Game Over
New member
Im one the new rig, have played through Crysis warhead, Operation Flash point Red River, Metro 2033, Battlefield Bad Company 2 at full graphics with no problems.
Now have been playing Mafia2 for a couple days (Beautiful game by the way) and today noticed something odd.
I have the game at full graphics with everything at max except my res as I am on a CRT monitor.
So im on a mission in game, shooting it up with some bad guys in a warehouse at about 50 frames per second. Then I notice the game getting slightly lagy and see the FPS is in the 20's, as I play I can see the FPS slowly drop all the way down to 9 fps.
So I pull up MSI afterburner (program that lets you monitor your GPU activities), I see my GPU bar graph and see it has dropped from full use down to 0%, WTF? Im gaming and the GPU is not active?
when I go to the game options to change specs, then come back to the game, it runs normal then gradualy drops off again to 0.
Anyone know what the deal is?
It does not do this all the time, just on that mission and a couple times when I start the game and its just my guy in a house with nothing going on.
I am hoping it is just an issue with only this game, I do not have any of the other games on the PC as I only put one on the PC at a time.
Just curious if anyone has come across this and what the issue may have been.
