    Hey guys.. I got this frame drop issue with my 580M , and it seems like the card is going to conk out. I used to have 100+ frames while I play bf3 on low settings. But now I'm only getting 80~fps even on low settings. The frame drops often to like 20~ but it quickly recovers to around 80~ fps again. I did not overclocked anything on my computer. My nvidia driver is 285.62. It happens when I upgrade my driver to 296.10 , after that I reverted back to 285.62 but the low fps and frame drops issue is still there. The average temperature for the card while gaming is around 66-70. I got a external cooler for it. I hope you guys will assist me on this matter.. thanks :)
