVIDIA GEFORCE GT-940M video card with 2GB of GDDR3 RAM
SSD drive with 256 GB an a 1 TB HDD

and Win 10 PRO 64 bit OS

I like to play GTA V and NBA 2K17,but I get only 30-35 FPS while playing that games!
I use the Razer Cortex game booster,but it doesn't improve the performance of that games so much!

I need help with optimizing my machine with some software or some tweaks,in order to get more FPS in these games!I also don't know which are the best video settings for these two games for my machine,so I could use the maximum of my hardware to play that games with more FPS!

So please help me!
Help me to properly configure the in-game video settings,but also the video settings in the Nvidia control panel and Nvidia Inspector for the GTA V and NBA 2K17,and tell me some other advices for tweaks or software which could help me to enjoy that games with more FPS!

Thanks in advance!
Best regards!

Laptops are not the best platform to play PC games , unless it was designed for that purpose , Ex : alienware laptops..

you can try tweaking the game video settings to lower quality , and give it a try .

for best result , set all the video settings to lowest and tweak them one by one and test it out , until you get the best result for your laptop

Try to set your resolution to 720p and the game settings on low,there is not any other way to improve perfomance.
