I have counter strike: source on my computer and its really laggy when I play. I took the video test that the game has to find out that im only getting 9 fps. I upgraded my drivers on my Nvidia fx 5200 and I even lowered the resolution and made it windowed and still the same results. Any suggestions except getting a new card?

Check what you have open, I find it best to close almost everything, I’m running on 512MB/3.0GHz, and I get usually between 20 and 35 fps, just so you have something to measure it against.

September 28, 2005 at 3:23 am #130942SpikeMemberTry, as LinuxAddict said, to lower some of the graphics render options in your Options > Video tab. That should speed things up.
September 28, 2005 at 3:24 am #130930DavidParticipantLower your detail settings as LA said, and set your resolution to 1024×768 or below, with an FX5200 you probably need to put the detail at the lowest it can go, that card is quite underpowered for Source at high graphics detail/resolution.
[Edit] – beat by spike.
September 28, 2005 at 3:39 am #130935ys8er2323MemberI already said I lowered the resolution and that didnt help. And I also lowered the detail and that did nothing.
P.s.

September 28, 2005 at 3:41 am #130947LinuxAddictMemberI’m amazed you still have a problem. My Card is only 64MB and AGP 4x. Try running it in a window.

Try running it in a window.I said I did that aswell and it didnt work either.September 28, 2005 at 3:44 am #130944SpikeMemberOkay, obviously something isn’t right, here, try to think Yashar, is there ANYTHING you think could be interfering (lower all your settings in Windows and in-game)
Also, is this on a server or locally? Servers can lag, too, you know. Try more than one server, or play Half Life locally and see if it’s better.
September 28, 2005 at 3:45 am #130931DavidParticipantDo any other games lagg like this, or just this one game? Also, what version of DirectX do you have?
September 28, 2005 at 3:46 am #130948LinuxAddictMemberAnd you just said you lowered the resolution not played in a window. Try ending sme processes if you really know what you’re doing.
DirectX shouldn’t matter the game installs 9 or whatever the latest one is.
September 28, 2005 at 3:50 am #130938ys8er2323MemberI have directx 9.0c
