Huge fps drop after 10-20 min

I'm currently having problem where after spending aproximately 10-20 min in game the fps drops somewhere below 10 (completely unplayable) and stays there until I restart the whole client. The screen goes black for 4 seconds before the fps drops. And this is kinda ruining my game experience as I can't get in dungeons due to the about 30 min queue :(

So is anyone else having the same problem or happens to know anything about this, especially a way to fix this :confused:

computer overheating maybe?

I don't think that's the case because the game runs really smoothly besides this "crash" and my computer barely heats. And regarding my computer's composition it shouldn't have any problems running the game performance wise.

But I should specify that I'm using, Intel i7 3770, Asus Geforce GTX 660-ti (top), Asus P8Z77V-PRO (motherboard).

Download and install http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ to monitor gpu temp and load it really does sound like your machine is overheating. I would also monitor your CPU temps (Intel's throttle whereas AMD's chug along till death). 10-20 mins is about the right amount of time for temps to level out.

Nvidia inspector also shows GPU temperatures. This game is very GPU intensive - I sit at 80%+ GPU load at all times (which generates lots of heat)

yesterday I played all the day without a problem, today after the patch can't really play at ultra, after few min the game goes crazy, fps drop, the nvidia driver crash and also after i close the game the whole pc lags, I have to reboot. On normal settings it seems ok.

near same configuration i7 3770 + asus 670
