fps?

[ryansmile]

is there any way to make fps higher without buying new video card?
im on low settings and still averaging 20-30 fps...
im saving up for a new vid card.
but its frustrating with low fps.

not much.........you can lower your resolution, overclock your CPU/GPU

but in the end, the only real way to get better FPS if by getting a new video card.

Are you rinning vista?

You could actually go back to xp and get a small increase, just make sure you have all the latest xp drivers for your equipment........you could actually have a cpu bottleneck....all you can really do is drop resolution, turn off aa if it's on and any programs running in the background you don't need...........good way to check is a little known program that actually was created by microsoft called autoruns.

It'll tell you everything that is running and will let you turn it on or off....

try to use a high fps cfg?!
they will make your game look not that good, but its still playable
and itll pump you at least 20 fps

 

[ryansmile]

what is that?
and also
if i add more memory could that possibly help?

RAM/memory doesn't do much for your frames. If you're going to spend money towards RAM, redirect those funds to a video card.

Or in your case, if you're stuck with AGP, get a new motherboard with PCIE16.

i use the CEVO ( CyberEvolution ) fps config with a few changes you can find it here

http://www.cevo.com/?page=downloads&func=css

If you have concern or worrys about clicking this link just google " Cevo " click on downloads, cs:source. should have this info.

Client Configuration Files v3 Config 07-06-2007
These are the Official CEVO Counter-Strike Source Client configuration files. This ZIP file contains the CEVO FPS Config and a default version of a config.cfg configuration files. Extract these files into your cstrike/cfg directory.


Another thing you could try with out downloading anything is

1. open your console
2. type " fps_max 300 "

a cfg file you could try is in here. and if you do not know how to do that.

Go into steam/steamapps/USERNAME/counter-strike source/cstrike/cfg

open a new file as a notepad, copy and paste what is says in there.

Right click it and take off the .txt on it and it would be saved as a CFG.

( If you do not want some of the things on there, just erase them. )

Could you post your current specs on your system and maybe we could better assist you. Also you could get a decent video card that would allow you to play on decent settings for pretty cheap.

Uh... you have way more problems than your video card. A P4 is soooooooo outdated, single core proccesor. A new video isn't going to do anything with that bottlenecking your face off.
