First of all, here is my specs for my Motherboard and graphics card.

Graphics card: ATI 9800PRO
Motherboard : Asus P4P800 Deluxe

My motherboard has an onboard overclocking setting. I have my setting on TURBO and overclocking 5%.

Here's my problem: (The problem occurs mostly in the game Warhammer 40K, but it also appears in other games as well.)

I'm building my buildings in warhammer 40K and everything is very nice and smooth. As soon as I build about 4 buildings, my graphics develope a sort of a stutter, I'll try to explain it the best I can. when I move the camera over the buildings, the frame rate is smooth for about half a second, then the frame rate stops for half a second, and runs smooth for half a second. It's not slow frame rate, it's like my graphics card cannot keep up with my CPU (I think it's due to overclocking the CPU??) I think the graphics card is out of sink with my CPU or something like that. This only happens when there are alot of buildings (or when the graphics card has to process alot of information).

Is there any way of fixing this sort of problem or do I just have to try and tweak my motherboard settings and find the best settings for my hardware??

Thank you very much.
 
hmm it will sort the problem to a certain point, but really you need to turn down teh visual settings until it runs better with your card. Its jsut the same on my pc, when I played the demo of that game, it seemed to struggle alittle with high settings and I just turned them down and it ran fine.

The cpu not syncing with the video card does not happen. This is most likely a driver or os virus or spyware problem. Try scanning for viruses and spyware, then after that get new drivers from www.omegadrivers.net
