GPU underclocking

Hey guys... My laptop's (ASUS G75VX) GPU(GTX670MX) keeps on underclocking by itself... when I play games the temps are constantly at 87-89 degrees celcius and at this temperature, the gpu shouldn't be having much problem, however... the gpu underclocks itself to 200+mhz when the default is 601mhz... I have already disabled the turbo boost on my i7 by making the maximum CPU power setting to 99% it no longer turbo boosts anymore so the temperature should go down a little... I also have my laptop sitting on top of a coolermaster laptop cooler. Is there any other way to prevent my gpu from underclocking? Hopefully nothing that needs me to spend my cash...

 

I added the image of Msi afterburner after I played GTA IV for a little while... as you can see the GPU clock is significantly lower when I was playing the game and pops back up to 601 mhz when idle...

Pretty sure the GPU is throttling.
