Broken In
Until a month ago I was using Zotac GT 210 graphics card which was descent enough to run TeamFortress2, Minecraft, and few other games and I was using Windows XP.
To upgrade it I bought The Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card | Graphics Card | Flipkart.com
So with it I put Windows 7 also, (GT 210 was a temporary card, I had a 7300GT before and was using on-board also for a year or so when the 7300GT had burnt out and all that time I had windows 7. So for time being I had bought the 210 which had problems with windows 7 so I was using Windows XP.) and it was working good enough that I could play MW3 in low graphics, tf2 and few other games at descent FPS.
Other Specs: Intel Q6600 quad core @ 2.4Ghz / 3 GB RAM/ Windows 7 Ultimate/ Mobo DG31PR/ DX11.
And until a week ago, something happened and every game started lagging, I get around 40FPS on minecraft and on servers its like reaching 10FPS.
TeamFortress 2 which was working smoothly, now has lag when viewing long distance. I re-installed Windows 7 its still the same. Even Ubuntu for some reason lags and then goes blank..
Also I added an extra hdd of 500GB about the same time all this started but I thought that doesn't affect anything much right. ?
Can you guys point me at anything that I should be looking at ??
