When I first got the card my fps on counter-strike were great. Recently, they have been gettin really shitty. When nothing is happening and im spectating they will be like 99 as usual but then when [-peep-] starts happening i would expect them to drop but they are going down to like 15!!!! Whats up with this. I just reformated my harddrive and have the recommended drivers direct x 8 everything i can possibly think of. I don't know what else to do. Its set on performance in the settings but nothing should cause it to go that low. Im running counter in opengl. If anyone could help i would greatly appreciate!!!! Thanks guys!

Here's the <b>ISSUE</b>!

1. New Ati Drivers enable Truform in CounterStrike.
2. Your running an Ati Radeon 64MB DDR, which doesn't have Truform in Hardware.
3. Only the 8500 has this feature, so it runs in software on either the 64DDR or the 7500.
4. Disabling Truform, will return things back to normal.

While in Counter strike(Console): ati_npatch 0



Also some Tweaked Ati Drivers.
