hi everyone! I've been having this really severe problem with my graphics card, its been lagging a lot. whenever I open a game it runs just fine, but a few minutes or so its starts to lag really badly. I tried everything I could think of: turning down the graphics, setting it's priority, cleaning my computer, I even took suggestions from my dad, and he said that it's the caching, and that whenever it lags, the card is dumping the cache. this issue is really stopping me from gaming, I'm trying my best to ignore/ work with the lag, but is just bothers me more, and more! if anyone can help me, please do so! I have a backup plan that I might just end up doing if this doesn't get solved, and that's to by a new graphics card! the graphics card I choose to get is the Nvidia Geforce GTX somethingorother.

P.S.: I'm using Windows 8!
