TERRIBLE preformance on HTC Vive OG with Alienware 13 R3

+1 on it potentially being thermal throttling based on you saying that it gets worse as the session progresses. You may want to look into a cooling pad - if you have a fan lying around you can experiment with using that to cool the rig to see if it makes a difference before making the commitment. You could also try going into whatever BIOS or software is on your rig to disable the throttling but only do so if you have external cooling in place otherwise you can damage your hardware.

Bear in mind Boneworks isn't a light application at all due to the texturing and physics simulations. The 1060 is their minimum requirements for first gen HMDs so expecting it to run at max settings on a laptop version of a 1060 is not a very realistic expectation of your laptop and if you had automatic scaling on - it may have been able to run with those settings only via down-sampling.
