    I have the same problem with GTA multiplayer mods. And CSS is generally annoying to play. Although not because of framerate decrease, Showfps has been giving acceptable output. Fecking Vista.

    What's annoying about playing CSS on Vista, Nick? I play it myself and haven't noticed any difference from XP.

    Maybe you have a better graphics card. Both a friend and i have problems playing even though the framerate seems to be normal. There seems to be fps stutters or small memory leaks every now and then. Ive given up on it now tbh.

    I have a 7800gtx/256mb and 2gb of ram - what are you using?
    Framerate is definately not as high as in XP but its close.

    Radeon X800, not the best of cards but it worked with XP. Other games seem to like it with Vista. I also have 2gig RAM.
