I'm pretty sure my rig is fast enough to play most anything at full speed, yet I'm having issues in several different games that I was previously able to play flawlessly. I have a newer video card since I last played, but it's much better than my last, so I don't think that could be it. I'm having problems with Wind Waker mostly. At least, it's the one I've spent the most time trying to fix. I've set everything according to the wiki, yet it still won't run full speed, even at lower resolutions. The strange part is, when I first start it, it is full speed (or near it), then it slowly gets worse as I play, until it bottoms out around 50%. I've seen the same behavior with Xenoblade. Time Splitters 2 runs at about 70% most of the time. Monster Hunter Tri runs about 70% in town. The Last Story barely hits 10FPS on the title screen. Pandora's Tower starts out fine and then slowly drops performance over a few minutes, even when standing still. I could rip more games to try, but I'm not sure what that would help. I've tried the latest revision, and even deleted all configs and started over, but nothing I've tried so far has helped. Changing the IR, AA, and AF has no effect on the framerate at all that I can tell. It's probably something simple, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Please help!

EDIT: Looking at my CPU clock, it doesn't seem to be going all the way up to 4.4GHz. It's bouncing around 2.9 and 3.1. I think this might be the issue, but how do I fix it?
