Is this just in online play or Offline play too? Also you need to work out if it's your FPS or server Lag. Try all the commands like "cl_smooth 0" just to make sure they haven't turned themselves back on.

Make sure you play the game in a low resolution and low graphics, because your graphics card isn't quite suited to play HL2 or CS:S. Does the choppy gameplay also happen when you're indoors? Or does it only happen outdoors (more to render(display))?

I perfectly normal when i first played it. When i run the test it was smooth and everything. In door or outdoor it about the same. As for lowing the graphic i was playing about week or 2 with all high setting and it still run smoothly. I might reinstall it and hope it back to normal. I try the smooth consol config thing and if it doesn't work than i reinstall it and see how it goes. Thank you for the help.

We can only properly fix your problem if you provide the following :

X - Have you ran the stress test before? If so - Do you remember the FPS you had? If so, run the test again with the same resolution and graphical options. Include the new and old Stress Test Result ( What FPS you had)

X - Did you install any drivers? Drivers can change performance for the better and worse.

X - What type of internet connection are you playing on?

X - What value do you have for the following commands :
cl_smooth
cl_interp
cl_interpolation
mat_bloom ( this can kill some computers.)

What speed is your RAM, and the timings if you can possibly include that as well.

Also, as the old saying follows : " Your computer is only as fast as your slowest part"

Quite honestly, the MX 440 is out of date. You might want to upgrade to a newer generation of graphics card to obtain any higher FPS. Other than that, you simply cannot expect to get more than 50-60 fps on that card.
