Dude, do the direct8 thing.

Without it - Game looks a little better, I can't get a steady 40fps (locked on fps_max 40) constantly dropping to around 25-30 during nades and a lot of spraying.

With it - Game looks a little darker (just turn birghtness up) I lock fps @ 50 and it doesn't drop because of nades, I locked @ 60 and it kept dropping to 50, so 50 is fine...and it doesn't drop at all

@ bj, please stfu about amd lol, its no better than intel. infact intel currently has the worlds fastest consumer processor.

Just for saying that...

Get an AMD

Seriously though, I hate Intel. Every PC store you go into, Intel. Those god damn TV adverts they have, I hate their logo, the sound in the advert... I remember an old PC... and my Grandad (he's really into PCs) bought me a new AMD processor, which, statistically was 200MHz slower than the Pentium I already had. When we swapped everything ran so much better. So those two reasons coupled together = My hate for Intel

Back on topic, definately try Maxwell's DX method. I did the same with COD2 ages ago, amazing performance compared to DX9.

i agree, intel has an ugly logo

but windows is more Intel ready than AMD ready, you need to install a hotfix to take full advantage of AMD dual core, when it is ready to go for intel dual core.

I think that is kind of stupid, windows should be completely 100% ready for both.

The DirectX8 thing will help but the 7600GS is a Fully ready DirectX 9 card and should not have such a big problem on CSS
It will help though.

thanks again peoples, using -dxlevel 81 only improves the fps by about 2-3. Im gonna go try getting the dust out of all the fans, see if that helps.

Wow lol my pc is 256 ram and 128 mb gfx.. and some other crap.. and mine runs CSS good.. It takes forever to load but once everything gets loaded it runs fine. But this isnt helping you any is it? Anyways.. does other things work fine? Or does only CSS lag?

PlethZorb · « **Reply #21 on:** December 22, 2006, 07:40:18 PM »

hah. err well everything else runs with the same low-end performance of a fx5200 but i can use AA etc...

Do you have it installed?

@ Bj yep i hate intel too

@PZ Check to see if any other games work like VC or SA. Check some other programs like PS and Microsoft Office

Or reformat the HD

My computer is shit, and I can play it with high everything and 4x anti aliasing and get 50fps with dx8.

Maxwell · « **Reply #25 on:** December 23, 2006, 04:58:00 AM »

hmmm, put it back to DX 9 if it only helps by 2-3 FPs, it should be highly noticeable

PlethZorb · « **Reply #26 on:** December 23, 2006, 05:23:48 AM »

lol with all settings on full on SA and nvidia control panel, i get about 10 fps on SA. when theyre are peds and cars, for VC/LC/SA, it lags all the way down to 20fps sometimes...

so would this be a CPU issue or a Graphics card issue?

thanks.

Your PC should be able to handle any GTAs amazingly... There's something seriously wrong with your comp.

Yea.
How old is your com?

BTW Bj : AMD sucks

Brainkiller · « **Reply #29 on:** December 23, 2006, 05:53:32 AM »

Just turn the damn anti aliasing off I don't stunt with AA, I sometimes lag in LC even without firefox, music player or msn on
