Did you uninstall the old drivers before installing the new ones and the new card?

yep i have tried older drivers and also tried formatting PC then installing newer drivers just to make sure everything was gone before reinstalling new drivers.

What power supply do you have?

At the moment i have only 400W and i thought that may have been the problem but like i said other games that are much more demanding seem to work perfect on highest settings, also my friend bought exactly the same card as me and his PC has the same specs and he only had a 330W PSU and was getting higher FPS than me with my 400W. i have tried different configs re-installing CSS, i am running out of ideas :mad:

What brands were those PSUs? A 330W SeaSonic will be better than a Sunbeam 400W any day of the week.

Download MSI afterburner from here:

http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

Open it up and open up task manager too (right click your clock in the bottom right and click task manager) and click the processes tab.

Go to play your game for a bit, so long as it lags, it has done what you need. Close the games, and look at the graphs. 1 of your memory, CPU or video usage should be pinned at 100%, see which one it is, and that is the source of your woes
