Odd FPS problem.

Goomba · 06-03-2007, 09:41 PM

Hello. Just last night, all of my games started having low FPS. Unreal Tournament 2004 and Quake 3 Arena both have bad fps, for some reason. That's not all, however... Get this. When I play a flash game on addicting games or whatever, I get bad fps in those also! Is there something wrong with my graphics card? I don't update my drivers because when I do, it makes my games all sluggish. It started last night out of nowhere. I rebooted and no luck.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Goomba.

Hi Goomba.

If you haven't already, run though the First Steps.

Try running a virus scan and also doing a defrag.
Do you clean your PC regularly? If there is a buildup of dust it can cause overheating which leads to some pretty serious lag.
