Playing Trials Fusion which normally plays at solid 60 fps, but today it's dropping all the way to 40.

Borderlands is borderline unplayable like I said in a previous thread (17 fps at times plus general instability). Both are on max settings which this rig had no problem with back in January. Occasionally on boot Windows is shifted right (everything will be fine at the BIOS splash screen, but when Windows takes over that happens which I fix by restarting my TV). I heard that issue is to do with the display not the machine

I don't know if it's Nvidia's 335.23 drivers which I reinstalled on account of Borderlands or the card has had enough. IT's a GTX 760 2GB together with an i5 4570 @3.2GHz and 16GB RAM. I know Trials would do this on the consoles, so is it just one of them things?
