So I started to notice I was getting low FPS in games I have been playing for a while now and the only reason I could think for it was because of the recent driver 10.10c hotfix. I downloaded the hotfix because It was supposed to have Fallout NV support.

I noticed in other games my FPS would dip a fair bit in high demand areas where it would usually be a walk in the park so I decided to check my GPU usage with Afterburner OSD and noticed in these high demand areas my load would only be around 25-30% which seemed very odd (In TF2 usually runs flawless never dips 100, but getting around 30 FPS I knew something was not quite right)

I uninstalled the latest ATI driver and re-installed driver 10.8 (only one I had b4 Steam's auto driver update) and still noticed that there wasn't an improvement so my Hotfix theory went out the window. I have just re-installed 10.10.

I also have another theory. I used a .dll fix for the game Fallout NV Click Here which helps the NPC FPS drop in the game. After playing around 18 hours or so I read on the Fallout forum's that someone claimed it wasn't good for your GPU so I deleted the d3d9.dll and haven't used it since. I was wondering if this may have affected my card into less load on games.

Here is a dxdiag:

Any idea of what is going on and what I can do to fix this problem?

Have been monitoring the temps with Afterburner OSD and they aren't getting higher then 60, sitting under it actually.
 
Cheers for the welcome =)
Yeah having been using CPUz for an age now and just downloaded GPUz which was great because I wanted to see if my video card was even attempting to run better. I then realised I also had Afterburner OSD installed so I could actually check in game. In areas where my card would usually dominate it seemed like it wasn't attempting to do anything with loads of 25-30%.

I just cleaned out my entire PC with compressed air and took out my video card for a more in depth clean. It had a bit of dust on the fan and a bit more on the inside. I have noticed the idle temps are cooler by about 1-2 degrees.

I also updated again to the latest video driver (without hotfix c) and gonig to do another test.

Will let you guys know shortly.
 
Found the Problem. Seems like the clean out did the trick. Tested both the games that it struggled on and the GPU load seems to be normal.

Took a screenshot in game to show it running at 99% where before it wouldn't go over 30.
