Hi
I am having a very weird problem since I built my new gaming rig and have tried everything I can think of to sort the problem but to no avail. When i am playing a game of say Company of heroes and the loading screen(mission breifing) ends my fps is shown at 20-30fps....I then alt-tab out of the game and go back in and the FPS is 60-70 at the exact same place? The game will then be fine and run at about 60-70fps until the next level starts at which point the fps will drop back down again until I alt-tab out and it returns to 60-70 again. I also get the problem in Oblivion where I will load into a new area and the fps will be about 20 and stutter like mad....alt-tab and go back in and its 50-60 and smooth as butter?
I have tried everything I can think of including running my oc'd 8800GTS at stock speeds, Running my oc'd E6600 at stock, installin ms hotfix for dual core, setting affinity to single core etc....Im not sure if it's a problem with dual core or even the cpu itself but I just don't know what to do. My specs are as follows:-
E6600 & 3.3GHZ (370*9)
2GB Geil ULL DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 (740mhz)
Asus P5B Deluxe/Wifi (Latest Bios 1004)
BFG Geforce 8800GTS 320mb (Latest Nvidia Drivers)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB Sata2
Creative Audigy 2
Windows XP SP2
Any ideas what to do? Thanks in advance.
