[FONT=Segoe UI]I've got a pair of GTX 580's which are both well under a year old and I've started seeing a real decrease in playability in games, games like Dirt 2 used to be perfect with full settings, as you'd expect, but now it stutters every now and again and every few races completely freezes.[/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI]this happens in most games but dirt is where it happens the most. I have a temp monitor running in the background and the cards never seem to get above 55 degrees, a fairly aggressive fan curve keeps them down. [/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI]I've tried re-seating the cards, removing all graphics drivers and reinstalling games but nothing seems to work[/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI]I even tried old AOE III to see whether happened on non-demanding games which showed the game slowing right down at certain points then speeding up to account for it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI]Both cards are running at 880Mhz GPU, 4200Mhz Memory with the latest Nvidia drivers.[/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI]any idea's about what the best thing do do from here would be?[/FONT]
[FONT=Segoe UI]cheers [/FONT]
