Lately I have noticed that all my games have been performing like crap. No matter what settings used I still get FPS of about 30 with drops to the mid-teens. Running several monitoring programs I found out that neither my CPU, GPU or Ram was ever pegged above 75%. I turned to CPU-z and found this:
There is no setting in the bios for this. Every driver, firmware, and bios is up to date. Recent hardware changes have been a 320GB HD with Vista and upgrade to 4GB ram. At first I thought it was vista related, but I went to vista 64 because I thought something was wrong with my 2 year XP Pro SP3 32bit install; but the problem is the exact same. The hardware changes took place when going to vista, so I don't think it could have been that. Also all firmware and Bios have been the same for about 2 months with the last one being just a DVD drive firmware update.
Specs:
Gigabyte DS3 P965 Rev.1
E6400 B2 @ 3GHZ @ 1.375V
4GB Ram 667/750 4-4-4-10 2V
HD4850 512 Core: 625/725 Ram: 2000/2300MHZ (Not overclocked yet since going to vista)
