Computer is massively under-performing?

My computer recently has been running at an appalling speed. It has been designed to run games with ease. But this computer cant seem to run games like minecraft, trove or even red faction: guerrilla without getting fps higher than 30.
However, I know some people who have worse set ups than me but they can run games like the ones above better than I can.
What can the problem be? This is a laptop. I have set the priority of the application to realtime, set the affinities all to on, making sure that my laptop is plugged in.
I'll put my DXDIAG in this question to view my specs in detail.
Any response would be appreciated, I would prefer to start a conversation rather than a direct answer.
