FPS decreasing

October 20th, 2005, 03:27 PM

I've got the 6600GT, first time it showed 113 fps in Counter Strike Source test in Half Life 2, but now it stable shows 90-91 fps with the same options. What reasons can couse this? I have replaced the driver (77.72 to 78.01) but it doesn't make any changing. One time the system had the great glitch: on blue screen appeared the words ( i don't exactly remember but something like this) " To avoid the damage of vidioadapter the system perfomance is stopped". Ather reset there was the words "Sysem is rebuilded after serious error". Could this make phisical damage of videoadapter? If it couldn't, what is the reason of videocard speed decreasing?
In 3D Mark 2005 it shows the same result both fist time and now: 3600.

Sounds like a Power Supply issue.

hdd could be messy

pagefile could be damaged (i believe mine is currently so i've actually just cleared it on my main drive and am in the process of setting it on my secondary drive

Is the 450 W enough to the proper supply? What is the pagefile and how can i know is it damaged or it is not? How can i clear hdd? Do you mean the defragmentation or something ather?

the pagefile is where all information is stored when the ram fills up

Is it possible to see from WINOWS XP about pagefile conditions (is it damaged or not)?

Which PSU do you have?

Get www.diskeeper.com - what it is is a defragmation utility that involves defragmentating the paging file. Not only that but it does speed up drive speeds, always a plus.

This is interesting, because 3D Mark pushes your card further then most games. Having said that that mark also includes CPU rendering speed, so unless you can get that old logs and new logs and look at video card aspecs only, see if there is any difference. How you can do that i dont know though.

What is the PSU? If you mean information about system here it is:
Pentium 4 - 3GHz/2Mb/800MHz, MB ASUS/S-775/i925, GeForce 6600GT 128Mb <PCI-E>, HDD 200Gb, integrated sond card. LCD monitor 1280 ><1024.

I suppose that CPU makes the same contribution in the total score in 3DMARK2005 every time. So i fink if the total score is the same every time then the videoadapter perfomance is also the same, isn't it ?
