For some reason in Garry's mod, I pull about 20-45FPS in multiplayer, and I should be getting much higher....
General Specs:
CPU: i5 3570k @4.2ghz
GPU: 2x NVIDIA GTX 660 FTW Signature2
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengance 1600Mhz
Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme4
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
PSU: Corsair TX750M

Using HwInfo and RivaTuner OSD in game, both cards have a core load of 5-10%, and CPU core 0 stays stable at about 60%, while the others stay well below 50%.Any ideas?

Edit: Might be worth mentioning that in the main menu and loading screens, I get 1200+ fps, and the CPU is 70% all cores, while the GPUs ramp up to 60% on both.

Voltages appear to be fine, and is 45C really that hot for an Intel chip? And under medium stress at that? (not like its idling) Last I checked, they can tolerate up to 105C.

Anyway, I'm fairly sure it isn't hardware, as every other application runs perfectly, including other Source engine games like HL2 and CS:S. Only Gmod is experiencing this problem. It didn't always have this probem either. I used to get 700FPS stable in game, then one day it tanked. Didn't manually change system settings or overclock anything (further than it already was) at the time either.
