I have a 9880 and I've had it for over a year now and everything is running fine, but since I can remember I've had problems playing all games. It was a small irritance at first, but it's got to me more and more. What I am talking about is a sudden and severe drop in FPS for no apparent reasons.
I will try and explain what happens as best as I can. In WoW or CS I will be doing my usual business. In WoW if I'm running around on a mount and a new animal pops on my screen my FPS will drop to 0 and a second later I will be 10 feet ahead of where I was when I lost FPS. The thing is, this issue doesn't happen everytime so I haven't been able to draw a real pattern out of it. In Counter-strike I will be playing fine and then I will see a new enemy and my FPS will drop to 0 for 1 second. In CS I also have this issue sometimes when I hear a voice command (the ones used with c,v, etc...) My screen will literally freeze for a second before it goes back to being the normal 40-60fps that I usually get.
So maybe my graphics card just can't handle it right? Well I thought of this so I lowered my CS to Low across the board and even tried playing in 640x480. Doesn't help, I still get the same drop in FPS. And when I play on high settings my FPS is always fine other than the FPS drops.
It makes counter-strike practically unplayable at times, because losing fps (basically freezing) even for a second can get you killed or make you miss an opportunity
If anyone knows what could be causing this issue please let me know.
Thanks!
