Hi,

I have a weird problem. My Graphics card lowered it's performance today.
It happened this morning when i tryed to play CoD2 and my FPS lowered to 50, constant.
So i ran 3DMark06 and i was shocked! 6647 3DMarks! Like 1500 Marks lower than before, that was about 8050 Marks.

First thing i would check do is open the case up and check to see if any of the power cables are loose or have come off.

I found the problem!! :D

After i did the test i thought of the CPU so i ran the Fi-Bench 4 and it showed like 20 seconds, with only one Thread.
So I had a look at my clock speed when it was performing the test for the 2nd time it didn't change from 1.6Ghz to 2.13GHz what normaly should, because I turned Speedstep on in my BIOS. Then i turned the Speedstep off in the BIOS and performed the Fi-Bench 4 test and it showed about 18 seconds for each of 2 threads. After that I ran the 3DMark06 for the last time, and enjoyed higher FPS than before :D.

Results:
Before Problem:-8065 Marks
Problem:----------6675 marks
Now:---------------8151 Marks!!

Thank you for the help you offered, Some way it lead me to a Solution! :D

Maybe malware/virus. Also, try the 174.74 betas, theyre really nice Seems speedstep is a form of malware, since everyone is just turning it off
