probably just background program clutter. do the usual, start/run "msconfig" uncheck all the programs he dosen't need to be running all the time. run a spyware program like "adaware". run a virus scan. defrag. that usualy does it.

why is 170FPS a problem? although I can see that an 80FPS drop is worrying.

U don't need anymore than stable 100 as after Stable 100 FPS, it's just a different number not a different effect. CPU is shit

actually the cpu is fine. Though I agree on the FPS. There is no need for anything over 100 FPS. If there is a major effect in other games, like dropping from 70 to 40 in FC2 or something, there is a problem

in his case i would use EVGA precision to upp the cards fan speed to at least 60% just in case, but my solution to those problems is simple.

reinstall windows.

*Its my PC wer talking about*

I turned off start up programs and got fps back up to 211.

And to others: Its not 170 or 211 constant is those on average in the stress test I still see below 70 on CSS OCCASIONALLY.. But the point is CSS is a VERY easy game to run it's other games that my FPS lacks on. Not to mention if you have a 280 GTX and 4 gigs of ram you want what you paid for.
