fps drops?!?!

basically, just built a new pc and for some reason im getting fps drops... :S

specs -
intel i5 overclocked @ 4.0ghz
4gb kingston ddr3 ram
asus geforce gtx 550 ti 1gb
150gb wd raptor 10,000rpm hdd (windows + game installation on here)
1tb samsung spinpoint 7,200rpm hdd
tx750m corsair psu

temps seem fine...
cpu running around 30-40 degrees
gpu running around 30-50 degrees

ive tried setting affinity to only 2 cores but still no joy... any ideas? :/

you re-downloaded steam etc or copy pasted from another drive?

getting the exact same problem opterial. are you on windows7? ifso there is loads of people with the problem yet nobody seems to know a fix

If you let windows install the drivers itself try manually installing your graphics driver, also check if vsync is off (not that it should make much difference at all with your system but it's worth a try).

yea sounds like a driver issue. guru3d.com have the best ones i find, tested by gamers.

i dno about opterial but ive tried 3 different drivers lol as far as ive read online alot of people with win7 have it so maybe its windows7?

Are you on windows 7 64 bit revo? Because i reckon that could be it

I must admit i thought CS (1.6) doesn't use more than a single core?

what's your netgraph saying? try using rivatuner or similar to force the fan speed to 100% and see how it performs then.

try running a dvd or bluray while you have the game open...

Disable onbaord video (if you have it) and just double check your nvidia control panel to see if you've got your 550 selected for cs and other games... on my laptop i'm running onboard graphics for flash, web browsers, desktop etc and the standalone graphics for games.

check your bios settings for ram and cpu, check they're actually running at the correct speeds/timings

grab a copy of hirens boot cd and do a memtest + disk analysis? :)

yh

Not sure if serious.........................

deffiantly optimize your card to performance, ive been running win7 ulti x64 since release and ive never come accross issues. mind you i think it doesnt like the fact your using openGL on the latest cards. have a gander on the microsoft forums and see if theres a fix possibly

well me and alot of others are having trouble on windows7 so yeh he is serious champion.

If i installed xp now, I would get 100fps. So why do I get 40-60fps with windows 7?

my 64 bit version of windows plays cs perfectly fine, it might be related but its not the issue. installed all windows updates and updated all graphics? if you have then rollback to the previous version of the graphics driver. naturally reinstall cs, done your rates and fps_max right? ;)

windows 7 64bit home premium im running, i run about 250 fps on source, so surely running through a smoke on 1.6 should be fine? i did google it before coming on here and quite alot of people said it was to do with windows 7 and try running in compatability mode, which i tried, but still no joy... netgraph runs 100fps, as soon as i go through a smoke or zoom in with a sniper into one it drops to around 65-50fps... ill look into the disk checker plo... thanks xx

older drivers would probably fix it. I used to get 100fps flat on win7 with 7600gt, so i cant imagine any newer card struggling regardless of win7.

i went to older drivers with no luck :) dno about the others but there is loads of ppl on 64bit with the problem lol so im guessing its something to do with 7

abit of a bump, opt find a solution or any1 else?

revo, I would download the omega drivers fix most fps issues they run on a much older engine designed for cs!

Dont know the links but sure you can google it!
