To me it seems that GPU starts to throttle at that temperature, but I cant be sure since dont have the laptop. Anyway you could try downloading MSI Afterburner and check, if your GPU core clocks are being reduced after you reach certain temperature ingame.
To do this just download MSI Afterburner first.
Then you need to setup it so it shows values ingame.
Check this screenshot - http://s17.postimg.org/5jilnz73j/msiafter.jpg . Up there in the graphs section you can check what will be displayed ingame when you play. Be sure you check "Show in On-Screen Display" so it will be displayed.
You should enable these values (should be from up to bottom) - GPU Temp/GPU usage/Core clock/Memory clock/Memory usage/Framerate/Ram usage/Cpu temperature/Cpu usage.
After doing this, open the next "On screen display" panel and change binds for toggling the afterburner on/off ingame, if you would like to.
Point is that you should be watching your GPU Core clocks during gameplay, and see, if they are being lowered when you reach certain temperature or when the FPS spike happens.
Ok I'll do what you said but first I'll tell you what's happening:
First of all, when I use latest nVIDIA driver, I must say that almost all the time the games are running nice, but if I'm under 40% battery and plugged in, I have fps drops. I have the laptop for like 6 weeks. I've been playing hours and not even a drop, but it has moments I don't know.
Second, I've installed the version 347.52, and the gameplay is awful, I enter in Skyrim, all good, Ultra High, 60fps+ etc, and after 10sec let's say fps drops to 10-20 and stay there, and the temperature is 65-70max.
Now, I'm gonna install again the latest driver, and make a 3Dmark test, then I'll try Afterburner.
If I can't solve the problem, I'll write 5 pages of this story and send it with the laptop to service. 1100 euros and have problems playing...
