    Turning the graphic settings down will only help with Vsync on.
    You can try to cap Frames at 60 and then tinker with the settings,cleaning the fan system or an extern Laptop cooler might also help.

    In general, DAtV is a CPU heavy game, it will strain your CPU and it is not unusual for a Laptop CPU to run at this temps.
