Hey folks.
I built this system a few months ago, and the last couple of days I've noticed my FPS has dropped quite a bit. WoW went from 75-80 FPS down to 60-70. It's a small drop, but it's making me mad that I can't figure out what did it. The only thing that's changed is adding a second monitor. Could that cause that big of a drop? It's the same brand as my other one. The primary is hooked up to DVI and the secondary is on the HDMI.
System specs below. None of the drivers are out of date according to SlimDrivers. The GPU temp sits at 60-65c with one game running and a couple of browser tabs open. I'm still fairly new to hardware issues, so any help would be lovely.
