Yea try turning things off that may lower performance. Also, download HWMonitor and while the games running, look at your maximum degrees of various components. What I did is put the game in windowed mode so i can watch both at the same time and found out that when mine got to a certain temperature, it would throttle and FPS would drop to 10. So I knew I was overheating. A good cleaning may be what you need. I took apart my heatsink and cleaned it real good.
