I recently purchased a new PC with a FX-8120 CPU and an AMD Radeon HD 6850 GPU, 8GB of RAM.
It ran everything fine for a while, but after a while of running this machine, frame rates started to lower on some games. Skyrim was the first I noticed, it loads with a frame rate of less than 10, so it's completely unplayable. I thought the graphics were too much for a little, but then I turned the graphics down, and it was the same. I tried playing other games too, like Resident Evil 4 and both the Dx 9 and Dx 10 versions of Resident Evil 5. RE4 had the same problem as Skyrim, frame rates dropping at an extreme level, RE5 Dx 9 took ages to even load, but RE5 Dx 10 ran perfectly.
I've recently updated my BIOS, and my GPU drivers, but the new driver says it should have Dx 9 support. Do I have to change settings or something on my driver to "activate" the DX 9 support? This is a big inconvenience since a lot of games still use Dx 9.0c, especially most of the ones I have at the moment.
Please respond if you know of a fix. Thank you
