I'm getting ridiculously low FPS in flash games such as the ones on newgrounds.
I have Vista OS, 3.00 GHz processor, series 7 geforce graphics card, and 4GB RAM.
16MB Broadband Internet.
I know my hardware can handle it.
There seems to be no problem running ordinary games (for example: Bioshock) at their maximum settings but a simple 2D flash game on the internet is extremely sluggish.
Now I've tried everything I could think of:
- Set my system performance to disable fancy Vista visuals.
- Closed every single non-used program (and I do mean everything, sidebar, MSN, anti-virus... Even automatic updates) via task manager and allocated firefox.exe's priority to High.
- Disk defragmentation.
- Installed the latest version of Abode flash.
- Set the graphics on the game's setting to Low.
- Disabled all on screen browser advertisements with Adblock.
- Downloaded the game's SWF file and played using a SWF viewer.
- I even went as far as formatting my PC and starting from scratch.
EDIT:
- Tried Internet Explorer. Same as Firefox.
- Tried various other sites that host flash games. All the same.
So far none of these methods have worked. I'm not computer-retarded but I'm not a genius either. My only guess is the motherboard is f***ed, but I don't see how that can be possible when even Crysis is playable on Medium settings. Yet simple flash games seem to slow my FPS to a crawl.
Here's a picture of how slow it's running on Sonny, without me even using any spells or anything:

Any suggestions?
