I have an NVidia 480 gpu, the past month or so it's been acting slow. Had to turn down my graphics settings in many games ( primarily borderlands and LoL) I recently benchmarked it and got the following

if we look at the community benchmarks ( http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+480 ) you can see that mine is much lower than the average.


i tried doing a clean update of the drivers as well as cleaning out the card ( wasn't much dust though ) but it didn't seem to help at all.
