What FPS so you get with CS source?

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 03:42 AM

I just want to know wht kind of fps everyone gets on their laptop with cs source. i want to compare it to mine, please also state system specs and in game graphics settings

I get 20-30 with mobility radeon 9800, 1gb ram, 3.2ghz
Everything set on high no AA or AF.

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 03:49 AM

I get 35-40 (depending mostly on which drivers) with everything on max, 1440x900, 6x AA, 16x AF.
Outta curiosity could you post more detailed specs to compare to.

nitrousoxide52 · Jul 7, 2005, 03:59 AM

I get 50-60 settings on high with specs below, and my FPS hit 145 once on prodigy, that map is the best for FPS, I get like 70-90 there. I never drop below thirty except when C4 explodes.

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 04:12 AM

What the crap guys, should i get more then 20-30 fps with these specs?
3.2ghz HT
mobility radeon 9800 256mb
1gb DDR2 400mgz
100 gb hardrive

Ive tryed everything for more fps, got the omega drivers, ran diagnostics, i even reformated my hardrive to make sure i had no viruses. I even get 30 fps with everything on low and 800X600 res.

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 04:28 AM

um...yeah I think so, cause my computer isn't so much better than you to beat you that bad, (as you can see, in fact with the extra 128 mb you should maybe beat my scores).

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 04:35 AM

can anyone suggest anything to fix my problem? lol

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 06:08 AM

when is the last time you reformatted, it could just be that you have a lot of junk built up, running in the background etc. (I know many people that have MANY things running in the background and then complain that their comp is slow), that should solve your problem, but it might not be worth it to you, and is a rather drastic solution (I personally like reformatting every other month or so, but i'm wierd).

nitrousoxide52 · Jul 7, 2005, 06:10 AM

Woo, I beat everyone except possibly yoda, yoda run on 1024x768 0af 0aa, and see what FPS you get

No the x700 chip is alot better than the 9800 one, so the extra 128mb won't really help all that much, and anyways Source engine is very efficient so, you only really need 128mb.

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 06:22 AM

even so i shouldn't trounce his scores especially since he isn't using AA or AF and I am

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 06:23 AM

outta curiousity, what kind of numbers do you get in other games (doom 3 timedemo, 3dmark score, etc.)

nitrousoxide52 · Jul 7, 2005, 06:26 AM

I don't have doom so I didn't run the time demo, I have to run 3dmark05 again, one sec, gotta re-dl it.

nitrousoxide52 · Jul 7, 2005, 06:28 AM

I doubt I will beat your scores, I'm not even sure why I get such high FPS in cs:s lol, when I overclock the FPS goes up by like 30 lol.

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 06:29 AM

oh i actually meant tristar so we could help him, but hey, what the heck, i can compare to you too

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 06:50 AM

umm i dont have doom 3, the only other game i can compare with is battlefield 2, dont know what fps i get, but with all the settings on high it is not very playable, i run BF2 with 1024X768 with everything on medium and i will get the odd choppyness.
I really thought reformatting would solve my problem. Could it be a hardware problem with my card?
My computer is under warranty for one more month, so if it is hardware id like to get it changed asap :P
The only this is i ran diagnostics and it didnt find any errors

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 06:55 AM

Just tryed the new CS:source map cs_assault and i run a steady 10-15 fps lol

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 07:25 AM

hmm. if you only have one more month of warranty you might want to get a claim started so you're not left out if it is a problem, (and it very well may be). cause your system should be able to handle source with no AA or AF (look at nitrous's system he shouldn't be embarrassing your computer like that), it might just be hardware problems. What brand/model laptop you got?

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 07:32 AM

its a dell inspiron 9100, how am i going to prove it to them if i pass all the diagnostic tests though?

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 07:34 AM

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 07:37 AM

hmm...i dunno, but if you are getting drastically lower scores on benchmarks than you should even after a fresh reformat (eliminating software probs) then you have a hardware issue, and there isn't much they can say to deny this. so i don't know what to say about this, maybe someone here with more knowledge about this kinda stuff than me can help us out some more.

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 07:39 AM

Could there be something i have enabled that is robbing me of performance, such as in the ati toolbar? or maybe a ram problem?

On 1024x768 settings on high, trilinear filtering, and no AA i do 93-94 on 3 times doing the stress test, I don't play much CS so i don't have a clue about this map vs that map

.

Definately a possibility, probably not ATi toolbar, but it could be something else.
I'm reminded of my campus minister who plays CS:S with about 50-75 background apps running at a time, (and he then wonders why it looks and runs so much better on my computer

, of course he plays with a touchpad so there is no helping him

). What drivers are you running.

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 07:43 AM

The latest omega: 2.6.42, BTW how do you run the HL2 stress test?

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 07:49 AM

In CS:S it's one of the options in the main menu.

btw, i edited my previous post you might want to look at it if you read it before i changed it.

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 07:53 AM

have you tried the official Cats it isn't common, but some people see better scores with them than with omegas, use the ones with CCC if you try it so you can use Catalyst AI, that could give you a boost, but you shouldn't be that low with any new drivers.

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 07:59 AM

umm i tired the latest mobility drivers, are they it? or do i have to use the mobility modder and get the cats for desktop cards

That would probably be best, as the newest cats are the best.

Tristar · Jul 7, 2005, 08:06 AM

Ran the stress test and got 76fps average on 1280X768 with everything on high and trilinear

yoda133113 · Jul 7, 2005, 08:16 AM

that isn't a bad score, wonder why ingame performance is tanking ?
