problem
At first games that my gf played run like 10x the normal rate (guess). cheap games like divinci code and some other ones i cant remember. at first i thought it was because my computer is better then what they were design to run on but now some of my games do it. Madden 08 , GTA San Andreas ( only when inside) runs fine when outside running around the city. The games play at a super fast rate. amost like the game is on speed. But then others play fine like Rise of Nations ( which is a few yr old) Crysis, GRAW, And so on.

what i tired
disable crossfire
dumb down the graphics and upscaled them
cant think of anything else.
I had this problem b4 i upgraded to my current setup.

old setup
motherboard = asus a8r or somthing
cpu = amd 64x2 2.2ghz
ram =1gb of great value
vid = x1950 pro


current Setup

Motherboard = Asus m2r32-mvp
Cpu = Amd 64x2 6000+ (3.0) dual core
Video card = 2 x1950 pro 512mb ati radeon running in crossfire
ram= 4 1gb oxz ati crossfire cert. ram
os = Win xp pro sp2


I tried to included everything i could think of.
it's just a weird problem i never heard of a computer being to good for a game.
If anyone can help me i greatly appreciate it.
I wonder if its the processor because if it is it makes me a little worried about upgrading to the new amd 3.0ghz quad core when ever that comes out.
 
The problem is with your CPU scaling its frequency according to load.
Solution: look for a game patch or set your CPU to fixed speed
 
Once the game is launched, you need to alt-tab back to the desktop, launch the task manager & then for the game's process you set the affinity to one core. You should also install the AMD Dual Core Optimizer.
