I've bought a laptop 6 months ago and everything went relatively well until two days ago when I started playing Rise of the Tomb Raider. The game runs at 30 fps at best on low settings and 1080p and that shouln't be the case. Other games started acting up as well. Do you know what could be causing this?

i7-7700HQ 2.8Ghz
GTX 1050 4GB
8GB RAM@2133MHz
Win10 64bit
Already tried
High Performance power plan is active
Playing with High-performance Nvidia processor
Clean reinstalled GeForce drivers and GeForce experience
Even tried playing with the optimal settings on GFE and had 25 fps

Tried every preset settings in the game and except Very High (which averages around 20 fps ), all the others, including Low, average at no more than 30 fps (no, i don't have my fps locked)

not even on the lowest possible settings ? keep in mind that my fps difference between low and high is close to none... it's like i didn't even change the graphic settings (average 25 fps on both of them)

You cant expect more from that laptop on triple A games.
