Does it only happen in Bioshock?

Bioshock does this; even my rig will cause a freeze for a second or two when entering some areas. As long as performance returns after a few seconds, its not that huge a deal...

its an issue with the current nvidia drivers, it has nothing to do with your hardware. The fix is to roll back your drivers to 178.24, I had the exact same issue as have many other Nvidia owners.
