Frame Rate dropping

[FLS]

Is it the same video card you had problems with before? 

Can you check MB temps in the BIOS and video card temps when it happens?

No it's one TequilaChaser sent me . Been working fine . Just started this a few day's ago when the weather got hot .
Not sure if I can check the BIOS or not ?
I'm not very smart on this PC stuff .

Most of the year I don't need heat or AC. Only 1 or 2 weeks of above 79 degree heat. When it does heat up above 85, my PC gets hot. I have the side open next to a window. I open the window and place an area fan in the window blowing directly into the open side of the PC. All temps drop, no heat problems.

Download GPU-Z from here it's free: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

Run it and set it to log to file which will pop up asking where you want to save the file named: GPU-Z Sensor Log.txt

Save the file where ever you will remember it's location. Run Aces High for awhile to get the bad things to happen. Then exit out of Aces High and GPU-Z. If you have MS Excel, then rename that file.

GPU-Z Sensor Log.txt --->> rename to --->> GPU-Z Sensor Log.csv

Excel will be able to open this with nice neat headers and columns showing you all of your details over the time of your AH session. Or give it to Skuzzy to look at. It will show things like GPU load, total video memory being used, video card temperatures. Things like that. Might be a nugget in all of it to help figure out your FPS problem.

I've used this for years to see how my video card memory is being used by the game.

OK - interesting.  I disabled vsynch.  When I have done this before (different computer) I was getting frame rates of 300+.  With this rig I got between 56 to 63.  Not good given this power.

I might uninstall and reinstall and see if that makes a difference.

Worth noting my install of Aces High is on a HDD that I imported from the old PC.  I am starting to wonder if the fresh install might be important.  Will let you know.

you dont understand that your video card can send a billion frames to your monitor but if your monitor can only display 60 than that's all it's gonna do.  I can see tearing (if you dont know what it means google it).  in other words your monitor will display a frame up until the next one is sent.  so if the video card sends 300 then it wont properly display 300 as your monitor can only display 60.

you will see wavy or "tearing" thing happening between frames.

Thanks semp.  I have a degree in computer network engineering and am fully aware of the power of my GPU and what tearing is but thanks for the condescending response.  I will post my question up in another post to stop hijacking the OP

[Flench]

turn vsync on.

Where ? can not find it .

Have you tried turning it on?
I know the game runs smoother for me with it on.

and with that degree you cant figure it out by yourself?  I dont have a degree other than what I have learned here.  but I just fixed a big problem with my computer than was lowering my fps.  I needed to clean it. if you dont like my posting you can just ignore it.

You know what semp - the beauty of the Internet is people can ask questions and maybe get responses from people who have come across the same situation i.e. help each other.  If I don't like your posting I can just ignore it.  If you don't like being called out for being condescending then maybe you could not be.

Gentlemen, please leave emotions at the door.  This is the "Technical Support" forum. 
If have a question, ask it.  If you have an answer then provide it.  If it needs to be discussed, then keep it civil and respectful as any other approach is not going to help anyone.

Thank you.
