    Has anyone else noticed this??

    I feel that when I run the game as an administrator, i get higher FPS in games...

    Is it really happening, or am I just thinking...

    I really doubt something like this would happen...

    edit: do you have anything to back this up or are you just speculating?

    Your administrator account probably has fewer processes running the background. IF there is any difference at all to begin with, that is.

    maybe the administrator account is running while you're playing on another account, but when you're the admin, the other account isn't running...
