Wasn't a ping spike, as my ping was holding steady, so I assumed the server just sucked. I then went to one server after another, and the same outcome. My in and out data rates are fine, even on the 33tickrate servers. After reinstalling CS-Source to no avail, I assumed it was the comp, and that maybe drivers were messed up..I reinstalled video drivers to have only the same problem, with many diff versions of the drivers. I reformatted yesterday, and got everything running good again, but am having the same problem. I have checked my CPU and Video temperatures, and they are looking great, so I am getting a tad bit angry here.
Basically, what is happening, is that when there is any action (sometimes just me running) it seems like my fps drop to like 10, yet in the graphs they hold steady. It definately just looks like a shitty video card to me, yet i know it can easily handle the feat of playing CSS. Since the temp is ok, I assume the fan and heatsink are properly in place (fan is working fine). I mean the thermal paste I having physically checked, but I see no need. I have also ran ran AquaMark3 and PCMark05 with average scores, as well as the CSS framerate test (160 fps).
Any help someone can give me here is greatly appreciated here, to save me the 60 mile trip to the store I buy my parts. Could it be the power supply?? How could i check the amp/voltage coming out steadily? Just whatever you can think of.
