So, I can be playing just about any game (WoW and Vindictus mostly.) And I can run just fine at 30fps or so depending on the game/settings. Then, all of a sudden, my frame rate drops down to like... 4-10 for a minute or two, then back up to a playable frame rate, around 30, and sometimes it will spike even upto 60, which is fantastic.
This does NOT just happen when there are lots of particles, lots of models, etc. The drop OR spike to 60 can happen during big boss encounters with lots of flashes and particles and shadows, or when I'm idle doing nothing in the middle of nowhere. i've tried shutting off background problems, but I'm still not sure whats up.
