    Something is causing the GPU usage to spike up-and-down like crazy. Make sure your CPU is not overheating and/or throttling and there is nothing system-intensive running in the background while gaming. Also, install the latest graphics drivers from Nvidia's website as you are on a very old one. The newest is 326.80.

    I also installed the latest, but no change. (326.80 Beta). The problem is with any application that runs over Nvidia - low fps, freeze.

    http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1221897 and rendering has been distorted.

    fifteen minute load test graphics in application FurMark.
