Hey
Recently i had a problem with my graphics drivers, crashed twice within an hour, so i decided to update. Since then, i get 30fps in almost any 3d application, and for me, 30 fps is like 15 fps (ie, not smooth) - Ive tried older drivers, and the latest one, all are the same! :/ - In 2D applications, it isnt too smooth (ie moving windows arround or typing even) It happened after i upgraded my drivers, and wont get better :(
Any ideas?
Thanks
Try this:
1.)Uninstall drivers
2.)Use Driver Cleaner or Driver Sweeper to remove all traces of the drivers:

3.)Re-boot and install drivers again
Also check that your graphics card is not overheating!
Well, since august (building), about 80c idle and 100c load is perfectly normal, stock cooler on HD4850 sucks, unless its at 100%, in which case 60c load is the maximum!! Dunno what happened for my drivers to crash, thenthe idea of ‘lets upgrade’ came to mind, I can confirm that in some games such as CSS the problem is available, and possibly typing, moving windows, opening windows, that isn’t very smooth, so something is up, fixed a mate’s pc who was like that, had no drivers, so suggesting it is the drivers. Thanks for that , will give it a shot later :) (note in l4d, cod4, etc, there is no problem, and those are much more graphical, likewise with benchmarks!)
Didnt help! :/
Any idea what this could be?
It might be worth checking the graphics card is seated properly in the slot. I have experienced cases were 3D acceleration wasn't available at all or worked but with very low performance \ crashy because the card had worked itself lose.
Might need a windows re-install. Try updating directX first, then if that doesn't work try going back to a system restore point from when it was stable, then if that fails, reformat.
If that fails, get new graphics hardware.
