FPS issue
I recently built a new PC with a patriot SSD, quad core i5 at 2.88 Ghz, 4 gigs of ram on a gigabyte P55 board, ATI 5850, and windows 7 64 bit. My old PC was a core 2 at i think 2.4 and a GTS8800 320 MB with 2 gigs of system mem and XP pro.
That said, this new setup should run games far better. And it does for the most part. But like with my old system when the action gets real fast and heavy the FPS slows till it's probably a couple FPS and is unplayable. This also happened on my old PC, but it had to be either the drive being accessed or memory. Yet now i have double the memory and a SSD with trim activated and i can't understand why this is happening. I have 3 times the ram on the video card too, plus it's a much faster card. Even when i dropped the game settings to about medium like my old PC i still get this. any idea what i might look at?
