well while playing wow all of a sudden my GPU usage has started to drop while playing WoW.

it only started happening after an hour or so of gaming. set a fligthpath and it started to drop my fps every 5-15 secs. causes a big hitch and while raiding makes it impossible to play.

no OC on it and it is set to prefer max performance. i have V-Sync on ingame - use app in nvidia menu.

please help me.

my CPU is a i7 2600 (non K) it has a OC on it upto 4.2 (i checked its stable and temps are fine). i noticed my CPU is anywhere from 10-50% usage with no huge drops unlike my GPU.

EDIT - seems restarting the game has fixed it but i would like to leave this thread open incase it keeps happening. i was gaming for just over an hour, restarting isnt always in an easy situation.
