Steam games Major FPS Drop
Hey everyone, I'm Existence.
I recently installed Windows 7 build 7000 x64, and I love everything about it. It is definitely going to be my main OS, however, I have one problem. Whenever I play any Steam/Valve game (TF2, HL2, CS:S, L4D), my FPS is extremely low. I get maybe 20-40 FPS, whereas if I boot my XP partition I get 90-150.
I have a Radeon HD 4670, Athlon 64 3800+ X2, and 6 GB of ram.
I disabled the Aero effects whenever I play, and try to keep background processes to a minimum.
Also, I think it may be my CPU. When I have task manager on my second monitor, and I play a game, the CPU usage is always 80-100%.
Any help is appreciated.
