hi i've recently purchased a GTS 450 which worked great when i got it for about a month. it ran everything at max settings with playable or reasonable fps (Including Starcraft 2). Recently now, only when i play SC2, whenever there is a large amount of units on the field it lags to 1 fps. But when i play other games like Champions Online at Max settings in windowed mode i still recieve high fps. I would also like to mention, while i am playing sc2, if i alt tab and surf the web etc. it does not lag one bit until i alt tab back into game which is still getting 1fps. Also, the temperature of the card while playing is 50s degrees C while playing SC2 which is when i get 1 fps; however, when i play champions online its at 70 degrees celcius and it doesnt lag one bit. so i dont think its a heat issue
I ran the Diagnostics that came with my HP PC and the test was fine except when i ran the wireframe test. it was extremely laggy when that went on. not sure if this is normal.
PC specs are:
Athlon II X4
8GB memory
GTS 450
1TB HD
Windows 7 64-bit
ps. i have tried upgrading my drivers, doing all the tune up i could think of to fix this problem but was unsuccessful.
Please Help!
Thank you!
