Funny how I run constant 99/100 fps which Opengl, graphics are sharper too. I just hate D3D. This goes with all games, like UT2k3

Same here but I get 300FPS (average 200)

You should have had common sense to keep it lol...Anything could happen that would require you to re-enter it...

Try looking in your registry. It might still be there.

Heres my problem. With openGL my I get around 40 fps at 640 x 480 and even worse at resolutions higher than that. If I shoot my gun or use my flashlight it drops to around 25 -30 fps. Not very playable for me. In D3d I...

Have you tried turning V-Sync OFF for openGL? That will give you give you a boost in frame rate at the cost of a little prettiness

Not very playable for me. In D3d I get around 70-99 fps at 640 x 480. Looks better too except for smoke nades for which look like frigging popcorn kernels (which I'm none too happy about). Right now I'm sticking to 1.5, but I'm worried that the D3d problems some people like me are having aren't going to be resolved by the time WON goes down (however unlikely that might be) or just aren't going to be fixed considering only people with crappy computer/videocards are having this problem and lets face it; I'm in the minority. Not complaining just saying its unfortunate.

What videocard do you have? Do you have the latest drivers?

1991 wants their computer back.... seriously man if you get 40fps at 640x480 u REALLY should upgrade your computer. Buy a tnt2 or something for like $10 and at least youll get 50-60 at 1024x768

If you use timerefresh in the console it can display well above 100 fps, i have gotten above 300 using timerefresh in the console.

[DrMagus]

That's not constant though.

try typing developer 1 in the console.



As for the update, its 9:15 (pacific) and i have seen no sign of update yet. How amazing.

rofl, my bad. I assumed it would be released today (wednesday) like it would be weekly.

You might find a tnt2 in a computers store :P

if that fails try ebay.

[MaRLi]

Wait.. what does the developer 1 do?



Can you seriously surpass the 100fps limit in cs? I don't see why you would want to do that, since the 300 stuff doesn't look constant at all.. you'll prolly be dropping below 200 on some occasions.. the question is, is that even noticeable? BTW, what gfx cards are you guys using that have 300 fps?

wrong, its just limited by the developer command. developer 1 alows for higher fps. do better research next time.
