I think this is a video card related problem but I just built a new computer and here are the specs
DFI Ultra-D mobo
2x512 PC3200
PNY 6600GT (underclocked to 450/900)
3800 Venice @ 240 x 9 (2160 MHz)
When i first put this thing together, i could play cz w/ 99 fps no matter what..recently it doesnt matter if i have my fps max set to 99 or 50 i get a ridiculous drop when I am shooting in the game to about 30 fps. My CPU runs @ about 37C when i'm playing the game and teh GPU cooler is about 47 or so. I hvae the most currently update vid drivers but this is really annoying me because i think a 6600GT should most definetly run CZ @ 99 fps
any suggestions on how to isolate hte problem, whether it is my card, cpu or teh game?
