I just got a new MSI 460GTX Hawk from Newegg. I read that it is an awesome 'middle range' card. My system specs below:
C2D E6750 @ 3.2
P5NE-SLI MB
3 GB DDR2 XMS2
460GTX @ 780
When playing games the FPS occasionally drops to sub 10 (every 30 secs to a minute) and then shoots back up to 40-60. It doesn't stay for very long, half a second or so, but definitely enough to create a jarring effect on the game I am playing.
Question:
Is this due to the bottleneck I know my processor is creating for the card or is this due to a malfunction with the card? I get no artifacts, etc. If neither of these are true does anyone have any ideas? (I can get Vid Card data tonight from GPUZ if needed)
