    Ok after 2 hours of downloading the game and steam I started up played against boots and the game is laggy like no other. I did the stress test and I get 133 FPS I don't understand what is wrong. CC:S should not be a problem for my laptop. :confused:

    Reinstall it do a clean install, do a virus scan, defragment your comp, a nvida geforce can easily handle Css. If all else fails, go to your options and lower your video settings

    Can I have your steam account btw?

    do you want to add him as a friend aznflamer? Becuase I'm pretty sure he won't just give you his steam account.

    It's pretty simple actually.

    Lowest settings → Game becomes more involved with the CPU
    Higher settings → Depends more on the video card

    Too bad the source engine is still more CPU intensive no more what setting you revert to. ;)

    You can also look up your Steam page here: https://steamcommunity.com/

    If you want, you can add me. Link
