please help with video problem

[robotcholi]

Hi guys,
I have MSI-6309 mobo and voodoo3 3500. I don't know why when I play Counter Strike the video is so slow, only 15 frames per second. I tried opengl and direcx and everything to no avail. I have installed directx 8, VIA newest driver for the mobo, Voodoo card drivers and everything but the frame per second rate is so aweful that i can no longer be able to play CS. Please help..... Thanks a lot in advance Anandtechies!

How fast is your CPU? How much RAM do you have?

have you lowered the visual quality in CS? resolution? make sure it's on 16-bit olor cause thats all the V3 has... try with most of the visual quality down and see if it works, if it does, slowly increase each option till it slows down again, then you'll have a good feel for the "playable" range of quality

WELL, I THINK V3 3500 IS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DECENT GRAPHIC FOR CS. IT WAS GOOD BEFORE I FORMATTED MY COMP...WIERD....
