Recently my laptop's gpu has been overheating quite frequent playing video games. I never had this problem before and I am wondering what I can do. So far I got speedfan and rivatuner but not sure how to use them. They only show me a temp and usually C87 is when it overheats.

May be you can try cleaning the vents/heatsink/fan areas first. Use a can of compressed air. Best if you know how to open up the laptop so you can clean the insides and/or reapply thermal compound.
