PLEASE HELP, MY GTX 970M FRAME RATE SUCKS!!

[10Gunz]

hi guys, im really really cheesed with my computer right now. I have a MSI GS70 stealth pro 2QE. ever since I got the computer ive felt like it hasn't been able to carry its weight in terms of gaming and good FPS. when playing league of legends I get max 60FPS on the highest settings. Ive noticed when I get into team fights, the fps drops to around 40. I have made sure that my default GPU being used is my GTX970M and that my battery is on high performance. my fps is overall terrible....im decently tech savy....what can i do?! please help!!

ps. ive also done sky diver on 3D mark and only got around 25 frames.

here are my specs:
MSI GS70 STEALTH PRO 2QE
WINDOWS 10
I7 5700HQ @ 2.70GHZ
GTX 970M 3GB
16GB RAM
128GB SSD /1TB HDD

plug your monitor into your gpu. most likly is that you have plugged your monitor into your mobo meaning that the gpu wont be being used at all.

O ok open up nivida control panel and make sure your gpu is selected as the graphics.

Nivida controll panel> Configure surround, PhysX> PhysX Settings> Processor> Select your gpu

Laptop components are 40-60% weaker than their desktop counterparts, as they have to be smaller and produce less heat in order to prevent thermal throttling and burning up. They're also more expensive.

Because it's a laptop, there is also virtually nothing you can do about it, as they are built so that you cannot disassemble them without breaking every single warranty and possibly the PC itself.
MAYBE you can try cleaning out the filters, but that's hard to do.

EDIT: I'm so tired I can't word right now. Needed to correct things.

depends on what laptop hes got. some of gaming laptops these days have a desktop gpu in them. and some of those allow you to change the gpu.

Google some 970M benchmarks to see if your laptop is under performing. Other than that, best you can do is lower settings, especially resolution for better performance.

his pc should run freaking almost anything on med - high settings with 60fps.

A 970M is a laptop-only component, not to mention an older laptop-only component. It's different from the regular GTX 970 as the M model is smaller and produces less heat, at the cost of it being WAY weaker (and technically pricier) than the regular 970.

Those laptops with full desktop GPUs tend to be around the 3000-10,000$ mark, and are usually impractical as they're freaking huge (The $9000 Acer laptop with a GTX 1070 is as wide as a Full Tower case).

dont you mean the one that linus showed? the one that has 2 1080s sli curved screen?

and its not even close to a full tower iv got the 750d by corsair and that laptop is half my cases size. its the similar size a home/office desktop case.

I remember some kind of GTX 1070 laptop that was absolutely massive. It's probably about a year old now. Or it's not real and I'm confusing it with that new Razer laptop with the three screens.

Okay, I was wrong.

But the 970M is still an unfixable issue due to the way laptops (And Best Buy and it's universal equivalents' devil contracts) work. He'll just have to sell it or live with it.

have you checked what its using as its gpu? as i said go to nivida control panel and check since it may be on auto or on cpu. it needs to be on gpu. check your drivers are up to date. NOT VIA WINDOWS.

ive googled benchmarks and my laptop is definetly under performing. is there anything i can do to fix this? somehow finding the cpu load and cpu load ? overclocking?
