Have you checked what your cpu and gpu usages are in game?

no. i dont think so. and btw, i was considering getting another gtx 460 and running them SLI, but im not entirely sure they would run. i've never had an SLI setup so im not too sure on what im doing. im not entirely sure my motherboard supports it. here's my video card and motherboard.

and here is the 460 i wanted to get

the main reason im not sure they would work is because i have a 768mb version and the one i wanted to get was 1gb.
 
You are correct. Your motherboard does not support SLI. So you can only use a multi gpu configuration if you switch to AMD.

Just to answer your other question you can't have the 1gb and 760mb in SLI. They need to have the same amount of memory.

Do you run any software in the background while gaming?

No. not that I know of. Just usually fraps and what ever is normally running. I don't really shut down specific programs. But when I do run other programs, I never usually leave them running.

I honestly feel like the questions I'm asking are going no where, and I feel like its just wasting both of our time, but what programs are normal? Firefox is a Resource hog, and if you're recording with Fraps that is your main issue.

I'm really sorry. But I'm not sure what to answer. And I'm not recording, I just have fraps on for the fps. When I say "normal" applications are running, I just mean what ever windows normally runs. I don't mess with that stuff. I never have. Just what ever is running, is running. And anything that I run (firefox, team viewer, skype, etc) I close. Basically anything I intentionally opened, I close. With the exception of avast.

I honestly Have no idea then... Which games are the worst in terms of FPS? -_^

Black ops, assassins creed brotherhood, and crysis 1 are the worst I'd say. I understand I'm not going to get very high frame rates on crysis anyway, but graphic settings make absolutely no difference. I know I said it does that with pretty much all my games, but this one is pretty bad. I can go from 640x480 on all the lowest settings to 1920x1080 to high with very little difference. I only notice a difference on very high (1080p). But ya, like I said it does this for pretty much all the games I listed, but those are probably the worst from all of them if I had to pick.
 
What are your temps like? If your fan isn't spinning up your card may be overheating, which will negatively impact performance. Do you have the latest drivers installed? It is quite a peculiar situation.

ok, well my temps use to never go over 60c, but i've had it overclocked for a while now and i've noticed it goes up to about 68c now. once i had it to 70c, but its always between 60-68 the hottest. and no, its not the overclock that is messing up my games, this problem started beforehand.

and yes, i have the latest drivers. i check every few days.

It was worth a shot. Have you tried stability testing it to see if it returns any errors?
