BobMatthijs Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Bought a radeon 9600 as an upgrade from a geforce2 and i am getting much worse performance in counter-strike that i did before :crazy: The card seems to work fine on all my other games i have updated drivers and removed my old nvidia ones properly. I have tried reinstalling as well, to no avail. any idea how i can boost my radeon 9600 performance? currently the fps rages volatilely between 5-97 fps, usually staying around 30, whereas my gf2 gave me 59-60fps any help appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuka_t Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 thats might be because you are now playing at a much higher resolution and quality than before. what are your specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it as a sign... find a better game. I've noticed ATI doesnt handle most of the old games so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobMatthijs Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 wow that was constructive, thx a lot soviet :/ i cant afford a top of the range card cause i actually am going to Russia instead over the summer and need to pay for a masters degree next year: a bit more than a top of the range card. The only reason i play cs is cause i have made a lot of mates over the past few years and dont raelly wanna give it up cause its too much fun :) and honestly, it should definitely have a boost over the geforce2 --> instead of a steady 40-60fps with that, i get 5-97 unstable fps with a radeon 9600 it seems to be working fine in all games bar CS, i read the steam forum help thing, thx anova. it did not help though ati have righteously screwed over cs players :/ and yep, its a not an SE version my system summary from sandra is as follows: SiSoftware Sandra Processor Model : Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 1700MHz Speed : 1.70GHz Performance Rating : PR1870 (estimated) Type : Standard L2 On-board Cache : 256kB ECC Synchronous ATC Mainboard Bus(es) : ISA AGP PCI IMB USB i2c/SMBus MP Support : 1 CPU(s) MP APIC : Yes System BIOS : Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PG Mainboard : MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD MS-6534 Total Memory : 767MB SDRAM Chipset 1 Model : Intel Corporation 82845 Brookdale Host-Hub Interface Bridge (A3-step) Front Side Bus Speed : 4x 100MHz (400MHz data rate) Total Memory : 768MB SDRAM Memory Bus Speed : 1x 133MHz (133MHz data rate) Video System Monitor/Panel : Plug and Play Monitor Adapter : SAPPHIRE RADEON 9600 ATLANTIS Adapter : SAPPHIRE RADEON 9600 ATLANTIS - Secondary Physical Storage Devices Removable Drive : Floppy disk drive Hard Disk : ST340810A CD-ROM/DVD : IDE DVD-ROM 16X CD-ROM/DVD : LITE-ON LTR-52327S CD-ROM/DVD : AXV CD/DVD-ROM SCSI CdRom Device Logical Storage Devices 1.44MB 3.5" (A:) : N/A Boot (C:) : 18.6GB (706MB, 4% Free) (NTFS) Backup (D:) : 15.6GB (1.7GB, 11% Free) (NTFS) Recover (E:) : 3.0GB (1.7GB, 57% Free) (FAT32) Vice_city_play (F:) : 660MB (0MB, 0% Free) (CDFS) Gta_vice_city (G:) : 670MB (0MB, 0% Free) (CDFS) CD-ROM/DVD (H:) : N/A Peripherals Serial/Parallel Port(s) : 3 COM / 1 LPT USB Controller/Hub : Intel® 82801BA/BAM USB Universal Host Controller - 2442 USB Controller/Hub : Intel® 82801BA/BAM USB Universal Host Controller - 2444 USB Controller/Hub : USB Root Hub USB Controller/Hub : USB Root Hub Keyboard : Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard Mouse : HID-compliant MX510 Optical Mouse Human Interface : Logitech USB MX510 Optical Mouse MultiMedia Device(s) Device : MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device Device : Standard Game Port Device : Intel® 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller Communication Device(s) Device : Creatix V.90 HAM Data Fax Modem Printers and Faxes Model : HP DeskJet 930C/932C/935C Operating System(s) Windows System : Microsoft Windows XP Home Version 5.01.2600 Service Pack 1 Network Adapter(s) Network Drivers Enabled : Yes Adapter : Linksys LNE100TX(v5) Fast Ethernet Adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
