This is really getting old, I've practically tried everything of my knowledge, and nothign worked, I'm hoping to find a solution through CGA techs.

Heres my full system specs.

Asus P4C-800 i875 motherb.
Intel p4 2.0ghz (OC'd at 2.4) 400fsb
Samsung 512 DDR 333 RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 XT
Seagate 80Gb HDD
Creative SB Audigy Gamer.
and 2 CD-RW

Problem is whenever i see something, gun fire, person's model, even the bomb, my fps will start fluctuating between 40-100. So far I've done re-install, format, differnet driver use, overclock, downclock I need help.

My conclusion for now, is that something is wrong with the RAM or GPU.

so yeh, Help me out!!
 
Tried official drivers from ati, older drivers from ati, tried omega drivers? Vsync? Overclockage damage? Different graphic drivers, software etc in cs?
 
did u try pushing ctrl+alt+delete 5 times then slam your key board on the ground... that always works for me :) gee gee
 
Steam did announced they got new maps for CS:S, maybe the download of those maps fluctated your gameplay, causing it to...fluctate...

So far I've done re-install, format, differnet driver use, overclock, downclock I need help.

Have you tried, leaving your Graphics to Normal/Average/Balanced?
 
also what u may try limiting ur fps, i always ahave to do that

Yes every thing you mentioned I've tried.

Why would i do that, when i used to get 100 fps... its at fps_max 101 right now. It doesn't do much anyways.

Have you tried, leaving your Graphics to Normal/Average/Balanced?
Yes, left it stock settings also, same ole same ole.

I think i'll try the fast write feature. turning it on/off.
 
Update: Fast write is off, don't know if tehre are much performance gain, but knowing my RAM might be the bandwidth bottle neck, i might upgrade it to dual channel ddr 400.

any suggestions?
 
I belive it's steam only. Warcraft 3 runs without issues (although it doesn't use much 3d accelerator) I've tried halo pc and it runs fine. Formatting did no help, so I guess it's Steam...

Any other suggestions? and curse steam.
