Did anything change with your system between the time period where it ran well and then didn't run as well? Any driver updates? Do you have any conflicting applications running the background. If something such as an anti-virus program was auto-updating in the background, you would lose performance. Sometimes it inexplicably happens from time-to-time on my system as well, and if I am positive I made no changes to my system that would lead to lost performance, I'll just reboot my computer to make sure something isn't conflicting in the background. This works in most cases.

You could try dropping your AA to get some of that back in the mean time. The benefit vs. performance lost going from 2x to 8x AA is really not worth it.

1st of all thanks for your precious reply, ya the only thing i change during that time is i just update graphic card catalyst ver 11.9 to 12.3, also installed AMD over drive and about antivirus program before game play i just switch it to gaming profile, only background application that i opened is amd overdrive, and catalyst s/w to watch the status of GPU, CPU & Mother boards. So, please from this conclusion what i have done, is some thing wrong from me, Hey today it is more worst than before again i test the benchmarks from Batman arkham city results are Max- 40, Min 32, Min 12 :(, That's all the performance is going to be worst day by day.. Any idea please help me.

Again Thanks for your reply...

Just hazarded a guess.I too had problems with CAP v12.3 and couldn't run nfs shift without problems.However,I uninstalled the app profiles and suddenly it started to work.That's why I thought maybe uninstalling CAP would help.Check if you have accidentally enabled DX11 ? :)
 
Those temperatures, are they the maximums or averages?

Also, the AMD overdrive, just not something I'd play with unless you know exactly what you're trying to achieve with it. Check that your GPU and CPU are running at proper clock when under load.

As others suggested, try 12.2 performance drivers and make sure you still have dx11 turned off and windows power options to full performance.

If still nothing I'd uninstall the overdrive and try then.

Let us know what you find

Couple of other questions - how much of your vram is in use during gameplay? What is your GPU utilization during gameplay? Did you do any overclocking?

Also, if it worked well before you updated drivers, and after the update it didn't work well, try rolling your drivers back and see if you get your performance back.

Thanks a lot absxiith, Hexit, heids24 & antizig, :) Thanks for your great support buddy ya i have done lot of thing to max gaming performance, after installing dot net 4 and AMD fusion s/w including catalyst profile i get some new results are as Max -62, Avg-58, Min 42 :) with directx 11 off, wow!! now the bad days really gone at a time, I don't know what suited better, but your precious guidelines help me a lot,
First of all i went to the BIOS of MOBO set performance to extreme. now i proceed with above s/w installation i.e. amd fusion, catalyst profile(i never touch this app till now) than i go with a single restart. during game play batman AC, i used FPS s/w Frap & also test inbuilt benchmark. i got better FPS now, also updated Batman AC new patches.
Directx 11 have another issue, when i switched on directx 11 FPS Max -32 Avg-24, Min 12, really i unable to play after switching directx 11 on, lots of lag.
One thing i want to ask you that as per my above PC Config what will be the max fps using direct x 11 any suggestion or idea.. :(

Again thanks for solving without directx 11 solve my issue on Batman AC game play is its best now. :)
Still lots to do including my system temp is good or not, may i have to set bios to extreme, or just let my systems(including graphic card) to their standard setting(default) i have to test many times. all tweaking i wanna do to maintain the max gaming performance.

Thanks & best Regards,
Abhishek

HEXiT and absxiith - thanks for that link! I'm gonna have to try this when I get home. I was pretty disappointed that my rig with GTX 580s in SLI (resolution of 2560 x 1600) couldn't handle the game in DX11 smoothly.
