How can I increase my frame rate? I currently have a X700 Pro AGP, AMD Athlon XP 2400, 80GB Exelstor master, 20GB Quantuim fireball, 500W ebuyer extra value power supply, 1GB Crucial DDR400 RAM. I'm currently getting 20fps on CS:S

Any help would be appreciated,

Kurt

How many background tasks are running while you play? Too many apps will slow down even the fastest comp.

Have you made sure your drivers are fully updated.

[rumble291]

yeah all upto date 6.4 catalyst drivers etc. I dont have that many backround programs only like xfire,atitray and Mcafee

could try to update your drivers to softmod drivers i noticed a frame rate increase after having upgraded mine even thou i have a radeon 9550 which is a really low end card,
troppo

Might try turning off mcaffee it did used to cause conflicts with CSS.

[rumble291]

done both of them still get a low frame rate. The only thing I can think of would be to upgrade to an athlon 64 3700 but how much would that increase my frame rate by? All I want is to be able to play CS:S at about 50-60fps or higher if possible. If upgrading is the only option which would be a good motherboard to go for with AGP?

Thanks,

Warrior, I have McAffee and it doesnt' make a diff. on or off in CS:S...guess they fixed that?

Second, Kurt, I'm not CPU junkie but I know that my system (see below) plays CS:S in the higher realms of FPS

[rumble291]

Yeah I think I need a better CPU and I should be able to get quite high frame rate. Can any1 answer my other question then?

Thanks,

Kurt

go to http://www.omegadrivers.net and download and install their drivers. their drivers are more optimized that ATI's.
