O.P. Huh?  Floating contacts + games?
hey guys.. i've got a problem...

i recently started using floating contacts... just for convenience you know... 125 contacts is not easy too look though >.< i had it running and then decided to play dance dance revolution... something i havn't done in awhile.... but it lagged like crazy! the graphics were very bad, choppy and would lag for 1 sec, then go then lag then go again... i couldn't figure out what was wrong until i turned off floating contacts.. and then it went fine... i've been having a few problems with other games as well... i'm not sure if its attributed to this feature though. DDR is a very cpu intensive game... but i don't see how floating contacts could make the game lag SO much! is there a conflict or something? here's my dxdiag output.
