Hi everyone,
I need help on how to diagnose what is causing me to have lower FPS than expected.
I can't put my finger on exactly when I started having issues as I took a break from gaming on my PC.
My spec is as follows,
Gigabyte UD3R Motherboard
Intel i7 920 D0 @ 3.8ghz
6gb OCZ Triple Channel 1600mhz RAM
Asus ATI 5850 @ 850/1150
Corsair Pro AX850 PSU
I first noticed the problems whilst playing Dirt 2, it looked a bit jittery like I was getting low FPS so I ran the built in benchmark and I got an average FPS of 23.17, with a min of 17.68, I had run this same benchmark in March 2010 and had an average FPS of 71.31, min 57.74. I didn't persue the matter too much as I don't play the game much.
Yesterday I decided to play some Battlefield Bad Company 2, and again my FPS was considerably lower than what I expected, I was running Fraps and was struggling to keep 30fps in general play but in a fire fight with grenades going off the fps would drop to 12!
What sort of tools can I run to help me diagnose where my problem lies?
My CPU is prime stable and I can run Furmark without issue too.
