With my previous drivers I could run ultra at about 70-80 FPS, but now from ultra all the way to low I get contsant peaks and troughs in my fps from over 100 to less than 30. This happens regardless of my graphics settings.

Has anyone else experienced this? And more importantly, is there a fix?

My system is running 64-bit Windows 7, I7 3.4GHz quad core, 16GB of ram and a brand new GTX 770.

Can add that the 331.65 is working excellent on W8.1
