Comp Probs!

[Comput3rGam3r]

I recently built my computer, and spent a pretty penny on it. There is one big problem though, i get unbelivabily bad Fps, in the game im currently playing CS:S. I only get an ave of 40Fps. There has been instances where my comp has shown some of its power, for instance i played a round one time and ave 100Fps, which sounds right. If anyone can help me, give me tips anything it would be very welcomed.

make sure all your rates are set correctly in cs:source, also is this the only game you play? do you get higher fps in any other games?

how do i know what to set my rates to? I play other games like WoW, it runs fine.

well i don't play cs:source, only cs 1.6 and from what i've heard the rates are different on the two different half life engines that they use, so i wouldn't know but search around or just wait, someone's bound to help you out.

type fps_max 120 or 100 in console taht will fix all of your problems

i doubt that's the problem, if it was because his fps_max was stuck at 40, he wouldn't be getting 100 fps on occasion, he would be getting a constant 40 fps.
