Processor alone does not dictate the performance of your computer. Download Speccy on both computers and provide a screenshot of both screens, or better yet, provide a copy-paste of both.
In the meantime, make sure your battery plan is on high performance and you've set the Nvidia Control Panel settings on "High Performance Graphics".

I would start thinking about your GPU, not your CPU. I doubt the game is CPU intensive, so your processor is fine as is; however, I would monitor the CPU and GPU speeds with HWMonitor. If the CPU speed never goes above 2.5 GHz, there's something wrong. It should hit 3.3 GHz at some point due to Turbo Boost.

I never said it wasn't a problem. I said processor alone does no dictate performance, and I also said however when I said the processor was fine because I'm thinking there may be something wrong.
