[Mmmm]Homer February 17, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member February 17, 2004 Were you using an nVidia video card before or something else? What games are you getting this problem in? Try more than one if you have only tried in one to see if it is a problem there too. Did you disable vsync? Answer these for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis February 17, 2004 Author Share Dennis Member February 17, 2004 its only like this in CS. i had a geforce 4 ti 4600 128mb before i got this one. i have vsync off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mmmm]Homer February 17, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member February 17, 2004 You could also try posting in the 'On Counter-Strike' forum. Barring an answer there you could try just reinstalling CS before you consider redoing your whole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis February 18, 2004 Author Share Dennis Member February 18, 2004 The drivers for my old card are the exact same for my new card...i think its just that i have a lsow cpu now. and its a dell...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r February 18, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member February 18, 2004 may be a dell but you cpu isnt a dell. and 1.8ghz is plenty for that gpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX February 18, 2004 Share NOFX Member February 18, 2004 heh yea Dell arent all that bad, you just have a bunch of dell crap on your computer and you paid alot more. I had to replace the cpu in a dell today. It was packing a 2.8 hyperthreading p4. Did you guys know they dont even have fans on their heatsinks? do a format.

Guest Inferno February 18, 2004 Share Guest Inferno Guests February 18, 2004 hey hey hey, listen i have some inciteful news this time. ok, listen....and listen closely. I bought a radeon 9500 pro a while back and the thing didnt wanna work correctly...my geforce mx 440 4x was getting better fps at CS then this card. So...i went and reformatted, bought new mobo and everything...only thing i didnt get was ram and a proc. Well finally i asked my dad for some ram and a proc. Well to make a story shorter...you probably need better ram. Proc will help, but...not much...in your case buy the ram and proc. that way you can have faster stuff at the same time. Ram is the biggy here tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mmmm]Homer February 18, 2004 Share [Mmmm]Homer Member February 18, 2004 Inferno, So if, in order to speed up my Honda Civic Si, I should take off the gas cap, get rid of the Civic, and then screw it back onto an Acura NSX and it will go faster?

Rofl!!!! Don't worry I didn't understand his post either. Basicly what he is saying is buying a new CPU and ram is like buying a new car, but using the old gas cap.... Honestly though... Its more like... Buying a new engine and fuel pump for car.... Edited February 19, 2004 by Xoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeK February 19, 2004 Share TeK Member February 19, 2004 Can I argue yet why CS doesn't hit 200 FPS plz? But on the subject at hand, Don't know why ur getting 60 FPS but it could be cause of drivers or backround programs running. Try disabling some of them. I have a XP1800+, 512 ram, and the same video card as your old one, TI 4600. Steady 100fps is immpossible with it unless no people in game. You should see me on aztec in a match :x. I also think its cause these new cards aren't really made for a game 4 yrs old. If your upgrading ur computer just for cs then it isn't worth it. If you bought your card for a game like Farcry then I give u 2 thumbs up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman February 19, 2004 Share Birdman Member February 19, 2004 "I also think its cause these new cards aren't really made for a game 4 yrs old." They should be. That's what AA and AF are for. Old games can look good too. Im not gonna say CS looks as good as Farcry, but @1600x1200 with 4xAA and 16AF it doesnt look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" What resolution are you running at? do you have AA and AF on or off? Your processor is a little slow so if your computer is slowing down in CS that would be my concern. Not the sweet video card you have. Try that video card in another system with a faster processor and I bet itll make you shed a tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickfoot February 19, 2004 Share quickfoot Member February 19, 2004 I had a dell, still do its sitting here colecting dust, i bought a 9700 pro foor it about a year ago, the 9700 pro got a 3dmark score of 9,500 points or so.. well then i built my first computer a xp1700 and an asus aznax mobo with 512 corrsair xms3200LL and my very same 9700 pro now benched 3dmark 2001 at 15,000, and the same 9700 pro is in my intel comp now that benches over 19,000 3dmark 2001 so i bet you just need to drop the dell and get a real computer. My dell is a p4@2.0 with 768 of pc2100 and its for sale. first 300$ takes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
