Hey guys-
So this happens after a fresh boot-up- or after the computer has been on for some hours.
The games (regardless of the graphics requirements) run choppy to the point of not being playable. After a restart- everything runs butter smooth.
The temps never get out of control. The GPU drivers are up-to-date from Nvidia.
Tried turning on Adaptive V-sync in Nvidia Control Panel- no change.
I've seen a lot of these posts on Toms, but none with a definitive solution.
Thanks in advance!
-Kev

Just to reiterate- I booted up the computer and launched Witcher 2... and it was choppy and unplayable. After a restart, it was smooth with no problems. Any help would be appreciated
