Problem With Galaxy GTX660 Droping Frames

[Guest]

I have a Galaxy GTX 660 -http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162122
and an ASROCK mobo - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157262 I have been playing bf3 recently and now my game will drop to 14-15 FPS even if I'm playing on the minimum settings. I have been monitoring my voltage and gpu during this and it turns out that when I get the frame drops my voltage and GPU usage drop drastically. I get about 50 frames on a normal game of BF3. I don't know what to do and I really need your help! Thanks guys

what CPU do you have? Also, you should know, the gtx660 cards throttle back if they get too hot, check the temps and make sure you have a couple exhaust fans to suck the heat out. And what PSU do you have? maybe the card isnt getting enough power. I actually have a similar problem in crysis 2, its happened a couple times, its like the card goes back to idle clocks. It only seems to happen in multiplayer if my ping is too high. I just restarted the game to fix it. Hasnt happened for a while, make sure your drivers are up to date too.

MY drivers are up to date and I have a 750 watt PSU and a AMD fx-8150 8-core CPU running at stock clock. I have 3 fans around my computer and my temps are at about 50 degrees when playing.
