Mine was having similar issues due to some kind of driver clash, i reinstalled windows 7 and its working perfectly fine now. Also try updating to the new 304.xx beta drivers, that also increased my performance.

Download EVGA Precision X and keep things at stock clocks, make a custom fan profile (mine goes up 10% or so for ever 5 degrees roughly, at 70 degrees Celsius its at 100% fan speed) and also go into the on screen display monitoring and enable core clock, temp, and voltage in on screen display and start gaming, watch the temp, if its not over heating and all of a sudden your core clock drops dramatically, you have the same issue i did.
To resolve that issue, use EVGA Precision X to raise the Voltage of the card to anything over your current stock setting (i personally have it maxxed, but thats because i have it OC'd max is 1.088 volts)
That should fix your issue.

Edit-
My EVGA GTX460 was having several issues, i dont know if it is an issue with the Fermi based cards or if i just have a finicky card, but doing what i have mentioned has worked so far.

Similar problem on GTX 460. No, No, and No. It's stuck on 25 MHz until I reboot. Switch to Frame rate target, bump voltage, turn fan on full speed (it's only 48° at idle anyway). It's stuck on 25 MHz.

Oh, looky in the notes for the beta drivers:

Fixes an issue where some manufacturer’s factory overclocked cards default to and run at lower clocks.

I generally stay away from beta drviers but I guess I have to try this.
