Hello,
I have recently upgraded my motherboard an gpu to an Abit Kn8-SLI and BFG 7600gt OC vid card. However, when I first start playing a game (mostly WoW, HL2 or DoD:S) the framerates are great. 60 fps+ but after about 5 min of play it drastically drops to somewhere around 20-30 fps. If I restart my system they seem to be great fps again but the same thing happens. I have the newest nVidia drivers, directx 9.0c, I've tried reformatting, but nothing seems to help this problem. I've also tried stopping non-critical processes running on the computer. Before I had an ATI 9800 All In Wonder with no issues like this. Any thoughts on this issue would very helpful. Thanks in advance!
System:
Abit KN8-SLI
BFG 7600gt OC
Athlon 64 3500+
1gb RAM
Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS
