Make sure you are not preloading textures to video RAM.  Unfortunately, the 84.xx NVidia video drivers have a memory management issue when textures have to be swapped around a lot.
The earlier drivers do not have this problem, but you cannot use the earlier drivers with your video card.

Try setting the maximum texture size to 256.  This will reduce the texture swapping.
