Low frame rate in cs with 9500 128 mb radeon card

[SaiyanGoku]

Hi, for some reason i get a like around 30 fps in counterstrike.

I have a 9500np 128meg radeon card.

Other games i get good fps, but its just cs where my fps is low.

I play in 1024*768 resolution.

System Spec:
xp1600
256 pc 2100 ram
msi kt3 mobo

anybody have any ideas on how i can increase framerate?

seems like there was an anandtech faq in regards to this...check those

"This problem is most likely caused by ATI's Truform, which is enabled by default in Counter Strike 1.3. Since older Radeon cards (such as the LE, VE, 64 ViVo, 32DDR, 32SDR, 7200 and 7500) do not have Truform technology built into their hardware, they are forced to emulate it in software, thus resulting in a great FPS drop."

I do not believe this is the issue w/ his card.

Are you using the 3.2 drivers? Try the 3.1's instead

SaiyanGoku,

I'm installing 9500 PRO 128mb right now. Update me if your CS game improves and tell me what you did.

Lotsa good threads on this if you search the gaming forums at rage3d.com. A Link to just one of the many.
