Hi, I have a gtx 660 and a i7 3770, noticed this problem recently when replaying Borderlands with a friend.
I have the NVIDIA GPU Utilization thing opened on one monitor, and i'm playing on my main one.
The problem is this, after getting in game for the first time, my GPU Utilization is around 80-90%+ with my getting around 80-100fps, which is great.
However, after around 10-20 minutes afterwards, my GPU Utilization drops to sub 50% and it results in my fps tanking.
After a long play session of around 1-2 hours, it drops to about 20-40% and my fps is hovering around 30~ and at one point got stuck at around 20~.
I checked my control panel, power settings are set to prefer performance mode, so i'm not sure why it slowly goes down over time.
Any help?
Also not sure where to put the thread, swear we had a tech support section before.

Crap, how did I miss that, I was used to the tech support part being near to the bottom, can a mod move the thread please?
Update:
Just did a test, would have 95%+ GPU Usage for about a minute, then it goes downhill from there.
Maintaining 50-60~ degree temps
