hello everyone,
i am scratching my head as to why my games are getting choppy. for example i am playing postal 3 and it is using the source engine from HL2 here. according to the specs for the game my system more than matches the max requirements but it doesn't run smooth. i am running the game at high detail on a 23" monitor at a resolution of 1920x1080 are the system specs for it:

the only thing i can think of ids the resolution is too much for my GPU to handle but even at low settings it is still not smooth
