No, but I'm checking GPU overheating as a possibility. I've installed SensorsView which I think shows the GPU as "Aux", in which case it shows about 32 deg C at standstill. But the temp monitor in Catalyst was showing 51 at standstill, which would be too high I believe. However, I'm not sure which one is right. And of crse it's operating temp that really matters. Trouble is with the res fix on, I can't AltTab out of game to see the operating temp. Even uninstalling the res fix, I still can't AltTab out.
Last night, I did try taking the side panel off the case and blew a bedroom fan directly on the GPU. Not surprisingly with that kind of airflow, the standstill temps went down to about 26 deg in SensorsView and 41 in Catalyst. But in-game it was still the same, UNTIL ... lo and behold when the sun went below the horizon, it suddenly stopped and things were normal. So it seems to be linked to the sun (low on the horizon only?), but my present theory is that that's a trigger or symptomatic and that the real cause may be overheating. Continuing the detective (Clouseau) work, although RL interfering weekdays. Tks for yr reply.
