I'm not sure but this is league. I would expect even the mx150 to do better. Even on 1080p which I think that laptop is.
I bet it's your power settings. Make sure you are gaming plugged in. Many laptops use a battery saving performance mode when not plugged in which will cripple gaming performance. This is a feature inside windows. You can tweak your power settings to not do that but you will have less battery life unplugged.
Assuming windows 10 since it's new.. type Control Panel in the cortana/search box -> right click -> open file location -> right click Control Panel again and copy + paste or Send To desktop. Sorry that was just for convenience ;p I dislike not having old school control panel.. Now enter control panel.. assuming category view by default.. -> System and security -> right click power options and create shortcut for desktop.. Ok this is your windows power control settings... Plugged in it should be on "balanced" or the equivalent asus may have set up. Unplugged it may switch to a power saving mode which will cripple your gaming performance. But is generally imperceptible for light work. When unplugged you can switch the mode and it will remember to stay that way in my experience. I just don't typically game unplugged though.
There's also high performance. Eh. It's not like it actually makes your computer more powerful though. It just reduces some power conservation tactics so it can ramp up to a high powered state more quickly giving you marginal boost going from idle to doing work.
In there you can also change timers for when the screen turns off after idle and how long it takes to go into sleep mode, which saves your session to your ram. But ram requires very a minute amount of power to keep as it's volatile memory. Hibernate mode is like sleep tho slightly slower but saves to your storage instead. Most people don't see a use for that.
• Other guess is you need to update windows. Although I mean I'm sure you are up to date. control + a -> settings -> update.
• Or update your nvidia drivers. Though I'm sure windows 10 and then asus already put some functional drivers on there already. It's unlikely that.
•Maybe turn off windows 10 game bar which causes issues. ctrl + a -> settings -> gaming -> game bar switch to off
•Maybe check the thermals of your laptop when trying to game with HWMonitor. It's probably reasonable though as it's new and not high powered. Very nice program to have anyway. But the 15 watt pre ryzen amd cpu in my mothers old crappy hp laptop idles at 100 c so it's possible but that's just old crappy amd cpus in an old cheap ass hp laptop that I should open up but they made it a pita. ANYWAYS nvidia gpus tend to start throttle'ing above 80c
