Counter-Strike Source FPS drops

[AlawY]

Hey guys!

I have this problem with css fps dropping, happens quite often. It seems like the game is using only 20% of my graphic card. Resulting the fps going down to 50fps. I should be able to configure gpu settings to run the game with more power but I don't know exactly how.

I was hoping someone knew how to fix this, since I didnt have this issue with the last gpu I had... although I never checked how much power the game was taking from the gpu then.

My nephew sometimes play besides me with a laptop and getting higher fps than me:/. And like I said, there should be a way to make the game (or the gpu) to require/take more from the graphic card.

Regards

Is multicore rendering enabled in your video options?

 

[AlawY]

Yes it is, I tried disabling but it lowers the fps even more.









EDIT: mat_queue_mode 2 did higher the FPS a bit :>

Keep it enabled, try mat_queue_mode 2 in console too.

 

[AlawY]

To be honest, not just a bit. But more like double xD ty

disable vertical sync if it's enabled. FPS should quadruplicate

 

[AlawY]

Of course it is off, but If I turn it on the fps stays at 120 and does not move. However, the vsync does its job and ruin the gameplay so I have to turn it off and play with lower fps but smoother gameplay :<

Most monitors can only display 60 fps though.

20 fps on v1 ftw !

hehe, no but disable the vertical sync, that worked out for me

 

[AlawY]

Well, I need the fps to run the game smoothly. I don't understand what the problem is... every other game is running smooth

It's the mod and all the players. Get a config that really makes your CSS look like shit and your fps should increase by alot.

I used to have one in TF2, basically made everything look like Minecraft and you could pick out alot more details, which ultimately also made you a better player.

Alawy has 2 SLI Gtx 670's and an i7.
I only have a hd 7870 and an ivy i5.
I never had a fps drop.

Got the same problem as alawy. i lowed all advanced video settings, lowed the resolution. NO effect. when there are 40+ players on the server (map is important too, 4way runs best!) i only get 30-40 fps.. and my aim starts to fuck then. can anybody post a cfg? or tell how to build by my own?

*these "high fps cfgs" of esl etc.. don't help much, the zombie model gone for eg..

all settings low! if this not work try download fps configs wich is very usefull! if this does not work, buy new pc/laptop!
i got like between 100 and 200 fps on each map, but some maps like forgotten town and couple others eat to much fps =P so i got drops aswel like every body
but still i can play fine ;PP

Hm new pc must not be i think. My is only 3 years old and got new videocard (Ati 5850 HD) last summer.. but maybe my cpu ( amd athlon 2 x4 630 2.8Ghz each core) is to low/ to old. As i said, most "high fps" cfgs are useless..( like kiloswiss, its for normal css and not for zm).

I guess the problem is with the Nvidia drivers? I have the same issue with AssassinsCreed3. When I turn off SLI, I get around 50fps in certain angles. But when I turn it on, I get around 40.... This is one major problem I have
