:| game choppy

[raptorNB]

i usually run like 90-130 fps and for no reason at all it just started only geting like 20-40 and is increbily choppy any ideas what could of happened :x

Make sure like somehow all your grpahics settings got turned up.

[rew ? sky]

Open task manager and let it run in the background while u play cs.

If you see major spikes, it means your cpu is throttling.

This is why with such a leet video card and mobo I am now getting sometimes 20-30 fps.

whats throttling?

whats throttling?

Throttling generally is controlled by temperature. If the CPU gets too hot, it will throttle back.... uh, let up on the gas, slow down in an attempt to bring it's temperture back down into an acceptable range.The higher the temps go out of spec, the more throttling it does.

Once upon a time, Intel chips would throttle back but AMD chips would not. If your CPU fan went out the AMD chip would get very hot but the Intel chip would throttle back to keep cool, continue working at a reduced speed, and prevent permanent damage to the CPU.

If your heatsink came off, the Intel chip would work Very slowly and stay cool.For the AMD processor it was terminal. It would fry, smoke, melt, ie, it was the last thing it would ever do. If you didn't notice the smoke soon enough, the dying CPU would take the motherboard with it when it went. Needless to say all this went
under the category of Bad Things.

Prescott intel chips are known to overheat. Northwood usually doesn't, but unfortunately I have a prescott.

yea this would make total sense cause its been around 95? in room with my cpu just recently and this is when it started also i overclocked video card :0

so thats what throttling is.. well then my computer just completely sucks
