I am currently running a core i3 530 and have experienced poor peformance in titles like left for dead 2 also in modern warfare 2 (1440x900) I expierence slow down in games along with subtle audio distortion. On left for dead 2 Parish level was unplayable, I find this laughable given my last system was a single core socket 939 amd 3700 with 2 gb of generic ram and a random pos power supply and a 8600gt. I run the audio at 16bit cd quality and 44,100hz pretty standard for integrated, all game settings were at low resolution AA off vertical sync off textures to low or medium AF. Off I am considering a bios flash but notes on gigabyte website for revision are not promising.
ANY HELP APPRECIATED THANKS!
