"Controls Lag/Delay" in CS 1.6

I hope not. They don't make my board anymore and it would take forever to RMA it. There's no DFI in Canada.

I'm still thinking it might be the ATI drivers, DirectX or .NET Framework that are some possible suspects.

.NET has nothing to do with it. That's just a compiling platform.

Yeah well you never know. It is required for ATI Catalyst though. Maybe I'll roll-back drivers some more.

Disable ATI Hotkey Poller service. When I had my X800 GTO2, I had the same problem in CS and The Ship.. ie: any Source engine game. Turns out Steam has issues with ATI Hotkey Poller on some video cards.

With my X1900 though, I have not experience this at all and ATI Hotkey Poller is running.

What Video card do you have? Keep in mind disabling the service for the X1800/X1900 series will disable the auto core/memory speed switching for 2d/3d applications.

There is a Steam techsupport article on this, but I can't access the Steam website from work, so can't point you to it. If you go through the Steam techsupport though, you should run into it.

Switch from DirectX to OpenGL. Let me know if it works, I used to have this problem, but not a half second lag.. but definately noticeable.

Yep.. turn off ATI Hotkey Poller in services. I was using an X800 GTO2 with the bios from an X850XT PE.. though PCI-E version, but it should behave the same.
