calling @proxos666 to help with game performance

Improving FPS at Max Settings, calling @proxos666 to halp!

I currently have a pretty decent laptop, with a i7 Skylake 6700HQ processor and a Nvidia GTX 980M. I can currently run games like Fallout 4 or Battlefront at Max or close to it, and I can run TOR fairly well sans shadows, but I notice that it doesn't seem to increase my GPU usage much. Running Shadows is fairly playable, but the moment I go to 8man Operations or any warzones, my FPS goes down to the 20ish range, whereas without shadows it tends to stay at 30.

My question is, is there any way to increase the ability of TOR to utilize my GPU, or get a reason as to why an i7 is doing worse than rigs with i5s? I mean I know it is a laptop but my temps are fairly low for a Laptop, typically hovering around 45C.
