I read about this. Try switching cores for CS.

[Amoroso]

what you mean switching cores? did you read it on here? I would be interested in what is causing it.

oh i know your problem. i didnt see you have a dual core. anyway after you load the game alt-tab out of the game, then go into task manager and under processes select whatever one is CS:S, right click on it and go into affinity and select cpu0 or cpu1. oh and make sure you have the amd dual core patch installed otherwise you wont beable to switch the affinity. im pretty sure the dual core patch is on amd's website


edit: here is the link to the update

http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html

and d/l the one that says "AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (exe) 1.2.2.2"

and then youll beable to select the affinity in the task manager

My 850xt works fine in css i get 100 frames constant. 80 frames max seems like vsync is on and your monitor hz is at 100.

yea CS 1.6 works!

but it seemed like it didnt do much for CS:S though... I have VSYNC turned on and it caps at 60fps... with it off it fluxuates from 80-110 very fast same as before... it looks better with NSYNC on in my opinion... I reinstalled CS:S too... I dont know what to do anymore...

i read it on www.steampowered.com . you have to switch cores and it should work fine.

if 80fps isnt smooth for you, your the rare guy with cat-like reflexes whos eyes respond very, very fast that even this many fps looks choppy. I know one guy who needed 100+ fps to be smooth and he cant even enjoy new games :(
