I haven't been into overclocking for a year or so. I feel like my computer isn't as chipper. For example, i'm playing Fallout New Vegas on medium settings (1680 x 1050) and sometimes my FPS drops to 10-20FPS.

When I used to OC I think "3dmark6" was the program to use to benchmark. At that time 3dmark Vantage was just released but no one liked it so it was used.

Figure out if the problem is GPU or CPU related. Run taskmanager in the background and look at the graphs after exiting just when you see the problem.

The CPU shoots up to about 60%. I can't imagine the game maxing out a 3.4ghz quad core. Then again, I also can't imagine it maxing out my GPU (GTX 260) which is overclocked to speeds of a stock GTX 295.
 
i was had the same problem with New Vegas and have similar system i oc'd my cpu and gpu with no improvement. update your game and search google "Nvidia d3d9 perf fix" i think you will find it will run nice and smooth on high settings
