I've been experiencing performance problems with my gaming laptop that's less than a year old. Despite updating all the drivers and ensuring there are no viruses, I'm struggling to run games that should be easy for my setup. This issue started about 3 or 4 days ago, and I suspect it might be related to the graphics card. I shared my UserBenchmark results, and I'm wondering if I should reach out to the manufacturer since I'm still under warranty.

First things first, I'd say steer clear of UserBenchmark. It's been labeled pretty unreliable by many in the tech community. A lot of people just don’t trust its results. You might want to look at other benchmarking tools instead to get a clearer picture of your hardware performance.
It sounds like your laptop might be overheating, which is common with gaming laptops. Check if the fans are still doing their job and make sure the cooling vents aren't clogged with dust. Even if it was cleaned recently, dust can accumulate pretty fast.
Have you checked the specs with a reliable tool? Running a tool like Specify can give you a better overview of your system and help pinpoint the issue. Here's a link if you want to give it a go: [Specify Tool](https://rtech.support/factoids/specify/).
