Hi guys, I just installed a new GTX 670 OC card in my rig:

-intel core i3 530 @2.93hgz OC'd at 3.4ghz
-gigabyte H55M-UD2H mobo
-500gb HDD WD caviar blue
-Thermaltake TR2-500 watt psu >>> 35 amps on 12v rail
-8gb Mushkin enhanced ram

My previous card HD 5770 had no problems running games, with zero stutters or lag spikes! In far cry 4, bf4, multiple games i tried the new gtx 670 will run around 45-50 fps with major lag spikes occuring every 30 seconds or so. It's as if its stuttering every 30 seconds. Any clue as to why this is happening? Checked temps while gaming, all are fine. Checked usage, cpu usage runs around 95-100% graphics will be anywhere from 70%-90% usage while gaming.

Yeah, all drivers are up to date, with the previous HD 5770 i had no problems running medium at around 40-50fps ZERO lag spikes. Just as i installed this new card, lag spikes starting showing up in all my games. Also lowering the game settings doesn't seem to help at all. Fps will stay the same which is weird. I also have nothing running in the background.
