Many 15-inch MacBook Pro notebooks have two graphics processors (GPU)—a discrete GPU and an integrated GPU. The discrete GPU provides substantial graphics performance but uses more energy. The integrated GPU optimizes battery life by using less energy.
Check if the discrete or integrated GPU is in use
To see which graphics cards are in use, choose Apple () menu > About this Mac. The graphics cards currently in use appear next to Graphics. Learn which integrated GPUs your Mac might have.

- 35-40fps is fine on a game like The Witcher - bad for a game like Overwatch or BF1. Overwatch runs on high, 2880x1800 at 'auto' resolution scale at 70fps for me on my Pro 460.
