Hello all.

specs are in the sig.

I was playing avatar earlier and all was fine. gpu was at a utilization of 99% with a temp of 59-62c. Cpu was at around 32% utilization with a temp of 56c. system mem was around 24gb utilization. gpu memory was at around 15000 utilization.

I turned the game of for dinner came back around 2 hours later and relaunched. Now my GPU is stuttering frames. the utilization is all over the place during the game. it goes from 98-80-64-70-98-32-etc. Before this it was stable at around 99%.

I have been reading about this game doing this now and again. What gives?

Thx
