Hi guyz,

Got a Dell E228WFP a couple of days back. Have installed CS 1.6 and when I go to play, it gives me variable fps from 10-99 offline, it does not give me any constant fps in any range(like I used to get in my old samtron a constant fps in range of 80-85 online). As a result I am unable to play as smoothly as I am used to. Also I fear that it will deteriorate when I go to play online.
Am using WIDESCREEN-OPENGL-1650*1050 in-game setting on a 8500GT card.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.
 
A monitor that big, a resolution that high.. and the thing powering it is a puny 8500gt!! Mclaren SLR powered by a Santro engine.. :P :P

Jokes aside, not sure if this'll work, but give it a try.. limit the max fps to a certain value around 60~

fps_max is the command in CS: Source, guess it'll be the same in 1.6 too..

I ran HL2 @ 1680 x 1050 resolution on a 6800 GT and got about 40~45 FPS. So I don't think the card is the problem.
 
ok first of all.. cs1.6 works even on a Nvidia5200fx so dont tell me tht 8500gt cant handle it.

to solve your problem, make sure v-sync in the nvidia control panel is set to "force -off"

then play on the lowest resolution possible on your monitor.

if tht does not help you then i can give u some commands tht reduce gfx of the game and give better fps.

Correct me if i'm wrong, a 6800GT is a better card than the 8500GT..

@rivunited, its the resolution tangent is playing on, thats why i said puny 8500GT..
 
And besides that, no CS Pro will ever play CS on a high-resolution. For your monitor size, the equivalent of 1280x800 (Or whatever is close to that) will do just fine!
 
^^ CSS will lag badly in software mode, I think new games should have software mode to evaluate CPU performance...
 
thanx for the advice guyz. yes i do have a low end graphics card :ashamed: , but still CS 1.6 should not be a problem. Actually the problem was somewhere else. There was some grounding problems with the electrical framework, as a result the whole system was having some charge on it. Got it rectified, and now its fine, getting 100 fps offline.

i really doubt that had anything to do with your fps being low. but good hear that its fixed.

Certainly, but its a 3 generation old card and the 8500GT should not be a lot worse. I am guess it should lie somewhere between a 6600GT and 6800.

lol.. This is something new. So guy's if someones getting low FPS in Crysis, better check your electricity grounding before changing your GPU. :bleh:

On a serious note, If its really connected with the electricity then I think it had more to do with stable supply than with grounding. Maybe you are were not getting a stable supply.
