    Well, without further info nobody is going to respond.

    1. What NV driver are you using?
    2. Are you overclocking?
    3. How do you have your games configured in the NV control panel?
    4. Have you tried a clean install of the display driver and if so, what process did you use?

    I'm recommending you to try the 260.99 driver. I have been using it for about a week or two and many of my gaming issues are gone.
