Recently, my fps on all of my games went down drastically. I reverted to older drivers, and that didn't solve it. Another unusual thing is that my fps are relatively stable around 40 even when moving around, but if I move my crosshairs and turn in my fps drops to 20. This is all in situations where I was previously getting upwards of 60 fps. I have checked my gpu usage and it occasionally spikes to 100, but sometimes it is hovering around 60 but I still have the same problems with my fps.
Suddenly lower fps on all games GTX 660

It could be a CPU issue, it happened to me when my CPU was overheating and it had to lower its performance in order to keep a safe temperature, a cpu bottleneck happened. Check your temps.
When my gpu usage was at 85% my temperatures were at 65-70. This is the highest it went when I tested it. My cpu temperature peaked at 60. None of these temperatures seemed unusual and from what I saw when I used gpuz to look at clock speed, I don't think bottlenecking is occuring. In addition, all of the statistics that I have provided so far are from Planetside 2 with all settings besides physx on ultra. Turing my graphics settings down does not seem to affect my framerate at all. On Borderlands 2, I am at a steady 110 fps at almost all times even when moving, but if I turn or move my crosshairs I my framerate starts to stutter alot, occasionally hitting 5-6 fps.
EDIT 2: Well, I figured it out for one game. In hotline miami, my graphics card was going down to 324 mhz clock speed, probably because it is not a very graphically intensive game. I'm still not sure whats happening in Borderlands and Planetside 2 though.

A reinstall of borderlands 2 didn't help, but I have some new information that may shed light on my problem. I seem to have removed the factory overclock on my card. My card is an EVGA superclocked gtx 660, and should have a core clock of 1046 Mhz and a boost clock of 1111 MHz and I remember seeing these speeds on EVGA precision, but now I am at a stock gtx 660 speed of 549 MHz and don't seem to have a boost clock speed. What makes this even stranger though is that I was seeing clock speeds of 1046 as late as 2 days ago, and my framerate issues started before that. While I may resort to a reinstall, I would like to "recover" my overclock first. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
That setting didn't affect it. Something else I just remembered that may simply be coincidence is that I installed Geforce experience around the time period where the problem started. I have since uninstalled it, with no difference to my fps. In addition, I was using it recommended graphics settings before my issues started because I had it installed a while back, but uninstalled it to make hard drive space.
