I have another issue: after playing some games I start having reduced performances, I seem to "lag" at the start and scrolling the map is not smooth...after a period that varies from a couple of seconds to 30 seconds the game becomes smooth again.
Restarting the PC solves the problem for the next "x" games (from 5 to 10 games, after that I start having this issue again)
I am using 13.5 beta drivers from AMD (HD6950 1GB) and I have 8GB DD3 1600. From my Logitech G15 panel I see a huge usage of RAM (around 70-90% when COH2 is running). All the drivers are up to date.
Could it be a problem with the RAM not being used properly? This kind of strange behavior remembers me the problem with Firefox in RAM usage, after some time the browser started using more and more RAM because it wasn't able to clean and liberate part of the RAM it used.
Budwise what do you think?
It sounds like your card might be overheating... Could be wrong though but my Cat drivers didn't let the fan work at proper speeds unless I used afterburner or Trixx. If anyone has an ATI card install Trixx or Afterburner. I have both installed because Afterburner monitors the FPS onscreen and can cap video better than FRAPS. Trixx allows for much larger overclocks too.
