I'm getting a strange lag problem with a couple of my games. The last time I saw a problem similar to this is when I had a failing power supply (the problem persisted out of games however.) Right now it only seems to be happening in Left 4 Dead and Mass Effect. Here are a couple short videos I took to show the lag a bit better than I can describe.
Yeah that seemed to do it with Left 4 dead. I know the PSU is a bit too small and it is struggling during resource intensive games. I'm going to hook up another PSU and see if that does the trick.
Damn.. I've got a 350 watt PSU for my video card and 1 hard drive and another 550 watt for the rest of the system and it is still doing it... Think that rules out any PSU inadequacies.
Ok well it doesnt necessarily rule out the power issue. 8800 GTs like ampage man, and the 12v rail supplies the card. your 12v needs to have 24A to be adequete, otherwise it will be jumpy under load.
Can you link some specs for the 2 PSU's ?
I can tell you with 99.9% certainty that the 350w PSU belongs in the bin
