My Specs:
GPU: ATI x1900GT
CPU: Smithfield Pentium D 805 2.7 ghz
Memory: Corsair Dual-Channel 2GB DDR2
Power SUpply: Rosewill 550W


Last week I was consistantly getting about 50-60 FPS in WoW consistantly, now in exactly the same places I am getting about 25. I installed my graphics card about two weeks ago, the only thing I have changed in my system that I can remember is that I have changed my pagefile to 2.5GB and installed ATI Tray Tools, but in Tray Tools I don't remember making any changes at all. Last night I ran Doom3 full 1024x768 full settings cept no AA

Help! Thanks a bunch

I bet when you installed tray tools, you said yes to turn off the clock switching program. Use crtl alt deletx and see if ati2evxx is running.

If that is running, it should be switching the clocks to 3d mode.

Well, it's good and bad. Good because that option is elminated, bad because you are still having problems with them on.
