help wit 9600xt pleeeeassseee

hey lads/ladies

erm as the topic suggests i have a problem with my asus 9600xt

now what has happened is that i bought this card for the soul purpose of playin cs :P (to get 100fps solid) now the hl engine is fairly old and i presumed that i would get 100fps with a fairly up to date card and this was so for the first few minutes i played cs..now when i would run out into an open area the fps would drop to 30-40-50 then back to 100 and this keeps happening. now if any1 could help me fix this i'd be grateful to them FOREVER

< i only want 100fps not too much to ask

...ive listed my specs below and what ive tried:

XP2000
512ddram
ASUS9600xt
Mobo is via chipset based

ive overclocked this card to a successful: Core: 594 Mem:330.8 ive also tried other various speeds but not alot of luck there

, im not sure if this a good over clock or not maybe some1 could shed some light on that

/ or list there oc speeds

ive also tried changing the ap. size in the bios from 128 to 64 but this only made the game laggier. disabling smartgart/running x4/x8 but not alot of difference there. Lastly ive tried lower versions of the catalyst driver/ asus driver/ turning off vsync(turning it on) umm turning down some of the settings in the control pannel options :/ < just about everything i think

.

thx for all your help

Do you have Fastwrites enabled or disabled? Also have you tried any INf file tweaks for CS since it is a older game and buggy?

Turn off the frame counter

As long as you stay higher than 30FPS it shouldnt affect your gaming at all

i do get higher then 30 but when fps drops i glitch and it gets really annoying when shootin a enemy..my old matrox g400 functioned better then this :P

soul I dont think your going to get 100fps no matter what you do if your refering to cs 1.6. I have a similar setup:
Mobo with a Via chipset
1800xp
1gig of 2100ddr
and an Asus 9600xt

I do reach 100 but I dont stay there. I noticed more of a benefit with my fps in CS when I added the ram yesterday than I did when I added the vid card. Boost your cpu a little and maybe add some ram, you'll see 100fps solid. Now with other games the vidcard had a huge impact on my fps, I guess some games are just more cpu/ram dependent while others are more video dependent.
