Ever since i upgraded my vid card from an 8800gtx to a gtx280, i have not been able to run AoC with a good framerate.
Here is what happend:
1. Played AoC with 8800gtx no issue on high.
2. Got the new card
3. Uninstalled my nvidia drivers for the 8800 gtx
4. Shut down installed GTX280
5. installed new nvidia drivers for 280
6. Ran Aoc and got double framerates, no problems at all.
7. Decided to tweak up my settings since to make it even better.
------------------------------BAMM!!!-------------------------------
8. Dropped to single digit framerate, never been able to get back to where i was before.
So now what happens is:
1. I go in and delete the two shader cache files that everyone talks about. try and adjust the vid settings, but its not working. It will be good for a period of time, then all of the sudden DROP hard to single digits. Even if i reboot the system, it will be low when i go back in. I know right away at the char selection screen that its slow.
I got the latest BIOS and drivers for all my stuff.
Any ideas what to try? (im dreading an AOC reinstall, but will do it if i have to)
See sig for my rig setup.
