Counter-Strike framerate Q

[redpoint13]

specs:

AMD64 3000+
9800XT
gig stick ddr400

ok so.. if i have developer 1 on, fps max at 500, i get up to 250-300 frames. But as soon as i see 1 person on my screen its dropped to low hundreds, and numerous people continue dropping it. obviously it should drop a little because seeing more models would do that... but it just seems like somewhat staggering drops.

anyone else get this issue? know a fix?

Everyone already knows that the human eye can only see 15 FPS. (Sarcasm)

i know that it doesnt even make a difference with that high frames, its just i like seeing a really high # for FPS ;p

actually developer set to 1 doesnt help you any at all

it actually can hurt you

if you have it on it can actually make you run slower. just pull out a knife and have someone that has developer set to 0 run with the knife next to you and watch him outrun you.

that said.. if i were you i would pump up the resolution as high as you can go then start adding AF and AA as much as you can.

i run at 1920x1200 with 16AF and 8AA and i dont dip at all even when someone pops a smoke nade its a solid 60fps with vsync or 99 w/o

seeing 5000 fps wont make any difference so dont worry about that. the only thing that kills my fps is if i turn truform on to any level higher than 1.. so make sure you dont have that on.

I thought CS capped fps at 100??

 

[UrinalCakeMIx]

From what I remember, anything over 100 = duplicate frames. I could be wrong tho, it wouldnt be the first, or twelth time.

HL engine doesnt draw more than 100. even if you set it with developer 1.

hmm... ive heard the slow down with developer 1 thing, but it just feels so smooth i dunno.. ill check it out, thnx..

I found I have to enable V-Sync with CS or I see tears when I move the mouse quickly. Also my OpenGL framerate is terrible, don't know why. It drops to 40fps sometimes with AA/AF off, I can play with D3D and AA/AF with no problem. Only thing is it's a bitch getting decals to work with D3D, have to use the command

"gl_polyoffset -0.05"

or something.
