drop in performance and overheating in the programs (games, 3d editors) boot camp windows 7/8

Hello. I installed windows 8 on the MacBook Pro 15 late in 2013 (with 2.6 gz and gf 750m) and faced with the problem of lags in games after a 15-20 minute run (fps drop from 45-50 to 20-25, no matter high or low settings) , at such moments the temperature of the processor reaches 80 degrees. I tried to reset smc and nvram, install other drivers, reinstalling windows 7/8 and overclocking cooler, but it did not help. in Mac OS such problems not observed (run over 4 programs and view 1080p video simultaneously), the maximum temperature of 53 degrees. anyone else encountered this problem and how you solved it?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), GF 750m and 2.6 gz

You can look at Power Options -> Advanced Settings as shown and see if it provides any relief. You should set the minimum state to 5%. If it is already 5%, you may still want to apply it and test.

Windows runs a bit hotter than OS X, in general. GPU in Mac laptops are mobile versions, not desktop versions, and perform differently than desktop versions. If you use a protective case, test it with and without the case.
