New Laptop Underperforming

So I recently needed to buy a new laptop because my other one broke, and after some time I found an RTX 3060 laptop for a great price, which is way better than my previous GTX 1650 laptop. I watched reviews on everything that the GPU offered and the CPU was better than my old laptop. After finally getting it and testing it out it seems to perform at the same level as my old one if not worse.

On my old laptop Minecraft ran at about 200-300fps with certain settings, I put the same settings on the new one and it rans at 50-70fps which is quite astonishing. I then tested Assassin's Creed Odyssey at Ultra High and Very High and they were both 30fps, while online I saw the same 95W laptop GPU running Odyssey at over 60-70fps can someone please help me discover what is wrong.

I play plugged in.

I have set my Nvidia card to run globally.

This acer nitro doesn't have the cooling for this hardware normally but it shouldn't do this bad. I know acer includes a bunch of crap and I always do a fresh install which helps a fair bit usually.

 

I recommend you use some actual benchmarks like cinebench, unigene superposition, 3dmark,... instead of userbenchmark.

 

Also monitor your temps with afterburner during gaming. Might just be overheating.

I've checked my temps and they seem reasonable, are any of the benchmarking software you listed free?
