Alienware 17 R3 - Performance issues on games

Question

Hi all, I am not a very technical person so apologies in advance if I do not provide enough information.  I have the Alienware 17 R3 with the following specs: i7-6820HK CPU @2.7ghz  GTX 980 (using graphics amplifier, the laptop has the GTX 980m) My main issue is with Titanfall 2 which I cannot get to run smoothly anymore, even though I was playing it for about a week on high settings with no issues. Something has happened recently to hinder my computers performance.  I know I can overclock the CPU but I've heard it doesn't make much difference and when playing titanfall 2 I minimized and checked and CPU level was around 40% so I don't think thats the issue.  I also play Overwatch sometimes and I was getting no less than 60 fps for a month, yesterday it was down to 30-40 fps. I tried it again today and it was back up to 60 but Titanfall 2 still has issues.  It's very frustrating, short of reinstalling the computer I am not sure what to do and if possible I would like to avoid that.  Thanks in advance!

make sure nvidia control panel uses the 980 instead of 980M on specific apps or games.
