Optimization for my "Old-ish" Origin Gaming Laptop

I've been having issues lately with low fps while gaming as well as seemingly slow run speeds and a myriad of other small issues related to poor performance. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to improve my systems efficiency and any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just downloaded MSI Afterburner and a GPU benchmark software called "Heaven Benchmark" and it seems that my graphics cards may be running slightly hot? The benchmark software runs at around 25-40 fps I'm getting constant temps of ~85C (they were running hotter but I limited their max temp via Afterburner). I feel like my setup should allow for much higher frame rate unless I'm sorely mistaken.

My build list is as follows:

Intel Core i7-4910MQ @ 2.90GHz
Two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860Ms in SLI
2x 8GB DDR3 RAM (16GB Total)
Crucial 120GB SSD
Western Digital 2TB HDD

I'm getting about 20-40fps on Rocket League for some strange reason even on the lowest settings. Other games cause issues as well but that is the only one I'm comfortable mentioning as I don't want to list inaccurate numbers.

A few things to try...
-Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date and SLI is enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel.
-Turn on "High Performance" in Power Options.
-Disable any program that could be running in the background that doesn't need to be on.
-Monitor VRAM usage, if your exceeding it then you'll run into performance drops.

As far as temps those seem fine considering it's a laptop.
