I'm using nVidia GTS 450, a card in midrange of GPUs. It allows me to play Battlefield 2 at frame rate of almost 100 frames per second (with all graphic settings set to max).
However, I can play Counter-Strike Source at only 20 frames per second (map de_inferno for example).
Is Counter-Strike Source too bad at graphic optimisation?

People complain a lot about this,with new high end graphic cards they would still get low framerates(not nearly low as 20 but still).
Open ingame console and write
fps_max 100it can go even higher but no point...This is in case your max FPS is limited.Changing your .cfg file is another option, here you can find more details.
Other than that you could change your driver options or ingame options.
