Suddenly Lower Performance (GPU)

Hey Guys,

     So I was playing BF4 campaign last night for a like 3-4 hours and I noticed my frames starting to drop.  I run FRAPS all the time (because I am crazy) and the game went from 45-55 on Geforce Exp. optimal settings (mostly ultra) to around 25-35 to the point where I had to set it to all medium!  I ran Afterburner in the background to see if my coreclock got lowered for some reason (I had my DCUII OC'd to 1280/3600mhz) and it still showed the GPU running those numbers.  Temps weren't't going up to normal (about 80-85 when gaming) so I know the card is not working as hard as usual. I decided to put her to sleep for the night and shutdown my PC.  When I got up this morning to play some BF4 online I set my settings back to optimal and was getting about 25 even down to 14!!! in Parcel Storm when the typhoon hit?!? Could I have damaged my card?  my overclock was pretty extreme, but it seems really sudden, card is about 1 year old but, before I only had it overclocked to about 1200mhz (I didn't realize it needed more voltage).  When I uses to benchmark Kombuster I would get around 154FPS average at OC'ed settings, now I am getting 67 average, so needless to say, there is a problem.

 

I appreciate any help.

Sorry, I do the same thing in Gmail, I tab and then hit enter.

OT: I realize that, but it happened like out of nowhere during gameplay.

Forgot to mention.  It is a GPU not BF4 problem, my performance in Kombustor dropped too

DO you have the latest drivers? Did you reinstall your current ones?

People complain at 40-50 fps here. I run JC2 lowest settings 11fps.
