and which gpu was older and worse?
M variants are usually pretty weak (like 2x weaker) compared to desktop variants.
However, I don't know if it has an impact, when I do a lspci in my terminal, my gpu contains the description "3D controller" and not "VGA compatible controller", as it is with the NVS 51000m.

The weird thing is... open-source, OpenGL-optmized games like Xonotic run smoothly with high framerates on max settings. Most of these proprietary engines use some sort of wrapper, even if it is at source code level. I get some minimal stutters with Xonotic once in a while, but then that's the CPU, and it's not as frequent as in CS:GO. Everytime I take a bullet in Ballistic Overkill the framerate drops and I can barely react. Even if I buy more powerful hardware I'm not sure how much performance I'll gain. Maybe it's the drivers...
I also believe it must be an optmization detail from the developers of the game. There's this Unity racing game called Hyper Time Disruptor that runs wonderfully at stable 60 fps, and the Hellpoint demo runs at 10-30 fps. The latter being an open-world RPG, so I think it's expected. It also doesn't allow you to choose graphics options and forces fullscreen even when disabling it through command-line arguments. I like the game, but the low performance ruins the experience.
Hardware is complicated :(
