Half Life Counter Strike 9600 256MB FPS
I am having some very frustrating problems with a new ATI Radeon 9600
256MB Card and Counter Strike. The frame rates jump any where from 100 to 30 for no reason and sometimes even crashes the game, and my old NVIDIA 32MB had a constant 70 FPS or above. Something is not right here, my new GPU on the Radeon is a lot faster and I now have 8 times the RAM but it still can not out perform my OLD NVIDIA! Below is what I have tried for solutions. Any ideas, suggestions, or hopefully a fix would be greatly appreciated. -Did a CLEAN INSTALL of the OS (Windows ME) and reinstalled HL CS -Changed my AGP Aperture size in the BIOS -Turned V-Sync OFF -Turned Truform OFF (can be done through the console as well) -I run the game in OPENGL and D3D (DX 9.0B) -Used the UPDATE utility at Half Life's site -Applied a ATI Patch that fixes a overflow error -Downloaded RAGE3D Tweaker and used HALF LIFE Profile -I have tried 2.4 through 3.8 on the CAT drivers from ATI Computer Specs: AMD 1.1 MHz 512 RAM OS: ME 40 GB Hard Drive ATI Radeon 9600 256MB (3.8 Driver) |

yes there is, certainyl for max fps. The command line is max_fps=xx or
similar. I am not sure if there is a minumim version of that too (like min_fps?) Found this with not much effort.. may help: http://www.gametalk.com/talk/pc/acti...e/52506519.htm "enter the console by pushing "`". Then type fps_modem. It should say "fps_modem is XX". Type "fps_modem xx" again and put a lower number for xx than you had before. EG: if it said "fps_modem is 72", type "fps_modem 55". Do the exact same thing for "max_fps" command in place of "fps_modem". Repeatedly lower until problem is fixed." "Gareth not NLL or anybody else." wrote in message ... "Teek" wrote in message om...
