Geforce Fx 5200

[Irishllama]

I have this card, And on games, the wierd thing is, i'll max out at like 60 FPS on CS, i mean it will just stick dead on 60.... not go higher, and i thought my FPS_MAX was at 60, its at 90.... so why am i just "STUCK" at 60? any help would be good... thanks.

This is a total guess, I'm not very knowledgable about this stuff, but if you have v-sync on doesn't it cap your FPS at what your monitor refresh rate is?

Which version of Windows are you running?

With most Nvidia drivers and Windows XP or 2000, there is a bug which caps the monitor refresh rate to 60Hz in DirectX or Direct3D games even if your monitor refresh rate in Windows is at a higher rate. However, newer Nvidia drivers provide a manual refresh rate fix in the Nvidia control panel. By default, the manual override setting is disabled, which will cap your monitor's refresh rate at 60Hz when you run a DirectX or Direct3D game.

Well, you're probably 'stuck' because the fx5200 is a plastic cracker. Time to update?
