Can't run a decent game. Not ever 2D ones!

The laptop is old, 4 years or more. I believe it should be able to run games like Amnesia in lowest settings, yet it can't. It was overheating in seconds so I changed the fan last week. Every driver is up to date and no hardware problems, as far as I know. I open the games with spesifically selecting nvidia but still I can't play games with more than 15fps, give or take.

Thats a low to midrange mobile GPU not really intended for heavy gaming power. Even on my i7 Laptop with 16gb and dedicated Nvidia graphics on a full HD screen I am lucky to get 30fps on World of Warcraft.
