Dell Vostro 14 5401 massive fps drop while playing games

A few months ago I bought a Dell Vostro 14 5401 Laptop with the following specs:

Intel Core i7-1065G7 (10th Gen)
NVIDIA GeForce MX330 (2 GB)

 

64 bit
1.3 GHz
512 GB PCIe M.2 SSD
16 GB RAM


I bought this laptop (which cost 1000$) for the main purpose of coding and gaming.
But when playing games such as rocket league, I get a massive fps drop. (min:10fps, max:30fps) 
I don't think this should happen with these specs. 
And I tried everything (by everything I mean everything)
But still I can't fix this problem
So I would really appreciate if someone can help me fix this problem.
Thank you!!

    This is not a gaming Laptop like the G5 or G7 series.

    NVIDIA GeForce is slower than the GT1030 so its not going to be a gaming laptop.  You need at least a GTX 1650 GPU or better.

    MX330 

    Graphics Processor GP108
    Cores 384
    TMUs 24
    ROPs 16
    Memory Size 2 GB
    Memory   64 bit GDDR5

     

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
    Graphics Processor TU117
    Cores 896
    TMUs 56
    ROPs 32
    Memory Size 4 GB
    Memory 128 bit GDDR5

    Thanks for your reply

     

    Well, I understand that this is not a gaming laptop but I really think it should be able to handle games such as rocket league.
    I have a friend who gets 60+ fps on hp pavilion with mx150 and i7-8550U in medium settings
    And also a friend who has mx330 Asus  and gets 90 fps with max settings.
    Whereas I get max30fps in low settings.
    Hence I think that the problem lies in my pc and I did a diagnostic and there is no hardware problem, so it has to be a software problem.
