Losing FPS in game, help?

Here are some of the things i have tried with no avail:
-Multiple resolutions in games ( try to play in my default 1920X1080 by customizing my Video.con file but have tried at least 5 other default resolutions.
-I have tried killing various tasks before playing to see if it is something else (Avast for antivirus), Xfire, all internet explorers, etc.
-I have reinstalled BF1942 two times with no change
-I have uninstalled my antivirus and ran with none an no change.
-i have verified i am using the most recent video drivers
-i have watched temperatur and core loading through some software while playing to try to see what happens. Most times, Temperatures start around 47C and move up to 55C as i play. But, that doesn't seem abnormal to me and is similar while playing other games.
I have a Nvidia GTX650 which is plenty for this game. 4 gigs of RAM. Quad Core Intel.
I am running two monitors but run BF1942 on my wide screen.
I have a cheesy sound card, and wonder if that is an issue but i had it before reformatting with no issues.
Other than that, i cant think of anything else besides full refortmat and try fresh.
I am running Win7 32 bit.
Anyone have any ideas? The nature of it being about exactly 10-15 mins each and every time makes me skeptical it is some program doing it to me whether malware or a conflict.
Thanks.

The way to do that in-game is open console with the tilde key ~, and type in this command and hit enter "renderer.lockfps XXX" with X being whatever value you want. If you're on a 120 fps monitor I'd go with 120 or 60, 60 fps monitor 60 or 30 etc etc.
If that doesn't work someone else may be able to help, if all else fails I'd try re-installing the game

That doesn't sound good! Unfortunately the only thing I can think of at this stage would be to try locking your FPS at a certain value and hope that stops it sliding down.

ok going to try this today. is there a way to add this to a .con file so that it does it automatically? im in game now and it seems i have to do it every level.

It has gotten better with this LockFPS command, but still not perfect or the way it used to be. It is holding longer before some lag starts but hasn't progressed to as much lag.
Do you know what the numbers mean when you type" Console.showfps 1 ? There are 3 numbers in ( ). I noticed that my far right number, when the lag starts, gets up to 600-1200%) where as when it first starts the level, it is down below 20%.

I had similar issues that went away with a decent sound card and updated sound card drivers.
I am starting to think it could be the sound card. i have such a crappy sound card that i bought because it had an Optical output so i can run my sound through my receiver. it cost like $15-20.

I would make sure the motherboard's onboard audio is disabled and update the sound card drivers if needed. Then check the in game performance before buying anything new.

I haven't played the game with sound in years tbh.
