Here’s the rewritten text:

I’m experiencing performance issues in open-world games like Skyrim and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Specifically, I encounter periodic frame rate drops – down to 6-9 fps – lasting around 10 seconds, followed by a return to normal gameplay before repeating. This only occurs within these demanding titles, while others such as Dishonored 2 or DOOM run smoothly. Lowering graphics settings doesn’t alleviate the problem. My GPU reaches approximately 65°C and my CPU around 80°C during AC Odyssey, but I'm unsure if this is typical.

I initially suspected a cooling issue and cleaned my fans and reapplied thermal paste to my CPU and GPU without success. Next, I reinstalled my graphics drivers, also to no avail.

I’m at a loss for what to try next, so any suggestions would be very helpful. My laptop is approximately two years old and has been functioning perfectly until around three months ago when these issues began.
