    Please post your specs and what game you're playing. Make sure that you've gone and updated your video drivers to the latest available.

    Yeah...i kinda get the same thing on my R2 with 5870 X 2 (crossfire X). The drop in frames is not gigantic (i would say about 10 - 15%). I noticed it in BF BC2 ... maybe a windows reinstall would resolve it tho i doubt it. I tryed everything (including new drivers) ... only thing left is to reinstall windows.

    is this happening on all games, or just this one in particular.

    in addition to the latest drivers, make sure the game has all the patches installed
