If there's anyone here that can help me out here it will be highly appreciated. I am currently using a Lenovo Legion Y530 15"inch which has a Nvidia GTX 1060 but I have performance which is nowhere close to 1060 benchmarks. I am told it is a 1060 6GB but I dont know how to see the GPU Ram since I am not good with Computer stuff. My laptop got an Intel i5-8300h with 16GB Ram and I'm not sure how good those specs are but eg. in GTA5 with "low-medl" settings I get between 45-55 FPS and other 1060's get around 80 FPS on max settings. for me on "Almost max" settings I get around 15 FPS. I dont know what could be the problem. I know I probably sound dumb to those who know a lot on PC's but any help is appreciated. Tnx

Dedicated GPUs in notebooks cannot be compared performance wise to PCI-E desktop cards that have the same graphics chip.
The GTX 1060 in your notebook slots into the motherboard the same as the CPU and likewise it will have a heatsink and either its own or a CPU cooling fan that is shared between the two heatsinks, a GTX 1060 Ti PCI-E card that goes into a desktop however is fixed to a PCB and has a couple of cooling fans, these cards draw their power from the +12V rail on the PSU and so much power is needed because of the two cooling fans, if you put the same amount of power through your GTX 1060 you would fry it, this is the reason why Lenovo etc have to modify the drivers for the discrete GPUs that they use and why you must use either the High Performance Windows Power Plan or a program that has been specifically provided for the GPU by Lenovo.
NB: The drivers for the GPU must also come from Lenovo and not Nvidea unless Lenovo direct you otherwise.
To check your VRAM see How much memory does my video card have?

Wow thats quite a bit to take in but I understand what you are saying, thank you very much. Anyway I do think I am due for an upgrade and I will be going desktop over laptop. I really appreciate the knowledge you've shared right here
Sorry that we could not provide a means of improving the GPUs performance but pleased to know that we have been able to provide you with an explanation regarding the performance of the two types of GPU.
You are welcome btw
