Anyone with a Voodoo5 play CS? i need some some suggestions...

[spanky]

i just did a fresh install of windows98 and installed the latest 3dfx drivers (which i got from voodoofiles). after installed CS and all updates, i ran CS but was quite disappointed with my fps. i'm running at 1024x768 w/ wickedgl drivers. i usually get between 50-99 fps. it sorta jumps up and down all the time. is that supposed to happen? also, when i ran thru a smoke bomb, my fps also died out on me. anyone else have that problem? on my older cel300a rig w/ voodoo3 2000, smoke doesn't even make my fps flicker. i've posted questions comparing the radeon and voodoo5 before and it seems quite a few ppl feel that the v5 is great for CS. but for me, it seems as if the v5 performs about the same as my radeon and also suffers from the horrible smoke bomb fps-killing problem. maybe i am doing something wrong. for u v5 users who play CS...how is ur rig setup? what drivers are u using? do u max out ur opengl settings in the 3dfx tools tab? what res do u run CS at? is there a patch for voodoo cards and CS? sorry if i sound like i am interrogating u guys feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanx!

Check out my rig.. I'm running a v5 pci with an athlon xp 1700+ @ 1600. I run at 1024x768, with my opengl settings at default, and wicked gl "drivers" installed. The actually v5 drivers that I'm running are the ones you can download from windowsupdate.microsoft.com.. they actually seem to work the best for the card (under win2k atleast). For win98, use the drivers that came on your cd, they're the best ones available, IMHO.

probably already have done so but make sure you're running it in OPENGL and NOT D3D

smoke killed my fps when I was using my old voodoo3 3 months ago.... and it still kills my fps with my radeon 64 DDR so i'd say it's normal.
