Default 8800gts 320 problem

I recently bought this card and it feels about twice as fast as my old x1800xt, but after playing oblivion for example, the frame rate will just drop drastically and it will stay that way till I quit and restart the game. If I go to the exact same spot the frame rates will be excellent when I restart.

Does anyone else experience this?

I think it has something to do with the video memory since it just keeps growing. When I log it, it will start at around 200 and slowly grow. Once it gets more than the 320 of local memory the card just dies like its not clearing the memory for the new textures or something.

I realize its the low memory card but I really dont think it should have the effect it has. Im talking 2-3fps in an area where I normally get around 50.

Thanks for any help!
