PentiumForLife :
My CPU doesn't have high usage. Even when I check task manager, there's nothing else with high CPU usage.
That imgur link you posted shows 100% CPU usage as the max, even with different apps open and even a game it shouldn't be that high and when it does hit 100% you would experience that stuttering/lower FPS.
Let me point out something rather important..
the temp on your cpu is causing your drop in fps, why? its over heating.. anything over 85c is a problem..

Yeah, I realised that my system was thermal throttling - though I don't know if it was the main problem. I've already undervolted using XTU and seen much improved performance as well as lower temps, I will probably repaste and put thermal pads on the VRMs to further reduce temps.
Thanks for the replies.
i7-7700HQ owner here, I have an MSI GP72M 7REX LEOPARD PRO and that cpu is... a fookin' furnace. It's normal for that CPU, right now I have the CPU undervolted and if I enable the CoolerBoost I can keep the CPU under 95*C... cannot do better since my house is sooo hot on summer.
