Well the only reason why a console can get such good performance from the GPU that is around 8 years old is due to the software optimization, in other words, DirectX is the limiting factor for performance. If someone did make a dedicated Gamer OS that works for just one set of specifications on a laptop, you would see phenomenal performance. If I recall correctly, AMD did state that if it wasn't for software issues associated with DirectX, hardware would perform around 10 times better. Now 10 times performance from a mid range laptop GPU would be amazing making gaming laptops a proper choice, but the whole reason for DirectX's existence is the game developers just develop games to work with DirectX instead of tailoring it for each type of GPU on the market because there are just so many of them.
I knew DX was atrocious but I didn't think it was THAT bad
