Problem with laptop performance?
My laptop has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 TI with 6GB of GPU memory.
Previously, I experienced around 100+ FPS while gaming, but recently it becomes very choppy and the FPS drops to 25 or less. When I ran a Furmark benchmark, I achieved about 1000 points and only 17 FPS. The GPU temperature remains between 92 to 97°C during gameplay and in benchmark tests.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this issue?
You need to give us far more info, such as case, CPU, CPU cooler, how many fans you have, ambient temperature, CPU temperatures, a whole lot more than you've provided basically.
Otherwise, nobody can even start to try and help you.

High temperatures are a common issue for laptops. What we require is the clock speed at that temperature. Still, it's likely the thermal paste for the CPU/GPU should be replaced. That would be the first step if there isn't a broken fan or a blocked heatsink. All these tasks can usually be handled together.
It's a laptop equipped with an Intel Core i5-9300H processor and 16GB of DDR4 memory. It features two fans operating near 5000 RPM. The GPU temperature remains between 45–50°C when idle, while the CPU stays around 60–70°C. While gaming, both the GPU and CPU temperatures rise to 92–97°C. During gameplay, the GPU utilization reaches approximately 99%, VRAM consumption is about 1400 MB, and CPU usage is near 50%.
The CPU temperatures are unusually high, which could mean the system is running heavy background tasks while in idle mode or that the fan settings are too lenient. It might also indicate the thermal paste has loosened from the CPU. Missing out on clock speed details makes it hard to determine if throttling is occurring based on usage percentage.
I looked at the clock speed while playing games. The GPU speed changes from 350MHz to 450MHz, sometimes hits 900MHz or drops to 1100MHz. The CPU speed varies between 2700MHz and 3700MHz. None of them stays steady.
