Hey all,
Starting today I've noticed a problem when playing any games that was not happening at all yesterday... I'm not entirely sure if it is the video card responsible for the problem, however it is troubling none the less... Basically whenever I launch a game, it plays smoothly for about 10 to 15 minutes, however it then starts to get very choppy... the FPS might read 50-60fps however the it drops to 0 every second or so, creating a semi-slideshow appearance... if I stop looking across and look just at the floor, the games run smoothly...
My graphics card is a 6870 which I've only had for about a year and a half... my case doesn't run exceptionally hot or anything...
Outside of that, there haven't been any graphical artifacts, something I noticed on a much older card when it was on the way out...
Any help as to what could suddenly be the problem would be much appreciated!
