I recently purchased an x1900xtx.For the few couple of days it was working perfectly,getting an averageof 100fps+ in FEAR,same with HL2 and CSS.About 4 or 5 days after installation I noticed a graphical glitch in Guild Wars (cant link yet) .The game never crashed,the framerate was fine,but it was just there.
Now to Fear...for the 2 days I had it,it ran perfectly at maximum settings.I remember being in spectatior mode on Office when I hit a light on the cieling and saw the shadows from the rails move along with the lighting.=D It was purrty.In the menus the gave would be at 600fps+ or 1000fps+ depending on which menu.While actually playing,my fps was an average of 100fps+.But about 3 days ago using fraps the FPS was suddenly just capped at 76fps...it would nver go any higher but did go lower a lot easily than when there was no fps cap.I tried hitting the same light in spectator mode,it swayed back in forth light before but there were no shadows,but I could see the glare from the light gleam on the rails.By accident though,I put my computer in sleep mode from a button on my keyboard which locks the pc in vista.When I logged back in my fps had went back to normal,not being capped at 76fps but was at 100fps+.When I did this though there was a strange low screeching noise coming from,I guess,my video card.I closed the game and it stopped.Shortly after I started the game back up again...and the fps was still at 1000fps+ in the menus.I decided to restart my computer,and after doing so the game was once again locked at 76fps untill I lcok the pc and sign back in.Going through the menus while the fps was 1000+,the screeching noise went from many various frequencies but Fear runs perfectly.THe shadows and all are there and the performance is great,I just worry about the noise.I reinstalled my drivers,and while it fixed the Guild Wars problem it didnt fix Fears problem.
^_^ Well,thats the story.I tried to be specific so it can get fixed as quickly as possible...>.> please help.
