Ive tried tweaking gfx but I think its down to dx8 mode for me. Personally your cpu will be a bottleneck but ure gfx card cant handle those settings imho.

That's funny, I run a 9800XT and a 3200+ and have had no problems with slowdown or lag running CS: Source with the recommended performance options set up. My FPS usually hovers around 40-60, too.
