Fps dropped from 80-100 to 15-35 (Wtf?)

orly? And, I don't have any viruses ;). I scan my pc every week.

 

You think it's because of the new skins?

 

If I was to guess, the source of your problem would be the virus scan in your background.

well two things, if you have antivirus running, then no AV wouldnt be lagging you likely, if it is SCANNING then yes it will lag you. if your css skins are not well made, or tested, they can severely lag your computer, i would recommend taking skins out then trying and putting them back in and see if that is your issue if the file verification/defragmenting turns up nothing.

 

if you have bad fps check your ping as well, if your internet is lagging the game slows and your fps drop. also certain maps with hdr on crash my fps down from around 200 to 100ish easily if there is a firefight on. i had to fix certain settings to allow the game to not choke too much which was restricting my fps and lagging me.

Whenever my old card overheated, my fps randomly dropped from 50ish to 4-5, but that was a bad card.

Hmm, you never know with custom skins. Some can get you VAC-banned so watch out for .exe files.

Just a note. Skins DO affect performance.

Or it could be that Vavle updated css so requirements went up.

I'd recommend checking your core temperature (massive performance block) and post the results.

If the skins are pretty high-poly and you don't have a really strong computer, it could happen. I mean sometimes if you get like 100 fps looking at a wall or something, you turn around and look at all these stuff, your fps would drop to something like 15 fps.
