Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Is this in CS:S or CS1.6? Because it's a little normal to drop fps in CS:S, but if you're running CS 1.6, something's not right. A powerful card like yours really should be able to keep it at 100fps all the way. Even my 9700pro did it at the res you use.

its not the card, its:
A: your rates
B: your CPU
C: your internet connection.
D: smoke grenades
A: usually isnt a drop to 25fps, its a drop to 2fps, to fix it:
go to console, and type in:
rate 7500
Cl_cmdrate 30
Cl updaterate 20
net_graph 3 (this is optional but it will tell you what console is thinking to turn it off type net_graph 0)
B: a background app springs to life, on a dual core proc thats not a problem, on a single core proc you might had a sever drop to a stable fps.
C: poor internet connection can occasionally give you lag, technically your gfx card is spewing out 60fps but your internet is only getting the bandwith for 25 of em. this happens when again, a networking app springs to life.
D: smokes are insanly powerful for such an old game. they basically use several hundred layers, each with a slight grayness to them, meaking for areas at the center being grey, and areas at the boarders being more see-thru.0
i might add, its impossible for your setup to get 100fps, cuz the refreash rate is only 75 fps, as such console will say its displaying the game at 74.99 fps most of the time.

Ewwww with those rates I would own you. haha!
I had this happen to me, with my 6800Ultra a LONG time ago though, no idea how to fix it but I did.
WAIT nvm, it was on my 9800XT, but I fixed it.

So are you saying you tried it on and off, and it still happens?

It does matter, if your video card cannot render the scene fast enough so that the FPS is always above your monitors refresh rate then your frame rate will be slashed in half.
For example if your monitors refresh rate is 60Hz then if your video card ever slows down to under 60FPS then the frame rate will drop to 1/2 of the refresh rate, which is 30FPS, if it can't manage 30FPS then it will drop to 1/3 rd of the refresh rate or 20FPS
If the frame rate goes back up to above 60FPS the cap will raise to 60FPS
This jumping between 60fps, 30fps and 20fps (or even lower) is very noticeable and the prime reason people don't have Vsync on, otherwise Im sure more people would!
