Facing issues with gaming on my laptop

I am using Inspiron 5501 laptop

8 GB ram

512 ssd

2 gb Nvidia GeForce MX330

10 gen i5 processor 

 

I am unable to play games like gta 5, call of duty etc. FPS drops suddenly in gta whereas as in cod I encounter low fps.

 

When I go to the task manager I see cpu usage less than 30% but gpu usage 90%. I don't know where is the problem.

 

Things I tried

1. Using Quick CPU software to enhance performance by enabling turbo settings. Increasing least cpu clock speed.

2. Changed pc configuration boot settings from 1 to 8 cores.

3. Made my game priority to real-time from task manager.

4. Changed some registry settings (game dvr to 0 value)

 

I don't know what to do next. I tried every thing available on youtube but it donot work. Cpu usage don't go beyond 40%

 

GTA runs in starting with 30 fps then it drops. Lag comes and makes the game un playable

    Looking at the "recommended" specifications for Call of Duty, your system isn't anywhere near what's recommended:

    Simply put:  the system is underpowered for the gaming you want to do.

    It's either return and re-order a system a couple of steps up the performance ladder, or reduce the game settings to match the hardware you have.

    Thank you for your prompt reply .

    I play all these games at low settings . Sorry I didn't mention it was call of duty modern warfare 3 game. It is a light game and my pc meets the requirement .

    Open command prompt and type dxdiag and then post it up here.  Two, are there any errors you are getting? Can you not install them? Specifics are very important.  If you can provide screenshots that would also help.  There is an off chance that the integrated graphics may not be enough for SOME of those games, but I think at least one or two would probably be ok.  This depends purely on the power of the integrated graphics chip.  DXDIAG will answer those questions for us.

    Thanks for replying . No error came up during the process. Everything was right . I think low cpu base frequency is the problem . It is only 1.19 Ghz

    Thanks for this insight, i was having heavy fps drops in a lot of games even on low settings, so i was wondering whats the problem. And actually when i disabled mx330 games run much better, it must be some manufacturing problem, i quess. But to get to the bottom of the problem, i want my mx330 works properly so i will sent notebook to repair and will see.

     

    Notebook, Dell Inspiron 14 2in1

    RAM: 16GB

    CPU: 11th Gen i7-1165G7

    GPU: dedicated MX330 but right now it works better on integrated Iris Xe
