Geforce4 and Counter Strike prob...

[Futher]

My friend recently purchased an MSI G4 MX440-T (8861-010) GF4 GeForce4 64MB video card for his comp. It was installed correctly and all the drivers were updated and everything seemed fine. I go into the console of CS during game and type fps_max "99" and fps_modem "99" It sets the max FPS to 99, BUT... it only goes up to a steady 60 and never over. So the max fps is still 60, but I don't know what else I can do to change it... He is running DirectX if that matters....

Turn off v-sync, and look for a program called NVRefresh... it's a bug with 3d games in 2k/xp I believe.

how would I go about shutting off V-sync..... and if anyone has a link to NVRefresh, it would really be helpful. Every site that I find that has it is in German =/ Thanks

Go to this URL to download the NVRefreshrate fix: NVRefreshrate fix

To enable/disable v-sync in CS; go into the console and use the command: vid_wait "x" where 1, instead of "x", is enabled and 0 is disabled.
"V-sync effectively limits the frame rate to your current refresh rate at a given resolution. Performance can improve with v-sync disabled (Frames are rendered as fast as they can be regardless of refresh rate), although you can experience image tearing &/or controller lag as a result. With v-sync enabled you won?t experience either image tearing nor controller lag, although frame rate will be limited to your refresh rate. As such I?d recommend enabling v-sync for best image quality & disabling it when you intend to benchmark Half-Life performance."
For more "tweaking" information in Half-Life/CS i recommend visiting: Half-Life/CS Tweaking Guide
