Hey guys! I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Before the new update I could play CSS with max settings with an average fps of 60+. Now, REGUARDLESS OF MY VIDEO SETTINGS my framerate begins at 60 but dips and dives to as low as 18 after about a minute of smooth play and stays at about 30 with only small periods of 60. The amount of action on screen does not make any difference.

When I put the settings on the lowest possible, my framerate starts at around 100, but then it dips to 20 again.

I am perplexed at why my framerate dips during play. It throws off my aim and gets me killed.

I am aware that valve uses orange box graphics, but my framerate should be stable at the lowest settings right?

Does anyone else have this problem?
How can I fix it?

Update:

Here are my specs:

How does that help? I'm aware of that thread that's linked in the thread you linked me to. If you turn multicore off, does it stop the framerate drop?

If no. Then multicore is not your problem, and linking to that beta thread is useless.

So now.. specs?
