Counter Strike Source Issues with GTX 260

[Adroid]

This is probably redundant but after looking thru pages of threads I had to give up and ask;

Very low FPS with a GTX 260... Even worse than the Radeon x1950 I replaced. Even at minimum settings I get crap fps we are talking as low as 50ish.

Please advise

cpu?

my gtx285 is smooth as butter on my core2duo but chugs a lug on my athlonx2.

q6600 @ 3ghz 4 gig ddr2 64 bit vista ultimate.. I can run crysis on high smooth as silk, but cs sucks eggs

Blame CS:S? What renderer are you using?

Might be a driver problem. I use to have a EVGA 260 core 216 and it ran counter strike great.

What is your power supply? Have you added any new memory lately, my friend had the exact same issue and it was because one of his sticks had gone bad. Thus making his performance quite inconsistent until we discovered the issue.

Best,

Running a Corsair 550, seems fine for my setup. I am curious about my ram, I tried to get memtest to run but didn't.. I need to look into that more.
All my other games run fine though..

COD 4 and 5 - Crysis, sup commander, company of heros, etc etc. Everything else I load runs great on high settings 1680x1050

Q6600 @ 3ghz

GTX 260 Core 216 mild overclock
64 bit ultimate
550W Corsair

Its not my system. I run crysis, COD 4/5, Warhammer 2, Company of heros, Supreme Commander- 1680/1050 screen at high resolution and my machine runs smooth on all..

CS:Source sucks, and I can't figure out why.... I updated driver I think it helped a little but still get fps spikes low... Wierd, but I don't really care because I am about done with CS anyway.
