The way Nvidia measure graphic performance with their lineup from slowest to fastest is xx30 xx50 xx60 xx70 and xx80.
1050 (xx50) is entry level and not on the same level as a 1060.
May improve performance a bit if configure a higher power plan in Windows and NvidiaCP to favor more performance. The battery will drain quicker so have it plugged in.
Playing Sekiro, CPU is at 82 degrees Celsius and GPU at 85 degrees CelsiusYour thermal paste is fine as it does not go bad in 2 years, but thermals still may be the issue. What are your CPU/GPU temps under load? You my have a fan go out or the cooling is damaged.
What games are you playing? Your 1050 is not gonna game at modern AAA titles on high settings at 60fps. But it should manage low settings.
The 1050 is an entry level card. Don't expect it to run everything at the highest settings. And yes, more often than not you'll have to dial back the graphic settings to keep a decent FPS. So, your laptop seems to run as expected for what it is. Since it's a laptop, there isn't much than can be done about it. On a desktop, the solution would be to change the 1050 for a more powerful card.
Have you try to clean the laptop vents with compressed air ? They often get full of dust, hampering the cooling.
I mean the 1050 is sub-par but its not this garbage. Could it be a problem with drivers, maybe they're just 2 years old and you never updated them? Or could it be you plugged your cable into the motherboard and not the GPU but its unlikely on a laptop.
Your temps are okay. They are a little warm for a desktop, laptops parts run warmer. Your temps would be well above 85C if your cooling was not working. The issue is with the game. While I have not played Sekiro (I want too), it is as modern AAA game and From software is not known for their well optimzed game. So playing a new and unoptimzed game on entry/budget hardware is going to be difficult.
