326.80 drivers seem to work better, but you shouldn't be dropping to 1-5 fps unless your card is unstable or overclocked. when nvidia cards detect an issue they will back themselves down to low clocks to prevent crashing the system. you can tell if this is happening by using some kind of GPU monitoring app like evga precision, msi afterburner, or even nvidia inspector has a sensor monitoring tool. (just alt-tab and check the clocks after you notice the FPS drop a lot. if it's at like 300 or 500 Mhz then it's downclocking itself. if this is the case, then remove any overclocks, reboot, and try again. if still persists, you may have to RMA the card)

CPU usage in excess of 90% or above is normal for this game, mine is frequently at 100% but I generally get 60+ fps on my GTX 690.
