Cruddy computer FPS raising

[WaterSnake]

Hey again guys and gals and such...

On the weekends, I depart for my dad's house, away from my good computer that I know and love, and on to a cruddy computer that I despise and hate. However, I still want to play CSS on the weekends. I could you give me some console commands or "hacks" if you will that could increase the fps (I don't care about graphical or sound quality as long as my refresh rate makes it so I can play the game)

There are many ways, try just simply lowering your video settings.

Also, I find on my laptop that if the resolution is low it's a lot easier to play in windowed mode than fullscreen.

 

[Chuck Norriso]

my fps is always a solid 80 but in jail is craps up

Here is a good hack.

Buy a 30 dollar PCI express GPU.

CS:S doesn't take alot of cash to run well.
