Why is my Fraps going lower and lower by days?

[dontsaywtf]

Parts:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 250 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_rtm.090713-1255)


I just build this like a month ago. When I first got it the Fraps were going at above 35 for all games. Now the most obvious problem im getting right now is that when a week ago i run Drift City at max settings i got 50 fraps and today I got on and it runs at 18... at the lowest then It stays at 24-28. Another problems is when I play crossfire my fraps were like 200 use to and now it is at 70 and lower.

Why is this happening? Did i set my grraphich card setting wrong? Thanks.

try setting at nvidia control panel the graphic setting to "balanced" that should solve your problems or better off install new drivers..

The number of people that complain of slowness due to dust amazes me. Have you checked the card for dust and tried to blow compressed air through the cooler?

What is your temp? Run GPUz and see if it is going up and/or your clocks are going down.
