Hello there!
I was wondering if you guys could help me with a problem regarding a friend. He is using the motherboard ASRock N68C-S, with the GPU ATI Radeon 4870. Three different makes have been tried, club 3d, gainward, and now sapphire. This GPU seems to work on other motherboards however. The main problem is that whilst running a game (e.g. BC2, Arma II etc.) it will slow down from 60fps to an uncomfortable 18fps for no reason. Any ideas?
 
The parts have been pretty much identical when testing against other motherboards. We guess it may be due to it changing from 3D to 2D mode or something along those lines perhaps? Please clear this up if it is wrong.
 
He has done this, temperature does not seem to be an affecting factor, due to the temperatures being at different extremities varying from GPU to GPU, and the same disappointing result has always played out. Thankyou for your help though!
