Hi, I am having gaming withdrawals. A few days ago I reinstalled my graphics driver because it was acting up funny (random black screen that lasted a few second). After my gfx card update, everything seemed fine for a day. The next few days i started getting extremely terrible fps issues, and specifically only in multiplayer games (tf2, minecraft). In single player my fps is amazing.

I noticed my fps would be at its worst when i would look at a bunch of players or in a big fire fight. Typically before i had this problem i would get 100-200 fps, no sweet. The only changes I have made recently is just installing avg anti-virus and thats it. I have had this build for almost 2 years now and this is the first time im having fps issues.

I ran a benchmark test using Heaven Benchmark 4.0 on extreme and my score was 1203, which is right around where it should be when i compared it with other people. I re-installed my gfx card driver directly from nvidia and even from evga and neither times resolved my issue. I feel like this is a driver issue of somesort but i feel lost because i dont know what else to do. Any help, i would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading this.
