Hi All, thank you for helping me purchase my system below (in the other hardware forum).
CPU: Intel Core i5 Processor i5-2500K 3.3GHz 6MB LGA1155
MOBO: MSI H61M-E23 (B3) Intel H61 Micro ATX DDR3 1333
RAM: Crucial CT2CP25664BA1339 4GB 2GBx2 240-pin PC3-10600 DIMM DDR3
Corsair CMPSU-430CX CX Series 430-watt Power Supply Compatible with Intel Core I7 and Core I5
STORAGE: Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Blue SATA 3 Gb/s 7200 RPM
VIDEO: On board Intel HD 3000 graphics family
SOUND: On board realtek HD audio
Anyway, when I first purchased this system (May 2011), I was able to play starcraft 2 on limited/low settings with lil to no framerate issues (I could even raise some of the graphics settings to medium and still have decent framerates).
Over the last week or two I've been having major framerate issues every time I try to run starcraft 2. Even the menu's when launching the game have gotten a bit laggy. I've tried reducing every single setting on the back end of the game, including the resolution (to the lowest) but it doesn't seem to be helping much if any.
This is really the only game I play with regularity that pushes the system's hardware. I haven't noticed issues on any other computer activity.
I've downloaded the latest Intel HD 3000 graphics drivers at intel but that didn't really solve the issue.
Anybody know why at one time I could play starcraft 2 with good framerates but suddenly now I cannot?
