ATI Radeon HD 3200 Frame Rate Problem

[Deadtree19]

Hello, this is my first posting on this forum.

I am currently having problems with my graphics when playing graphically intense games. Regardless of game, there is a massive loss of frame rates, which is quite atypical of my computer, which normally runs everything very smoothly. It was really an over night switch, from "hey I'm your computer and I love playing games" to "oh no more games for you." This is very upsetting and puzzling. In order to fix this, I have:

Done a virus scan
Done a spyware scan
defragged my hard drive
installed new drivers for the graphics card

I checked some more things, and discovered that my computer claims that the drivers for the "Multimedia Video Controller" are out of date. I honestly have no idea what that is, what it's function is, or why it may be preventing me from playing Dragon Age, where last week it was running just fine.

Any suggestions would be met with gratitude and joy.

Can we assume that Windows 7 64-bit is fully updated, and that your have DX11 properly installed? Select RUN and type DXDIAG enter. From what you posted, this is your problem

 

[license27kill]

let's clear things and our minds up..

it's and HD series from Mr. ATI..

and HD from them focuses on the " midrange " or " budget " users..

so if you want to have a " intense " game experience..

well, my friend, you might wanna go for 2nd best.

that all..
