So it seems that you screw to much on your overclock settings!
Running COOL components means not that they are balanced to work good together! ;-)
Try to set all (especialy your VGA) to normal clock! Seems to be your biggest bottleneck. I had never 99% GPU load im mech lab - it was some around 30-40%
Try also different CPU FSB frequency to match the clock of your RAM. If you choose a wrong value here you can run an overclocked RAM with less throughput then with standard settings! :-)
Thanks for the thoughts...
Having said that, this is the only game or application (I use GPU acceleration in Photoshop as well) that this happens to, and I've been doing this level of overclocking for a long time. Re:running cool, I do run cool. I run cooler than box-stock air cooled rigs with no overclocking at all. Just for grins though, I did drop the card down to defaults just to see and the same thing happened.

But seriously you should be at 40 fps give or take a little with that card, but you did answer your own question in that post, "when its bugging". So when its bugging email support with the omicron log and dxdiag, presuming that it only happens in this game.
I also recall ages ago about people with dual cores having issues with this game, but that was probably fixed since i haven't heard in a while about it.
I'll bug them. I don't expect much in the way of an answer since fps bugs of one kind or another...like the fps crash to 4 fps...have been around for a very very long time. It's not CPU-bound, neither core hits 100%, so it has to be something somewhere else that's spinning the card up like that. Thanks for the thoughts.
