Hi guys I bought a new Asus laptop the config is i3 6006u 4gb ddr4 raam and a GeForce 920m GPU I tried call of duty world war 2 and GTA 5 it lags.My system config is way better than The minimum system requirements of GTA 5.I tried reducing the graphics details , reducing the resolution, even tried to play it in Windowed mode the lag won't subside.The graphics is rendered beautifully but there are lags..What might be the problem..could it be a driver issue or any other..Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing a number of issues. Laptop, check. 4GB of RAM, check. Not overly powerful mobile graphics card, check. I suspect the lack of RAM is the biggest thing that's hurting you. What's likely happening is because you have too little RAM, the system is utilizing the page file on your hard drive, which runs magnitudes slower than your RAM and will cause the games to stutter as it tries to read things off the HDD instead of your RAM. You'll want a minimum of 8GB of RAM, 16GB is preferred nowadays.
