Bad fps with css

[typex]

I had a 8800gts and thought i would upgrade to a gtx275 so i went out and brought it and i got a 700 watt ps i change it over and installed drivers and went and played and im getting this really bad fps like it would only go up to 200fps. so i reformatted and changed to windows 7 and its still the same?

have no idea what can be the problem

set up is;

core2duo 3.0ghz
gtx275 ( Gigabyte )
1TB HDD
2 gig ddr2 ram
700watt PSU
Windows 7 - 64bit

try a different game and see what its like,
try a game that you have played on your old card to compare that

In Nvidia control panel, the following settings will affect CS:S.

Use:
Ambient Ocdusion Off
Antialiasing Mode Enhance the Application Setting
Antialiasing Setting 8xQ (I had 16xQ)
Antialiasing Transparency Off

why do people care about having 200 fpS+ its unneeded. css is a old game that isn't optimized well for todays hardware. its a dodgy game for fps. especially when it comes to the cpu and bottlenecking.

oh well just play csp

As long as it sits above 100, then i'm happy.
