Hello.
This is a problem I've been having for a while now. What happens is this: I'll be playing a game at a decent FPS, then my FPS will randomly drop to horrendous levels. This happens in quite a few games - such as Prototype, WoW, Battleforge, Trine demo, among others. I can't for the life of me figure out why. As far as I know, all of my drivers are updated. Any help would be appreciated. -Also, sorry if this is in the wrong board.-
I'll put DxDiag info below.
