Solution
Turn off the APEX PhysX option, even with hardware much more powerful than what was available when the game came out it will still tank your performance. You might also want to go to the Nvidia Control Panel settings for the game and set your card to prefer maximum performance in the power settings.

Solution
I do recommend turning off PHYSX but I'm not sure why the GPU would be so low. It should be maxed out during those times.

Use the BENCHMARK as a guide as well. You should be able to drop a couple settings and maintain a solid 60FPS.

Also, go into POWER OPTIONS and make sure PCIe link-state isn't set to HIGH.
