Just upgraded my monitor from 22" (1680x1050) to 28" (1920x1200) and noticed Bf2 was getting laggy at some points e.g dropping to 60FPS from 100 which makes the game look laggy. Didn't have this before so opened GPU-Z while playing Bf2 to see what temps and stuff I was getting. Temps stayed at 50°C because GPU usage was only 40-50% so I assume this low GPU usage is responsible for the FPS drops. My 4870 should handle Bf2 at 1920x1200 piece of piss which it does most of the time apart from the random drops.
Same thing happens in C&C3 Tiberium wars, GPU usage won't go above 50% even when the game is dropping to 20 FPS. COD4 the highest it went to was 84%.
So my question is, is there any solution to this?
I know when the games reach there FPS cap they won't require more power from the card hence why its never at 100% all the time but why would the FPS drop if there still all that power spare? CPU usage is around 30-50% in most games so not due to CPU bottleneck.
System specs in sig.
