    Only getting about 30 FPS on counter-strike global offensive with lowest possible settings. Here is a 3dmark score, is this around the usual score for this laptop?

    - Have you monitored your temps of the GPU and CPU?
    - Have you made sure that you are using the GT 650m?
    However, your Firestirke score may be around what the laptop should get.

    The temps are fine and it seems to be using the gt 650m.

    Tell us the temps. If it is at 65 C to 70 C, you're throttling and may have to resort to using the factory driver t fix the problem (temporarily).
