Hello people!

I know this is a question that has been asked many times over here, but I'm currently suffering of terribly low FPS on my computer while playing, with the CPU and GPU usage never oing over 45%.

My computer is an Asus ROG, processor Intel i7, graphic card Nvidia GTX 960M, 16 Go RAM.
It's my first post talking about my computer, so It'll probably miss some informations.

This computer is labelled "gaming" (even if it's a laptop, I'm not making the mistake of buying another one), so I find it quite weird that I can't play most of my games with proper FPS.

Howevever, a few things you might want to know : the PC has natively 8Go of RAM, and I installed another 8Go 5 months ago or so. The laptop's battery died two weeks after, but I still had somewhat proper FPS, until three to four weeks ago.
Also, according to MSI Afterburner, the minimum temperature inside the computer is 49°C, while the highest temp is 92%. I'm not sure this is the only cause of this FPS drop though.

Anyway, thanks in advance for your help!

EDIT : full references are

Processor : Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU, 2.60GHz x64
RAM : 16 Go
Graphic Card : NViddia GTX 960 M

I re-checked using HWInfo, and there's apparently no sign of throttling according to the log. The highest temperatures for the cores were 84°C, too.
I noticed something : in the HWInfo log, the IA Max Turbo Limit, IA: Turbo Attenuation, GT fuses limit, RING Max VR Voltage, Performance Limit Utilization are all set to Yes all throughout the test. A quick Google search didn't tell me what it actually was, maybe you know what it means?

If you want to see them, I made two logs, one tested with Overwatch, and another with Warhammer Total War II, which are the games that cause most of the trouble I have.
