Lately, when playing CS after 20 or 30 minutes my fps will suddenly drop. I normally can pull 99 fps in the game but after a certain amount of time my fps will start to fluctuate around 60. The game seems slightly sluggish, and I can only regain my original 99 fps by rebooting my computer. Also, I notice that when this occurs I can exit the game and my entire computer seems a little slower than normal.
Could this be because of a lack of RAM? Seems to me that for a game like Counter Strike I wouldn't need a ton of RAM. Any thoughts?
