Default GPU Spikes every ~5 seconds

Im having a strange issue. Every 5 seconds about i get a spike in my GPU processors. I run dual Geforce GT 650M's in SLI mode. I have tried running only one, and i get the same issue. The spike is only when EQ is my current window. if it is in background, as in right now while im on Chrome, it does not spike my GPU. It only occurs when EQ is top window. Also i run a dual display. The spikes are in no way related to game activity, in this SS i was looking at a wall for all spikes, and my GPUs are capable of far more than EQ.

I have updated drivers, tried running 1 card, tried SLI, tried restarting, updated windows. Not sure what else to do, but its getting annoying!

Here is a SS of the lag spikes that my GPU monitors show.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have only been noticing error since the latest patch, about. Not sure if it was happening before but i am just now noticing it.

Have you tried lowering the max frame rate in EQ?

Task Manager says it's definitely EQ causing it? Just because it happens when EQ is the the top window doesn't mean EQ is causing it.

What kind of EQ settings do you have in place? In particular shadows option.

Just because the card is capable of a simple game such as EQ the game video settings still might need to be tweaked to get it to work.
