'notebooks' are not made to run modern games.

that said make sure you launch the game with the power cord plugged in and the power options set to high performance if you see any

This. Plus the note on notebooks.

Not true for all notebooks, I have one right now that will beat the pants off your desktop, unless you're running a 1080 GPU.  There are many options now for 1070,1080, and even 1080 SLI in both 15 and 17", and larger, laptops.  Not as optimal as a desktop, but they DO work, especially if you can plug them in while using them, as the power doesn't last long gaming I've found.

Uhm... Gman, in my thinking there's a big difference between "notebooks" and "gaming laptops".

Then again, I must admit that the terminology is somewhat messy. As an example, most "laptops" shouldn't be used on a soft fabric surface which can both prevent airflow and clog the coolers with loose fibers. So using the laptop on one's lap is not recommended. Undressing you pants won't solve the issue either since the laptop should be used on a "hard, flat surface" - hey, isn't a desktop such a surface? Which leads me to think that most "desktop" computers are placed below the tabletop.

Ah, ya, nomenclature issue perhaps.  Here in Canada typically notebook/laptop/etc are used to describe one and all, without major distinction.  Go to different shops and you'll see "gaming notebook, gaming laptop".

There used to be elegant, ultrabook-ish type "notebooks" available with gaming GPUs, but no longer, at least not common.  The Razer units that are very thin with a decent gaming GPU spring to mind as a notebook that can "game", but ya, you're right, the terminology is somewhat wonky.
