    Video Game lag
    « on: February 05, 2010, 06:18:07 PM »
    I have an Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT 256mb, 2 gig RAM, windows 7. My games start lagging after the first 5 minutes of gameplay. A week ago it was fine. I usually play for more than an hour or 2. I was wondering if I overworked my video card cuz like i sed it lags..
