While trying to play a TPS game, my frames per second drops considerably when there are more players and more projectiles.

The game's recommended requirements are:
CPU: Dual Core 2.4GHz
Memory: 2GB
Hard Disk: 2GB or higher
Video Card: GeForce 8600GT, ATI X1650XT
Direct X: DirectX 9C or Newer

My computer specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 16GB RAM
Hard Disk: 1TB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache
Video Card: GeForce GT 750M (x2)
Direct X: DirectX 11

Game settings are on Low, although I can run 8x AA and Best settings with the same FPS and spikes. What could the problem be? My guess is my hard drive not being 7200 rpm, but I don't know too much about computers. Let me know if I need to provide more info.

Update! (and bump)
I think I've found the culprit. I downloaded RealTemp to monitor CPU speed load and temperature. Right now, even though I'm running only Skype, Chrome and RealTemp, cores are ~75C. While gaming, temperatures reach 95-100C. I know gaming laptops run hot but this seems very high. When temperatures reach 100C, the speed throttles to 1.2GHz and stays there, and I believe this causes the frame lag. Can anyone help me with this?

Bump.

After trying to fix some other issues, I remembered this issue is still there. My CPU still runs at 70-80 Celsius when doing very few things. Temperatures reach upper 90's easily when gaming, causing throttling and FPS lag.
