counter-strike low fps?

Hey,

I thought I'd install steam again, and counter-strike, but it's not working properly.
My fps is about 30 when I play and 60 when I'm not connected.
Do you guys know how to get that up? My card is an fx5200
I know, old crap, but counter-strike used to work even on the most crappy computers!

Is there anything I can do?
I don't want to buy a new cards yet.

Thanks!

Ha! 30 i'm at 10. Here's an article i'm going to try though http://www.enemydown.co.uk/improve-y...article104.php

Tell me how it goes. Also try installing the latest drivers for your graphics card.

enemydown! god that brings back some memories..

Still got the same ole design

Here are a few commands you can input into the console to try and up your FPS:

r_mmx 1
gl_polyoffset 25
fps_max 100

Make sure that Vertical Sync is turned off in your graphics card application settings too.

Could you expalin what they do Anthony.

r_mmx 1 : enables the mmx process in your graphics card drivers (works with nvidia only and some of the latest ati models)
gl_polyoffset 25 : reduces the thickness of models in game to make it lighter on the graphics processor.
fps_max 100 : sets your FPS to 100 by default

Vertical Sync is a setting that refines the graphics by scanning the models vertically every 5 seconds, it severely reduces game speed and frames per second unless you have a top spec machine.

If your playing Counterstrike SOURCE, that could be one of the reasons :P. Its a new upgraded version they made a while ago but with all new enhanced graphics. That could be the reason? I dunno, im stupid. But the old old counter strike should work fine.

With a 5200fx, feel lucky for 1fps.
