Re: Performance gone down the drain
Doesn't sound noobish :p
Ok, I went into the Video Card drivers topic and saw there was a new version. 81.98. It was at guru 3D. But I wanted it from the official site so I got them from nVIDIA. I then ran the exe and installed, with the restarting etc. When I downloaded the 81.94 I did the same and they inproved my performance. I used no driver cleaning utility.
Then for my mobo, it told me there were new updates. To update from v637 to v666 and I installed it via the dl it gave me. It just dled it then installed it. Then restarted.
I then ran 3Dmark05 it gave me a score of 5180. I got worried and ran Bf2, the FPS was capped at 30FPS and in action it was 20FPS. Normally it's 60-70FPS and 40-50FPS.
My card's temps are around 50 idle and 70+ load. I first noticed the extreme temps at 81.94 but I never saw the temps at the 7X.XX series drivers.
Thanks for replying.

Edit: As you can see in my stats, it should not be doing this.Comment

Re: Performance gone down the drain
I don't understand this. I just ran 3Dmark05 and I scored 7310. Why has it done this???
Thanks for the interest though :p

Re: Performance gone down the drain
It runs at 40-50FPS now. But, really with my stats shouldn't it be more like 60-70?

Re: Performance gone down the drain
also when u get updated drivers i found its bets to get /or wait for a whql driver as it alot more stable on alot of cards personal i use the drivers of the
bf2 disk as there are whql certified drivers
need i metion the need for the lastest direct x drivers 9.0cComment

Re: Performance gone down the drain
^ It is whql.
Ok, I'll do that when I do my next drivers. I know I should have another 20W. But, I'm sure 500W won't last me long if I updrade later. Maybe a 550W or something. Can you reccomend any good models?
