    dual 8500GT and still having problems with CS....
    CSS is usually good at automatically choosing the correct settings, so i doubt your running anything too high

    driver problem?
     
  4. still i mean.. CS doesn't even require that high end of a graphics card...

    maybe a driver problem.. or maybe just a clean re-install of the game will help...

    maybe CSS has problems with SLI?

    try a single graphics card
     
  6. I doubt it..

    and if the settings were too high.. then the whole thing would lag.. maybe not enough ram??

    damn speaking of CSs.. I think imma see if anyones on...

    probably ram, or cpu is bottlenecking your gameplay. maybe ram. have 1-2 gigs

    Lets try handling this situation the way overclockers do it.

    First, please post your complete system specs.

    What game, graphics setting in game and in your cards panel, and what resolution? Remember, AA is an fps hog. Turn only AA off if you have it on and see how things go.

    ^The settings for CSS should be automatically chosen, if your still having lag problems turn either the resolution down or one of the settings to a lower one

    personally i dunno why, your dual 8500GT should be more than enough, my friend runs a radeon 9800 with a 3GHz P4 and its almost at max settings except AA is off

    try with only one gfx card maybe? or go to steam support and see what they have to say
     
  19. just try a clean re-install..
