HarU 0 Posted July 31, 2001 Hey guys, i was wondering if anyone is using the reference detonator drivers on nvidia's site. The 12.xx ones...are they any good? Im still using the official detonator 3s. The reason i ask is because i am getting some crappy performance in Counterstrike. When there is no action and im just standing around i get 72 fps. When im actually doing stuff it drops down as low as 40 fps!!! This doesn't make any sense. CS should scream with my computer specs: Asus A7v 800 mhz. T-bird 512 megs pc-133 ram Asus V7700 Geforce 2 pro 64 meg ddr SBLive Western Digital 7200 RPM 40 gig ATA 66 drive Shouldn't i be getting better performance than a 40 - 50 fps average?? Is it the drivers? You guys have any input on this? Any help and/or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post
Greggy 0 Posted July 31, 2001 Try this... 1) Determine your desired refresh rate at the resolution you play Counter-Strike (eg for me its 85Hz at 1024x768). 2) Using notepad.exe, open the config.cfg file located in your Counter-Strike directory. 3) Look for for the following line: fps_max "72" 4) Either add/edit the line so that the game engine uses your desired refresh rate eg. my line is as follows: fps_max "85" 5) Save and Exit the file. Enjoy the speed boost! This should be done to your Half-Life config files and all Half-Life modifications (if such a config file exists for them). Share this post Link to post
PsychoSword 0 Posted August 2, 2001 You need to install the AGP Gart driver. I get the same framerate as you with my underclocked Geforce 256. Share this post Link to post
