Counter Strike and Radeon 8500LE

[YeloAggie]

Can any one who plays CS with this card tell me how to get my FPS above 100. I changed my Config.cfg file to 300 but it will not go passed 100 on the net_graph command or cl_showfps command. It was originally at 72 but I changed the Config.cfg and got it to 100. Another thing is that when I entered one server that showed your FPS it said that I was at 130 but the net_graph showed 30. This was at the screenshot of the CT on load up show I bet that when the screen changed to the game that my FPS would go up. Right? It's really no problem because I my picture is great but I just wanna know if there is a problem or if it can get better. Thanks for any help.

Oh yea my card is running at 275/275.

cs is locked at 100 fps, u cannot get it higher no matter what




hey, the game is pretty darn old!

Did you disable SmoothVision...you know its enabled by default.
Correct me if I'm wrong...I don't have much knowledge about Radeons and CS.

Edit: Forget what I said, I guess someone beat me to it!

theres somethin in the AT faq's that address a CS/radeon prob i think, i forget the specifics and it may be totally unrelated, but give em a once over for the hell of it

edit: what blurry said...

hey thanks guys. now i know. man that sucks. but why did the server say that i was at 130 fps then? does cs just lock it at 100 but it really performs at higher fps. im at 1024*768 in opengl mode if that helps. i know its old.......but man that game is the SH1t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey dude i have 8kha+ xp1700+ 256crucial ddr 80gb maxtor r8500le (250/275) and i run CS at 1600x1200 (opengl --DX works like poop) and its as smooth as it is at 1024x768... i still top out at 72fps tho...so the rig still has more juice to go :-D

the graphics are so good at that res

 

[stryder2929]

nope, the game is locked locked at 100, if something says u have higher its wrong


btw, what server do u play on, i play in http://cs.wombatsweb.com/server.asp

"but why did the server say that i was at 130 fps then?"

d00d, if you stand facing a corner and don't move, you can get a couple thousand fps for a split second.

Truform is turned on by default, if you want to turn it off I believe its "ati_npatch 0" without the quotes.

Yea c is limited to 100

Ok guys I believe that cs is locked at 100 and that makes me feel a whole lot better. Know I know my card is running at its best, but just to prove my point, the ip is 207.44.163.127:27015. It should be Texas Gun$lingers server and pay attention to the text that the load up screen displays.

you could try out typing timerefresh to tell what fps you're getting...not sure if it really works though.
