My laptop perfoms less than other same laptops.

Hey folks,

Now I have a laptop that was doing alright. Nothing too bad about my laptop. I have friends that have exactly the same laptop as mine, but theirs perfoms better than mine. So let's say we play Overwatch. If I get 60 fps, they both get 80. It's on every other game too! Like they both have the exact same fps and higher than mine.

What could be a problem, hardware issues? How can I check or let it check it/fix it?

Thanks!

It's most likely a driver issue. I'd say update *ALL* your drivers first and then see what happens.


Model of my laptop is Asus ROG gl552vw. I don't know when it's made, but I bought it in January 27st 2016. Windows 10.
My friends bought theirs 8 months later and it's the same laptop but the only diff is that he has a 17 inch and I have a 15 one.
