    Hey, I've been having strange FPS drops during SC2. I would go from 100 FPS down to 17 then get stuck there for quite a bit.
    It seems to be only with SC2 as well. I decided to do some testing with other games (L4D2, TF2, Killing Floor, Rift) all on highest settings and I do not notice any sudden FPS drops during extensive gameplay.

    Even if I put the graphics on medium, the FPS still drops at random times in SC2. Here are my specs:

    Windows 7 Ultimate
    8 GB Ram
    Asus ATI Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16
    GIGABYTE GA-MA78LMT-S2 AM3 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
    AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDX945FBGIBOX

    Any solutions? Thoughts?
