Built a monster PC, still having FPS issues, help!

Here's the first thing I check ..

Go into the Power control panel in windows, make sure you're set on the High Performance power profile. Then click on Advanced options and scroll down to where it says Processor power management. Expand that. If it has a minimum and maximum state, make sure they are both at 100%.

Forgive me for asking, but wont this lock my CPU at 100% all of the time?

I think i have figured out my issue. Some of my friends are having the same issue when they are using dual monitors. I am using the same setup, but my monitors are different and have different refresh rates. One is a flatscreen 24" LCD and one is a 20" LCD, both have a 50mhz and a 60mhz default refresh rate, respectively. Do you think that if I bought another 24" identical to the one I have that it would help resolve my issue?

Your CPU won't be at 100% *usage*, just full power. If this is not at 100%, the OS will determine when to lower the power to your CPU, making it go slower. It's a power saver feature, but high performance multiboxing requires some juice

Hmm, so you think maybe i am having good performance temporarily (60 FPS) and then it throttles and then realizes I need more juice and amps up the power, giving me the 30 > 60 > 30 >60 FPS issue?
