I just received a laptop with these specs, which is plugged into the above monitor. The guy who had it ran Red Dead Redemption 2 on it flawlessly at default settings. I'm having an issue where games will run normally for a minute and then have 3-4 second long FPS chugs afterwards. I am 90% sure it's an issue with refresh rate or a similar setting, but when I think I have the correct settings enabled I reset my PC and the game is back to fucking up the next day. I'm only trying to run these at 1080p and 60 FPS.

Disable fullscreen optimizations, make sure the AC adapter (power cord) is plugged up, change the power management settings, (Set windows power plan to high performance).
NVIDIA Control Panel set Power management mode = Prefer maximum performance
Laptops are weird because they try to reserve power as to not drain your battery, gotta make sure all that stuff is off. If your laptop gets hot (~90c-95c) it may result in thermal throttling, you'll want to watch temps and make sure this isn't happening, consider getting one of those fan pads.
Try limiting your FPS cap to a refresh rate that can consistently be achieved by your monitor. (and try using 60hz, etc)
There's some other common sense stuff you could check for but it also could just be the fact that you're running 4GB VRAM in the big '26.
