with a gig of RAM, ati 9800 pro and a 3200+ A64, what settings should i have on CS:S? i want perfect playing, so skipping on shudders. right now i have it at 1280x1024, all on high. Trilinear, no antialaising. Other ppl with simialar systems, what are ur settings at?

 

[yankeesfan]

same as you, very similar system.

i got a similar system. 1280x1024x no AA or AF, all high except for low shadows and simple reflections. runs good w/ frame drops to 30 in huge fights. but game looks awesome =D

It automatically detects your hardware and sets the settings to what will run smoothly. It's pretty accurate, but you can drop a couple settings and raise others like I do. I turn reflections and shadows down while turning textures up.

I have a now aging 2.3 athlon /w 512 ram and a 9800 pro.

I run 1280x960, 4xAA, 16xAF, auto detect the rest.

Pretty smooth, never have problems even in complicated scenes.

BTW, is there a way to show fps in css?

If it already runs fine, then what else do you want? If you want super smooth in all cases, then just run 640x480 with lowest everything. Duh.

Mine is almost the same setup as yours, and I'm running at 1600x1200, settings all on high, 2xAA and 2xAF averaging 57 fps. I didn't think it would have run that good, but it does. Some areas drops the fps down into the 30-40 range, but it doesn't happen often. I LOVE how friendly the engine is to hardware....

2700+ 9800pro@XT I run 1280x960 4xAA 8xAF in HL-2 I play without AA in CS:S as I don't find it gives something extra, nad it should be as smooth as possible.

alright, thanx for all the input. i guess it must be my monitor then. cuz i have it on all auto detect and like i get little splits in the game where theres like a distinct diferance between the bottom middle and top of the screen. only for like half a second though, it just kinda bothers me.

I have a 2500+/9800Pro/1Gig ram and CSS is slow as molasses... 1024 x 768 I never get over 40fps

Something must be wrong there Kai920. I get decent (60 for hardly any action, drops to about 30 during big fights) fps, and I only have a slightly faster CPU and half the RAM, plus I play at 1280x1024. I turn a couple of details down like shadows, but I think I have the regular DX9 reflections, which only made it slowdown a lot in singleplayer. I also play with my 9800P overclocked slightly, but probably not to XT speeds.

 

[suklee]

Hmmm I don't know what it is then. Maybe I just shouldn't expect too much.

I'll try a reformat sometime with the latest Catalyst drivers...

yes, go into console and typw net_graph 3.
