I think I'm going mad but no matter what pc I own the game does not feel right, ok here is where it gets confusing as my older pc an x2 4400 on a 939 mobo was fine as well as my older generation pc's. I upgraded to a quad 6600 & fully reinstalled and still the same so I thought maybe it was intel so went back to amd & well its the same...

problem

keyboard & movement feels spongey like I feel like I'm pressing the keys forever to get a response, tried a 3 keyboards usb & ps2 aswell another mouse but it remains, why did I get rid of my older pc. Has anyone else had the same issue and resolved it.

thanx

The is the issue you see, straffe left & right aswell as forward and back, Its not the keyboard or mouse and s far as I know its not the pc & I know how it must sound when I explain it.

current pc's amd x2 6000 with an ati4870 and a q6600 with an amd 9800gt oc, both machines perform the same no matter what drivers, operating system or peripherals.

Keyboards tested saitek eclipse 1 & 2, 1 compaq server keyboard (ps2) 1 standard keyboard.
mice, mx510 blue, mx510 red, g9 laser

onboard sound aswell as my plantronics dsp 500, obviously there has been something odd with my older pc's that is right with the new ones but if anyone as experienced what appears to feel like input lag or lack of responsiveness how did they cure it?
 
I've got a 24" dgm tft so vsync is on but set at 60, tearing is quite bad otherwise, it makes me think was there something wrong with my old machines that I got used to when the allegedly newer pc's feel slower in cs. When I get vsync off I need to tripple buffer it to get rid of the tearing but that does not improve things.
 
ok tried all teh above & now shoved the 4870 in my q6600 machine and its still the same although a tad faster. I've seen all the above before and despite 100fps its still jerky but better, are there any more suggestions.

Sorry its a bit late for teh reply as I never go a chance to test stuff due to sitting in the maternity ward with my wife :D no baby yet so atleast something is going right ;)
 
deffo not a ping issue as it was fine on the other pc, ping is 25-30ish & also I must say its a cz issue aswell although not a css or team fortress2 thing. I was wondering are there any ways of speeding the keyboard up? (ps2 or usb ideas would be good) sounds silly I know but thats a silly question from me :D

I'm at work at the mo so any suggestion I'll play with with I get in tonight at 22:00.
 
I'm running in opengl, d3d was never good years ago

rates current 20000 80 80, default for sensible gaming would be 25000 101 101 or what I used to use 1500 60 60 but since I sorta run [SH1TE] server I know what our rate checkers sets things to with min & max rates.

I Cant be the only one that has had this issue
 
local game is the same, came to the conclusion my old pc was an exception as both my new ones act similar so i give up now
