Counter Strike Source FPS

[NickS]

Well, I was playin CS:S today and both my friends were beating my FPS. One had a 7800GT @ Stock and the other a Leadtek 6600GT 256MB PCI-E.

My Rig:
3000+ @ 2.5GHz
2x1024MB Patriot 3200LLK @ 230MHz 2.5-3-3-7
HIS iceQ3 X1900GT @ 700/800 1.400/1.996/1.996/1.432

I run source @ Max Settings 4x AA 8x AF @ 1280x960

Friend 1's Rig:
3500+ Manny @ 2.2GHz Stock
2x512MB Ballistix @ Stock 2-2-2-8
7800GT @ Stock

Runs Source @ Max Settings 1680x1050 @ 4xaa 8x af

Friend 2's Rig:
Opteron 148 @ Stock 2.2GHz
2x512MB Ballistix @ 2.2GHz 2-2-2-6
6600GT 256MB @ 550/1300

Runs Source @ Max Settings No AA or AF @ 1280x1024

How come they get more FPS? Is CS:S a "nvidia" game? It's the newest CLEAN install of drivers. Reformatting doens't help.

So what gives? I have a 7900GS coming, I might test that out to see if I get better FPS.. but, can someone help me?

Ran AdAware SE and that just found 11 cookies. Ran Spybot S&D and that found a few cookies and a reg entry. Didn't seem to help tho.

CS1.6 > CS:S

source is a dog:banana::banana::banana::banana: game.

gameplay > graphics :)

Maybe you had HDR set to something or had some program running in the background at the time.



As for cs1.6 vs source, the only thing I find bad about source is that its full of 10 million steam id noobs that never played 1.6 let alone cs before steam. Gameplay is still the same, defuse and rescue.

btw, for me i get 145 fps in vid stress test

The games are 1)Identical 2)CSS has better graphics 3)CSS has better server plugins 4) CSS has less cheats 5) CSS is still supported.

X1900GT at those speeds should be doing way better than those other cards. This is not an "nVidia" game. Remember back to the X800/6800 series, it was said that the Source engine was built for ATi cards and that the Doom3 OGL games were dominated by nVidia. X1900 series should perform superbly on CSS.

It is probably some minor difference in your graphical settings, such as Vsync, or a driver issue, that is causing the discrepency.

Fist of all all of you should be running it at the exact same resolution and game settings to actually make sure there's a difference in speeds. The third computer will obviously run faster since it's not using AA or AF. So rerun it on all the computers with the same setting and I'm sure your's will be faster. Also make sure you have vsync turned OFF. That will limit your max fps based off of your refresh rate.
