Reduced Frames when playing Games
Whenever I play a graphically demanding game on my Razer Blade 15 laptop, for example Rust, I can play with solid 60+ FPS for around 5-10 minutes, with my CPU usage being around 30-40% and my GPU usage at around 60-70%. I have an Intel i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz CPU, and a Nvidia GTX 1660ti GPU. After about 10 minutes, my GPU usage shoots up to 99/100% usage with the clock speed dropping to roughly 300MH and my CPU usage decreases to about 10% with normal clock speeds. My FPS now becomes 15-20. Originally, I thought it might be thermal throttling as my computer sits at around 40-60C when doing average tasks, but shoots up to 90-100C when gaming, but after reducing the power input to the CPU, there is no more thermal throttling according to XTU, but the issue still occurs. My computer is fully updated, and I have had it for about a year. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue?

I always use HWinfo app for monitoring sensors - it also shows thermal throttling - check via this app.
I'd clean the cooling and change the thermal paste (if it wasn't changed yet). You can also try undervolting CPU - it'll run a bit cooler, and take less energy.

It’s normal gpu being utilized 90ish to 100% means you’re maximizing its performance which’s good, but 300 MHz and drop to low FPS aren’t. Sounds to me you’re loosing ac adapter power and use battery power, on battery power system would throttle the performance since battery can’t supply power that is demanded by blade’s hardware. Check on windows battery setting if you’re plugged or on battery.
