FPS/GPU Usage drops

[Emil.n]

I picked up JC3 yesterday and tried to play it today, at first it seemed to run pretty nicely (65-80FPS), after a minute or two of gameplay I started getting huuuge FPS drops, very frequently. Fast forward another minute and another cutscene, game becomes literally unplayable, .5-1 sec freezes, FPS drops below 5, GPU usage also dropping a lot. Any help or tips of what could be going on is highly appreciated. This is what it looks like in MSI Afterburner:  

. This does happen in a couple other games as well, but not this bad.

Well i don't know... It is well known jc3 hates amd cards but because you've got nVidia you shouldn't have any problems. Are your drivers fully up-to-date?
