In "new" games like Oblivion, Condemned, and Cthulu...I can play just fine for about 3 minutes, then the game gets very slow/choppy for about 15 seconds, and the cycle repeats itself.
If I turn resolution to 1024 or below, it goes away mostly. If I keep it at 1200+, it continues. Older games like BF2 and Warcraft III don't get me this problem. I have no idea what the problem could be. I tried changing a whole different bunch of nvidia forceware drivers but the problem remains.
My 7800GTX idles at around 52-59C, and hits about 80 at full load. Could it be a heat issue? I have two intakes and two outakes (including one intake on the side right over the GPU). Has anyone else had this type of problem? It's driving me MAD!
