I was wondering if any1 knows what i can do to improve my shitty fps. This is what i have currently (which i got off a site a while back). Its more or less good but at times my fps drops to 10-20 in certain areas on certain maps.

Secondly, what are the ideal rates to set cl_cmdrate, cl_updaterate to?

True.

So uh... here are the bestest specs these forums have ever seen. Prepare to be amazed:

Processor - 1.7Ghz
Memory - 512mb
Graphics - 128mbs

If theres anything else u need lemme know and ill try finding it.









(ye i know i need to get a new computer and etc but my excuse for not upgrading is the fact that this is the only game i play. that and i think its pointless to upgrade for that reason alone.)

You run on 800x600 I assume? if not start by putting your game on 800x600

yes sir
 
Enforcing DXlevel 81? Do everything and anything you can to decrease the amount of background processes that you can. Dont run ANY Antivirus on the computer. From personal experience on a shitty machine Anti Virus can steal 10-20ms of ping and drop FPS by around 20-30 in tough situations. Enlarge the size of your page file. Umm.... That's all I can think of now. Google any of the stuff I have said along with "Counter Strike Source" and you should find a forum posting about it... GL and I will keep pondering for ya.
 
And for THIS particular server, the rate settings seem to vary for each and every person. I love this server, but it is probably the absolute worst I have seen for choke in a long time, keep fucking with your settings until you can minimize the shit factor....
