my laptop runs every game at low fps (below 30) even at low resolution, such as saints row3/4 batman origins, assassins creed black flag, NFS rivals, Grid1/2 and much more. so what the problem could be?and yes i have my graphic card updated.
Here is some information that may help:

i7-2670 2.20GHz
4GB Ram
Radeon (TM) HD 7690M XT
total available graphics memory: 4325 MB
dedicated video memory: 2560 MB
windows 7 64-bit

renamed 6770M why would they release a graphic card have the same performance as an older one?

They do it all the time. Both brand new lines of cards from Nvidia and AMD are renamed other than one or two cards. The GTX 770 is a 680, the 760 is a 670, the 780 is a Titan without the compute performance. On AMD's side the R9 280x is a 7970, the R9 270 and 270x are the 7850 and 7870, etc. It means the graphics company can shuffle all their previous cards down a tier, charge less, get another year out of them, and only really have to produce one or two new cards. They do it generation after generation, and it keeps prices down while still moving things forward. If they had to produce an entire line up of cards each time, the prices for us would be through the roof.

i have seen some threads yesterday, i downloaded HWMonitor to see my cpu's temperatures it was like 80+ while idle,also i downloaded GPU-Z my GPU load was 90+ while idle so i downloaded norton power erase,run a scan and restated my laptop,it slightly increased my fps.skyrim is 40-50fps now on ultra (it is the most game that fps increased on it) every other game have like 5-10 more fps

Wow Celsius? That's hot for load temps, let alone idle :-/ What are your idle temps now? And have you done full virus and malware scans? Malwarebytes is great for malware, and I use Avast Free for AV. Also make sure your vents on that laptop are clean and you are getting decent airflow.

yes Celsius. now CPU's temperature is 50-60 and GPU load is 0-5, no i have not done a virus as my norton free trail ended a while ago, i will download Avast and run a full scan, about my vents i have not cleaned them since i bought the laptop 2-3 years ago.

also i think it may be overheating problem as sometimes games shutdown while playing or the whole laptop freezes at loading screens or cutscenes that i have to force shutdown it
 
Here's the biggest problem that I can see - You're trying to run high-end games on a laptop. The Core i7 doesn't help you with gaming and I'll explain the ATi Radeon numbering system for you:

1st Digit - Generation
2nd Digit - Purpose Designation (9-Flagship, 8-Enthusiast, 7-High-end, 6-Mid-level gaming, 5-Low-end gaming, 4-No gaming)
3rd Digit - Position in current designation family
4th Digit - 0, means nothing
Suffix M - Mobile, performance significantly degraded in favour of power efficiency

So, you have a weak mobile card that is designated for mid-range mobile gaming and you're trying to play games that would be considered high-end or enthusiast-level games even on desktops. Because this is a laptop, there's no way to rectify the situation except to possibly try playing these games on the lowest graphics settings possible or at least, if you're using the highest settings, lower them to medium. As for Rome: Total War, I doubt that this game was EVER intended for laptop play as its CPU requirements are tremendous because of all the movement of the enemy units. Another issue is that laptop cooling is far inferior to desktop cooling simply due to the laws of physics and thermodynamics. Once they get hot, it takes a good long time for them to cool down. You might consider getting a laptop cooling pad.

ok.thx for replay,but what causes laptop to freeze at cutscenes and sometimes i can't skip them because the game is still loading, not only in high-end games, in every game that i almost played
