Potato performance on a good laptop. CSGO

[Dogo]

I have an Asus R558U:
Intel i5 7200u
940MX 2GB
4GB DDR4 ram
1 TB HDD

Yet for some reason it still hangs around 40-50 while standing still, 30-35 while moving and 55-60 during buy time.

Anyone got a clue what's wrong with my laptop?
PS: Playing at 1080p, using 3kliksphilip's setting.

that is far from a "good" laptop and the 940MX is literally garbo, EVEN a gtx 860m trumps it.

Yet I can play Far Cry 4, Syndicate, Watch Dogs, etc. at a steady 30 fps on 1080p with mid settings.
Shader at low, no FXAA, vsync, motion blur gives the best performance(might be missing something).Textures, details and all that stuff doesnt effect fps at all. 3kliksphilip video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns9srRoDop8

So, upgrade ram?

As CS:GO is a 32Bit application it won't profit from more RAM. It can use 2GB RAM, 4GB with the LAA flag at best.
That it runs better on his laptop is not surprising, considering the Source engine is heavily CPU dependent. Better CPU means better performance in Source engine games.
Although, i'd recommend a RAM upgrade it wouldn't make the game run faster, but the whole system run smoother.

8GB would be the sweet spot for your laptop.

You canont compare games like that, when it comes to performance on your hardware. The system requirements are the system requirements, listed on each store page for that game. Go by them, please. They are there to help you.

If that is an Nvidia GPU you generally want it to begin with GTX or have the last 2 digits end with at least 50 for gaming (950, 1050). Your CPU also has less MHz than my old i5 650 desktop CPU, although it uses a fraction of the power and memory speed is allegedly faster. And internal code may be improved, so you cannot necessarily judge by frequencies only.

For reference a laptop with i7 4700MQ and GTX 765M was just about equivalent to my old i5 650 with GTX 750 Ti (which maybe should have been called GTX 850 Ti, since it was a Maxwell chip that was newer and more efficient than any of the other 7XX series (750 was introduced along with with GTX 970 & 980). But I guess the 8XX series were laptops only.

I am currently running a GTX 1060 @ 1080p (in Linux) on my desktop PC.
