I noticed recently in some highly demanding games like crysis 3 and battlefield 3 there is a considerable difference in fps, enough to take from playable to 30fps and below. I ran 3dmark 11 in performance mode and saw that there was 500 point difference from before (P9219 to P8740) I know there is some variation but not that much I re-ran the test a few times and got the same. I was wondering what could cause this and if there is a way to tell what has let me down from the 3dmark results.

Well I was wondering if the 3dmark could show any problems because of its breakdown of specific performance but i cant really think of anything else to say there are no other symptoms the pc is just not performing as fast. I did have a few crashes a week or two ago like when I was playing demanding games but they stopped all of a sudden and I haven't had them since so I don't know if they are connected it was a like 5 or 6 pc crashes within a few days.



Don't...
