Usually on AC I get a sort-of stable 125fps. Recently however, I've been subject to random fps drops and screen lag, and yesterday I was forced to play AC with maxfps 45 purely to stop my screen from lagging.
Whenever I start AC I usually get 5 or 6 fps. Alt+Tabbing out brings my fps to a higher number, but still only about half of what I would get before. At the minute I have 45fps and it's very awkward to play decently with.
On sauerbraten I get a stable 60 instead of 140, so AC is not the only game affected.
Does this mean my graphics card is dead/dying? Do I need a new one? Any help or thoughts are appreciated as I'm basically clueless :/
