Here is the situation. I was out a couple of days and didn't use my PC for a while. I came back and now weird things are happening - graphics wise. I launched COD Black Ops 2 Multilayer and the game runs terribly. Before, I could max everything out and get a steady 63fps with 1920x1080 resolution. Now I'm lucky to see 40fps and it will constantly drop frames thus making the game unplayable.
Here is what I did. I verified the integrity of game cache, I reinstalled the game, updated GPU drivers and tested the GPU with FurMark getting a score in the 2800+ range.
At this point I'm completely at a loss. Was a new update rolled out the screwed things up? Is my GPU failing? I've also noticed that when launching the web browser it would sometimes show blue dots on top (kind of like a pixel issue) but they disappear upon minimizing.
If anyone knows what the cause could be all help is appreciated.
Here are my specs BTW:
CPU: AMD FX 6300
Motheroboard: ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: Mushkin Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory (
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 500W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V Power Supply
