OK here's what I managed over the weekend. I went and researched this issue and heard many complaints from others who have nvidia cards that issues became apparent with driver versions beginning with 180.15. I used a program to completely remove the drivers and clean the registry. I had an issue come up then that was an eye opener but more of that in a moment.
After installing the older 179 series drivers I expected the problem to go away, but alas; after a minute of flight time, you guessed it! FPS in the single digits. And I had so much hope.
While I was using the windows default drivers my dual monitors become cloned rather than spanned. After a few minutes of work, the screens went black. I had to do a restart to get the monitors back online. SO perhaps it is a hardware problem requiring replacement of the video card after all!
