I have a potato PC but can't run this.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad P50. Its pretty decent with its 32 GB of ram and intel i7 core processor, but its Quadro M1000M can't handle anything. Older games like Titanfall 2, despite how beautiful they look, often run at a smooth 144 despite the lack of a proper GPU. I got this game because I wanted a fast paced boomer shooter but knew that my laptop wouldn't be able to run any of them, so I got Turbo Overkill since its low-poly retro style made me think it'd run well. Hrot runs like warm butter on a nano-fibre knife, but this barely crosses 50 FPS and constantly falls under 30 fps.
I have all the graphics settings at their minimum. I've tried it with and without post-processing of any kind.

Any advice on how to make this game run... at all?
I've suffered through the campaign because I enjoyed the environment and gameplay at its core but playing it for fun is still a challenge because of the lag.

Update: Changing my graphics processor from my GPU to my CPU in Nvidia Control panel improved performance

1. The "low poly" part really doesn't automatically mean a game can run on a potato PC. There are so many variables in play, including different game engines, optimization etc. There are mods for Doom, a game from 94' that need a proper gaming PC to run because of the amount of stuff those mods have packed into them.

Your Quadro M1000M is from 2015 so I'm not sure what did you expect... 4GB graphics card is a bare minimum for this game, yours has 2GB.
30-50fps is pretty much maximum of what you could expect from your hardware on low settings.

2. Turbo Overkill has a demo. Why didn't you try it out before buying the game to see how it runs? Checking out the games performance on your PC is one of the reasons demos exist.

Actually, I did try the demo.
My pc ran it even worse but I wanted to try the full game nonetheless.
The first 3 levels had god tier frame rates compared to the demo. I thought the same upshot of performance would apply.

Also, GPUs, by definition handle graphical function, not processing at its core. My computer can run Titanfall, a game that has far more model detail and quantity than TO. I expect this to be a result of newer graphical "improvements" such as the usage of TAA.
