i have an evga gtx 560ti, 2gb SC edition. today, all games that i play are unplayable. i only play arma 2 and arma 3 right now, but both are taking extremely long times to load. when the game finally does load, its like im running it on settings that are far above what its capable of, even in arma 2 (which doesnt require much cpu or gpu to run).
once arma 2 loads (arma 3 loaded and it was unplayable), the game goes from running smooth to a massive slow down for sometimes up to 10 seconds, then it picks up for a random number of seconds, then slows back down.
i have evga precision x open. no overclocking on my gpu, but my cpu (phenom II x 4 955) is overclocked on a 17.5x multiplier, 1.3 voltage and no BSODs ever.
the thing i noticed is, when the slowdown would happen in game, my video clock frequency goes from 900mhz to 405mhz. when it picks back up to 900mhz, the game picks back up.
its never done anything like that before, and im wondering if thats a sign that its on the way out. i already fresh installed the latest drivers for my card, clean install. the only other things i can think to test are taking it out and trying the onboard video card, see how it does, or plug it into my wifes computer, install arma 2/3 and see how it goes on hers. i ran VMST on my cideo card twice now, for about an hour, and no errors have been found.
before i format and reinstall windows (ive been planning on doing that anyways), what else can i try?
