For example, I have a decent non-gaming laptop I can’t figure out how I can run say battlefield 4 or titanfall 2 or even GTA v which looks great at 50-60fps pretty consistently however I can’t run say outer wilds or apex or cod at minimum with the resolution set so low I can barely see but only get 20-25fps it just doesn’t make sense pleaaase help me understand thanks so much guys!

You’re focusing too much on the visual elements. A game may not look hyper-realistic or impressive, but behind the scenes may be running lots and lots of code. Like maybe an older game handles bullets by merely checking if a region was hit (instantly, not modeling the bullet), but a newer game actually tracks the “real-time” ballistic trajectory of a bullet and the effect of hitting very specific parts of a body.
Visually, the two things could look almost the same. But there’s more processing for the second one going on. Newer games probably make more use of these things. Plus if you have tons of computing power, maybe they didn’t optimize the code as much as they could have.
