I have an ASUS GU502LW Zephyrus M15 and I didn't face this issue before, but now every time I play a game it starts fast like League of Legends at 200 frames per second but after about 5 to 10 minutes the frame rate drops way down to only 80 or 90. I tried other games too but still have the same problem. The GPU usage is normal for simple games, staying around 30% to 50%, but after a while it spikes up to 100% and frames drop again. This keeps happening until I restart the game, at which point it stays stable for another 10 minutes before spiking starts again. I reinstalled almost all of my drivers and updated everything else but the problem is still there. So when I play a simple game called "The Long Dark" and use HWINFO to check stats, I see spikes going up to 99% but don't know what caused it since no other program besides the game was using the GPU. If you could help me out, I will post my HWINFO file link here. Maybe you can see something I missed? Thanks a lot in advance! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1auPvOfe...sp=sharing

Your computer is getting hot. If it hits over 90 degrees Celsius, your processor will slow down to save power. That's why things feel sluggish.
