Hey guys... I just got a new BFG 7800GS OC from newegg... clocks are at 400/1250
Anyway, I installed it, connected the HDD/VGA power connecter to the card and booted into windows, everything is ok at this point... I proceed to install the 93.71 XtremeG drivers, restart etc..
I load World of Warcraft and begin to set my video settings, at this point the FPS is fine... I max ingame details out, resolution to 1280x1024.. 4x AA 16x AF. The FPS is fine still.. about 45fps in Org and 30-ish at the bank/AH clusterfest. I leave Org and head outside into Durator and after about 30 seconds outside all of a sudden my FPS plummets to 6-10 fps... what is the deal?? I have tried other sets of drivers such as the 91.45 XTremeG and the official 93.71, same issues... but now its right away, even in the character selection screen.. you can clearly see the FPS is low, sure enough in game.. 20 FPS in the enterance to Org and 8-10fps outside...
I have also tried CS: Source and the FPS is in the low 20's on de_aztec, T spawn.
Specs:
Athlon 2600+ XP-M @ 2.4ghz... 1.8v
2GB RAM, Crucial Ballistix
DFI Infinity NF2 ultra 400
36gb WD Raptor
BFG 7800GS oc @ stock
600w OCZ Powerstream
Anyone know any known issues or a setting that needs to be changed or what?
