hey i would like to know which card would run games like CS:S and cs 1.6 better? right now i have a 6800 and playing on med-low quality and it sucks at 50-60 fps. its a PNY 6800 128mb i got over the summer. i have and AGP 8x board.. and i think getting an all new MB and gfx card in 4 months time is a waste of money.. so should i get the $120 evga 6600gt agp? will i get 100 fps in CS;S on high settings?
 
i play on 2x/4x on 1280x1024, fps max 75 cuz i know anything higher i will freeze, is it cuz of my memory too? sometimes my comp just stops and i'd have to restart, i have kingston valueram cas3 2x512 not overclocked

Quoted For Truth.

The 6800 should be performing well enough, you COULD try using the dx81 flag a previous poster suggested - less eye-candy but should run smoother.
 
yup 8,1 difference is barely noticable. go ahead, try. then go to 90 and see the difference if u can at all. 70 is also possible but so hideous its not worth it. 81 fps are def higher on an older card though, even with my 6600gt😛

as for lockups, ur psu...what is it? probable culprit
 
whats FTW??
can someone pleae help me adjust the setting for CS:S on my 6800 then? i want to get some smooth gameplay and i'm used to 100fps on 1.6 so anything less than 70 is choppy to me.. i have the altest drivers, i have a 530 watt PSU, but its not brandnamed.. can someone send me an email at LOUISSSSS@gmail.com to help me tweak my video card to get maximum performace for source? thanks guys
 
do you think a thermaltake 420 watt will power my ASUS p5p800, 3.2 ht, 2x512 kingston cas 3 ram, 6800 128mg, audigy 2 zs plat, and 7 case fans? thanks
