can't get high framerates Hi I have a ASUS ROG laptop

processer: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz   2.59 GHz

Graphics: NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060

Ram: 16 gbs

I just cannot reach 144 fps with this laptop. (The screen is 144hz btw) I usually turn down the graphics of the games of play (Apex Legends, Risk of Rain 2) but I still get 80-90 fps. My laptop gets kind of hot when gaming, but I use a fan stand and it cools it down significantly to the point my laptop does not feel hot anymore. I heard that laptops come with lots of "bloatware" installed but I don't know how to clean that and everything I've searched to fix it seems invasive and a bit sketchy. I just want to run my games at a smooth 144 fps. My specs are pretty good I feel like I'm just missing something here. Any help would be appreciated.
