Hi,
I have a problem with my PC and it is becoming very annoying. I purchased my PC about 8 months ago and it has been running fine, however when Hitman: Absolution got released, I tried to run it on my PC on maximum settings and I was not satisfied with the FPS. The FPS was jumping up and down depending on the level detail in each level, so I figured that maybe the drivers are not optimized for this game very well, so I tried to download the latest drivers available and there was no WHQL drivers, only beta drivers. I downloaded the beta drivers thinking that it will improve the gameplay performance, but after playing the game it will run smoothly for about 5-10mins, but then the FPS will drop and it starts lagging. I have to pause the game or alt+tab for a bit so it can become smooth again.
This lagging is not only in Hitman: Absolution, it's in any game, Crysis 2, Crysis 3, Diablo 3, Far Cry 3, etc. I tried uninstalling the drivers for my graphics card and installing a clean copy of the latest drivers. I checked for the fans of the cards if they are jammed or something and they were running fine. I have been having this problem for about 2-3 months but I have been playing a lot less because of college. Now I want to play Crysis 3 but the same problem still exists. I want to format my PC so maybe that will fix the problem but I'm too lazy now and I have college so I can't really do that right now. So please help me identify the source of this problem. I really hope it is a software problem rather than a hardware one. :/
