Ok, I have an extreeeemely weird problem in CS:S

I'm on my new computer, yesterday I was running great fps, around 30-60fps which is great seeing that I have a GeForce FX 5200 PCI card...

Well I installed The Ship and it did the DX April Update (I already had v9c, but it had some update), well not I'm gettings 10fps on CS:S...

I don't know if the update is the problem or not...

Please don't say it's because my system is bad, because I have a Dell 2400 right next to me with the same graphics card, worse processor, and worse ram and it runs CS:S at 30-60fps too...

I don't think it's the DirectX update though, because I had this update on the Dell 2400 and it runs CS:S fine still... It may be an error with x64 Windows though, please help me...

My changed settings are:
rate 25000
cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100
fps_max 100 (it will never reach this, but who cares)
net_graph 3

do a system restore.....it'll undo the update. See if that was your issue

I have the same card, run all settings at low and run the game with the parameter "-dxlevel 70"

According to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
my
Video Card Driver Version (DirectX)
Your driver version number is: 6.14.10.9371

My DirectX is DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Well my driver is 6.14.10.9371 so take the last 4 numbers... 93.71, the latest ForceWare

 

[gonX]

Oh yeah, don't use those drivers with the FX5200.

Get the 84.56's instead.

 

[frogy]

Ya, I thought that's why it wasn't working

Thanks a lot for that link, I was having a little trouble finding download for x64 old drivers, lol, but now my first try on a google search gave me the same link

 

[gonX]

Amazing that you're running that graphics card and X64 at the same time...

 

[ENTERPRISE]

Its not something you see everday that . However for that card as said by Gonx dont use the 9 Series drivers for that card. . Also be ure to update your chipset drivers as those can have an inflence also

Please tell me

I've went from 90 avg. in the stresstest on my FX5200, down to stupid 60 avg!

I want to kill Valve sometimes, and I'm very sure that I'm not alone to that, lol.
