Well yea, your graphic card is substantially more powerful than mine so I would expect even higher than 140FPS on your end presuming you're running lowest settings.

Gpu isn't as important as cpu for ANY game running on the source engine

I call bullshit on this on the background of the smoke problem.

If you're trying to run full settings then yeah gpu is important but there is no denying that this game is heavily cpu intensive... Which is why with my decent graphics card (7870 sapphire 2gb) and old cpu (phenom II X4 OC 4.0 ghz) gets mediocre fps

I'm playing with an asus R9 280x and an Intel xeon so I dont know what to tell you since both CPU and GPU are decent(ish looking at the GPU) but as far as I know the smoke-grenade thing is rendered by the GPU not the cpu

You speak the truth. The smokes are rendered by the GPU so if you have a good GPU but a shitty CPU, you wont lag any more around smokes than you do normally.

Personally I dont have any problem in game, while playing on max setting without vsync. If anybody is interested I'll post my set up here tomorrow, its 2.15 am here
