Hey everyone, im recently having an issue with extremely low FPS in all the games I play for no apparent reason. I built this computer about 6 months ago equipped with the following...
intel p4 3ghz with 800mhz FSB
Gigabyte mainboard (AGP 8x)
nvidia BFG 6800GT OC 256mb card (AGP 8x)
1GB DDR pc3200 RAM (2 512 running dual channel)
When i first built the computer it ran like gold, i mean 100% flawless... 60-100FPS in even the most demanding games.... Recently, however, im getting 10-20FPS in major cities in WoW... 10-20FPS when im playing CS source... and i noticed when i Alt+tab to check CPU usage when im running these games it seems abnormally high... I used windows selective startup to make sure i have no background apps eating my memory... I know this video card is enough beef to handle just about any game out there with high performance, so it cant be an issue with that... Could any computer Guru's please help me figure this out?? I dont know where to start in figuring this out. Thanks
Mitch
