Brian,
I don't know whether it helps, but I see this on a Windows-8.1/64 PC
running the signed kernel-mode PPS driver. It's a GPS 18x LVC which is
driving it, powered of 5V from a USB port. I don';t know at the moment
what the Garmin is set to output. It's on the latest firmware: 3.90.
Realtime priority (set by the program) and affinity mask is for all rour
processors (i5-3330 chip).

Sorry for the wrap!
General performance of that PC is here:

Not sure how to proceed, but if I can be of help, I will.
