Hello. I am having some odd issues running games on my machine.
World of Warcraft reports that it is running 60fps on the ingame fps counter with everything maxed out on ultra, but goes insanely slow when ever i turn, but when walking straight it is fine.
Also, I am getting some HEAVY artifacts when I turn on antialiasing. This occurs in Skyrim as well. I'm not sure if this counts as slow fps, but whenever I'm walking it does the same thing as wow, however every few steps it will freeze for a second, the nreturn to normal, then freeze for a second again. Also, Skyrim automatically reccomends High instead of Ultra.

I think it is worth noting that this did not used to happen, but only happened after I was having issues with my pc crashing, then I blew everything away and completely reinstalled Windows 7, and all of my drivers.
I really hope someone can help me, and I really appreciate any input. Thank you!

note** With WoW, turning the view distance to the minimum fixes it, but i don't believe with the rig I have that I should have to use minimum, tell me if im wrong. If anyone thinks something is wrong with my GPU, I may go all out and upgrade to ATI 7870.

System:
GPU: Asus 6850
RAM: 8gb
CPU: AMD PhenomII 1100T x6 Black Edition (3.3 GHz)
HDD: 1TB
MOBO: ASRock 870 Extreme 3
