    hi guys when i play battlefield 3 on any graphic setting i get random fps drops it will be on around 70-90FPS then will drop down to 10 FPS randomly and recover 20-30 secs later. i have tested many games such as minecraft (50 mods HD textures) 50fps all the time COD 5 waw around 90fps all the time tropico 4 around 90 fps BUT DROPS to 15 sometimes

    it seems to be only happening on certain games i am using the 306.97 drivers and i have added these programs into the nvidia 3d settings

    is anyone experiencing similar drops or is this just an issue with my system i am going to repaste the card soon but i dont have any thermal paste atm ordered some yesterday.


    Also the temps for the system are really good only around 60-65 C when playing any games
