What resolution are you using? That's a very basic GPU, roughly on the level of an R7 250 or a GT 740 on the desktop. It ought to only be playable at 768p and lower resolution.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from rsanjheev : "Laptop gaming needs"

I have i5 7th generation 8gb DDR4 RAM and 2GB of NVIDIA 940MX can I play games like GTA 5,WATCH DOGS 2 ?
LAPTOP MODEL: ASUS R558uq-dm701t

And the cpu is only a dual core with HT, light "U" model is not mean for gaming

Glad to see this merge! It's frustrating when someone asks a question, gives vague details, and then only gives more details in a completely new thread.

update CPU to quad core and get psu + egpu setup

if you want to game, it wont work on all models though and you may need extra psu connectors and break your back panel of laptop to get connector to wifi slot

a "U" type cpu is solder to the system board

Then egpu would be useless and bottlenecked hard. thanks for clarifying that rgd1101. I dealt with so many old laptops with changable cpu:s that i always forget they solder them nowdays, too bad
