fair enough

as for the stress test FPS being 130, anybody know if its normal?

i still dont know if my fps drops are normal.. it is very annoying though.

it seems as though you need to buy a graphics card around 6 months after a game you want is released, if you want good performance with no lag.. if this is true then that is quite poor and disappointing

DFI boards are pretty quirky and picky - have you tried digging around the dfi-street forums?

I've noticed a severe drop in my framerates in CS:S during the last few weeks. I used to get a constant 150-200 fps, then it dropped to around 100, and the last couple times I've played it's been around 60-70. You think valve is making some changes to that maps that affect performance?

I have:
X2 4600+ AM2
ATI X1900XT, original 512 MB version
2 gigs of ddr2-800
drives and stuff like that

glc - i havent looked around there, my last board was a DFI also.. tbh im not that fussed on it, it does seem really picky and maybe even a little problematic.

Im still stuck here, my next setup will be a conroe.. however i cant see myself going for a DFI board again. I'll go for one that overclocks well and without problems if there are any.

i need to fix problems with my current setup first though
