Ok... Here we go again.
All I want at this point is for my computer to run CS: source smoothly and keep above 30 fps. Is that so much to ask? Just got a new HIS Radeon HD 3850 512mb AGP IceQ 3 Turbo.. (which from what I understand can certainly handle this request). But i'm getting just barely better framerates than my previous nVidia 7600 GS?!? wtf !? So I assume that the fps is being choked by something other than my video card. I buy more RAM, nothing.. New Power Supply (from 450w to 650w)... nothing. Lag scripts, reduce all video settings to performance settings... nothing. In the source video stress test I get an avg of 70 fps... which is not bad... but gameplay is frustrating when i'm in a room with 4+ ppl... fps immediately drops to below 30 until i stare at a blank wall then shoots back up.. I don't know what to do. Check my specs, I mean I would think that everything is plenty sufficient to run this game adequately. Is it my MOBO? That's the only thing I can think of that would choke it that I haven't tried to fix. But I don't want to have to replace it i'm just trying to max this comp out before i work on a totally new build... Any Suggestions/Advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance!
