Im trying to get the highest framrate when playing counter-strike in opengl mode but not sure what settings to change (i dont care if the quality goes down, as long as the fps goes up, im happy)

Open gl setting
The first options in the open gl setting is a checkbox for each of the items listed. What should i check/uncheck?
-disable support for enhanced cpu instruction sets
-use unified black/depth buffer
-enable quadbuffered stereo api
-enable overlays
-maximize texture memory
-enable conformant opengl texture clamp behavior

There are also other options, which should i choose?
-default color depth (for texture) -> options are use destop color depth, always use 16 bpp, always use 32 bpp
-Buffer-flipping mode -> options are use block transfer, auto select
-vertical sync -> options are on by default, off by default, always off
-anisotropic filtering -> options are disable, enable

any help?

btw, in the direct3d settings for pci texture memory, if i increase it, would i get better performance?

Why do you want a higher FPS? Is it lagging?

Turn off smoke, or at least its complexity.

it remainds at over 35 fps but half the time, it can drop down it 10 fps. I have tried all the consol commands and let everything to the lowest in the display setting already.

16bit is uglier but that will give you max performance

-disable support for enhanced cpu instruction sets - UNCHECKED
-use unified black/depth buffer - CHECK
-enable quadbuffered stereo api - UNCHECK
-enable overlays - CHECK
-maximize texture memory CHECK
-enable conformant opengl texture clamp behavior CHECK


-default color depth (for texture) -> options are use destop color depth, always use 16 bpp, always use 32 bpp - USE 16bpp (although it will look nasty)
-Buffer-flipping mode -> options are use block transfer, auto select - AUTOSELECT
-vertical sync -> options are on by default, off by default, always off - ALWAYS OFF
-anisotropic filtering -> options are disable, enable - DISABLE

edit:

Also, what driver version are you using? Older drivers might offer you better performance.
