BFG 7800 GS gone bad
I have BFG 7800 GS 256mb AGP. Recently, one of my hard drive was failed. So I had to install everything include all drivers. I noticed while I wanted to play BF2142, the graphic was slow. I haven't got like that before. It was smooth. I checked on with Nvidia monitor. The GPU core clock is 275 MHz. I know typical GPU clock 7800 GS is 375 MHz. Does anybody know what happen to my video card? Why the GPU clock core was decreased?

yes I did. I even the dust out from the tunnel and also I checked the fan itself. It is still good. I installed NGOHQ driver for Nvidia. Also, I noticed, not only BF2142, BF2 also went slow on my PC. I even installed and uninstalled my audio card. I think I checked Sims2 game also. Do you guys have any idea what is going on?

After cleaning out the dust, does the clock still show the lower speed? Try bumping it slowly back up and test if performance improves.
