I haven't play CS since I upgraded my system (about 5 months) and I just tried it for the first time recently. I'm getting some seriously bad framerates. When walking around in a level by myself the framerate averages 30-50 (using cl_showfps, NOT netgraph) and when I even look in the direction of hostages it immediately drops to 25-30 and stays there until I leave the area or look in a different direction. I'm running it at 1024x768 in OpenGL. I've gone to all sorts of sites for tweaks to put into autoexec.cfg and the framerates still suck.
Now what's funny is I clock in at 91fps in Quake 3's "four.dm_66" demo running 1024x768x32bpp with everything maxed out. I have the latest Omega drivers (also tried the latest ATi drivers), latest released Radeon tweaker with all the recommended setttings enabled, all Anti-aliasing turned OFF, anistropic filtering OFF, and the card clocked at 183/183. I also did a complete wipe of Half-life/CS (deleted the whole diretory) and did a clean install of Half-Life and CS using only the full updates. I also installed the HL ATI patch at this time. No change in framerates.
This is driving me crazy! My old system consisting of a Celeron 300a@450 and Voodoo2 SLI easily averaged 40-60fps @1024x768, even when playing online with lots of players! Any ideas on what I can do? I'm getting very tempted to throw my Voodoo2s back in just so I can play CS again.
As a side note is there anyway to enable VSync?? It works in Quake 3 (r_swapinterval 1) but no dice in CS, and the tearing is horrible! Also I tried using the profile Half-Life in RadeonTweaker and it did this to my desktop!
