Counter-strike FPS drops

[primarypunisher]

Yesterday for no apparent reason my fps in counter-strike just suddently started dropping to 5-20, ive tried everything to fix it all soreta of console commands uninstalla nd reinstall cs, reformattred my PC, tried the old cat 3.6 drivers got the newest one tried d3d and opengl at all resolutions and no matter what it is the same. I have a 9600xt.

9600 XT is too slow for counter-strike, may I suggest you upgrade to a 9800 XT?

j/k

There is a known ATI video card problem with CS. There exists further patches for the games you can get I've heard about. Google for em?

yes ati released something saying use the older 3.6 patch but ive tried that and its the same. but that was for problems occuring witht he 3.8 and 3.7 patches. any other patches please tell me.

You shouldn't need a new card...I've got a Radeon 9600SE (it was a freebie)...fps: 100

There's a MAX_FPS setting in the cs ini file. Make sure that's set to 100. (apparently CS won't do any higher than that)

Hell I cant even get CS to run on Cat 3.10s
