Aight. This problem happened around Monday. Before then everything was fine.


Everytime I play a rather recent video game (UT2004, HL2), I suffer low performance while playing on my usual high settings. Used to pull roughly 80 FPS in HL2 on 1600x1200 (No AA or AF), now I get 33 FPS. And once I turn on AA & AF, it becomes utterly unplayable. Besides getting FPSs of 10, the lighting & textures are horribly rendered. This only happens when I touch AA & AF though.

I've reformated several times, tried installing a slew of different drivers, and cleaned off and reconnected all my parts. And ran Prime95

OMFG. Ideas anyone?
