So I used to own a gl702vm, which had 16gb of ram, a gtx 1060 6gb, and a i7-6700HQ processor. At the time of purchase, it was a pretty beefy laptop that had its issues with thermal throttling, but nonetheless, I updated the BIOS, made holes on the bottom cover for improved cooling and I was getting about 70-80 fps on Destiny 2 (1080p) on High settings. This year I decided to get a GL704GW that came with 16gb of ram (single channel), an i7-8750H, and rtx 2070 and a pretty sleek monitor with a 144hz display at 3ms. Looks really good on paper, but since I've started to use it, I've had nothing but problems. When I play Destiny 2 on it, I pretty much get the same performance that my old laptop gave me, which is around 60-80 fps on the highest settings (1080p). I'm thinking that with this new GPU, I should be getting a constant 120fps on it, but that's not the case. Even when I dropped the game from highest to lowest settings, the FPS doesnt move at all. I updated the bios to version to 303, updated all the drivers and I'm still getting that poor performance. Should I just return it and get something else? Is there something I'm missing in settings?

This is really strange tbh, I have the exact same model and easily get 120+ FPS on games like Overwatch, and 90+ FPS with games like BF5 when they're set to their highest settings.
I have the GEForce Gaming experience that optimized those two games for me- maybe that's the difference? Other than that I haven't really messed with the graphics settings. In fact, I think I have my NVIDIA Card actually set to balanced mode instead of performance, which should make it even less powerful than it can be.

Your not getting the performance because the single channel memory is your bottleneck. I have the GL504GW and the moment I upgraded the memory to dual channel (32gb) I instanstly got 20 fps on majority of the games. Its like a night and day difference and I highly recommend to upgrade.
Do some research and you will find significant differences in performance betwen single and dual channel
