ATI X700 card, problems in CS:Source

I've got some problems with this new X700 256mb card I just bought. Previously (don't pass out) I was using an ATI AllInWonder 64mb and ironically things worked great in Counter-Strike: Source.

With this new card there are a few things going on:

1. I get serious video lag. All other factors are good but I am getting incredible video lag no matter what.

2. The FPS (which is max set to 90) will somtimes bottom out to 10 and then a few moments later shoot up to 80.

Any ideas? I've read some articles on having OpenGL installed but I can't seem to find where ATI has the drivers for the X700 and OpenGL; other than a brief mention in its multimedia section. From another article I read where the AGP card could be set to a PCI card by mistake. How is this possible?! How could I check because this is indeed an AGP card/slot and if the computer is mistaking it for a PCI then that might be the problem right there.

Any advice would be great, esp any console commands I could check. Here's my system stats:

Asus MB, 2.4ghz AMD Athlon, 1gb mem, ATI Raedon X700 256mb

Thanks much
Jonathan

I too also have the same video card and zero lag, you need to go to ATI's website and select drivers and download the latest drivers for your PC, also is there any background applications running? what O/S you have on your computer?

here is the latest drivers you should install:

Oh I have the latest drivers and all of that. I fixed the problem. It was actually a problem with Valve's patch. Since they updated it's been all smooth sailing. Thanks anyways.
