I am having by far the strangest experience with my NGTX 680 from MSI (The non lightning edition)

Yesterday, I was playing DayZ (with Normal settings as the game was in alpha and I personally care more about frames than quality) and within 3 minutes I had a huge FPS dump from 40-60 FPS to 6-10 FPS

I was hoping it was a lagspike but it stayed for over 5 minutes, so I then logged out of DayZ and went straight to Furmark, I did a preset 1080P test and scored only 10 FPS

The GTX 680 according to the site was suppose to get around 45 FPS.

I then restarted my computer and didn't launch the game, instead I went straight to Furmark and tested and received a 47 FPS score

Finally, I turn on my computer today played ARMA 2 and encountered the same scenario as I did with DayZ, I ran the test again and received an 8 FPS score.

Specs:
TX 650W PSU
i5 3550
8GB Crosshair RAM
Z77 Pro4 motherboard

-The card runs at around 80 degrees-

Also, does anyone know if MSI General Warranty covers this sort of thing?
