Hey guys I've been having this problem for some time now and I'm just really sick of it. I've updated all my drivers properly. Is this card just not suited for 1080p? (ive got a 1080p monitor) I figured I should be able to almost max the game out with a 4870. Meaning no AA, and not adding AF beyond trilinear. I'm playing freaking firearms source and I can't even get a constant 60 FPS on medium settings.
If it means anything, it seems like smoke, or lots of particles up close cause the drops. Then combined with a 32 man server, it drops twice as bad. But there could literally be no one in the server, I woke up to a smoke bomb, and I still get frame drops.
Here's my specs:
Windows 7 64bit
4gb mem
xfx 4870 512mb (using catalyst 10.6 drivers, I know they arent the latest but this problem has been going on even after updating drivers)
Phenom II X4 2.8ghz (I unlocked the 4th core though)
