In that case, given that you re-downloaded the game, it must be something in
your config file. Delete ...path to
steam..\steamapps\<youraccount>\counterstrike source\cstrike\cfg\config.cfg and
then run CS:S which will re-create a standard version then try it again without
changing any settings and see if it helps.

I had same problem .. i was getting fps around 20 with ati 9800 pro! i did
this....

open notepad.... copy and paste the next info into notepad...

mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 1
mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 0


Now save as .......autoexec.cfg save it in your cs source config
folder, usually at..
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\yournamehere\counter-strike
source\cstrike\cfg

Since i did this i now get fps between 40 and 110 ..its still not ideal but
much better  

hope this helps
