    Hi all! :) I realy hope you can help me! :)

    Few days ago, I bought graphic card (Gigabyte Radeon 9600 pro), I hoped that I finally can normally play Counter - strike, but no ;( I have realy bad fps drops :(( When I play shooting maps, it`s not so bad (but I don`t like that either), but when I play HNS maps, it`s just drawing me crazy! :mad:


    My PC:

    CPU - AMD Sempron 2300+
    RAM - 512
    Power Supply - 350w (I think so)

    With my CS configs all fine, vsync off...

    I don`t have more ideas...:(

    The funiest thing is, when I got old graphic card (Nvidia mx 400), my fps was fine (sometimes small fps drops), but this graphic card (who have to be better) - is like ****...:(

    p.s.

    Sorry about my english (if I have mistakes) ;)

    lolka,
    you have a number of things working against you here. first you are dealing with two cards that are 8 and 6 years old respectively, they just dont have the horsepower to play any thing newer. secondly you have a single core processor, and not a very powerful one at that. thirdly, 512 of ram is barely enough to run the OS much less tax it with something as intensive and resource demanding as gaming. i imagine you were playing low detail at a very small res?

    I know I have cute old PC, but how I wrote, when I had old graphic card, all was fine, but soon I bought this one, I have this fps drops ;(

    Only game what I`am playing is Counter-Strike, other games I don`t need ;) But now, I can`t even play counter-strike ;(

    Did you uninstall the old Nvidia graphics driver through Add and Remove Programs before installing the ATI driver. What version ATI driver did you download and install?

    No, I didn`t uninstall the old nvidia driver, why I have to? If I don`t have nvidia card more? :) You think it`s may cause this problem? :))

    You should always uninstall the old graphics driver to avoid possible conflicts. You didn't say what ATI driver you installed.

    Ok, now I will know that :)

    I have installed latest driver for my graphic card, taken from official ATI drivers homepage!

    But nothing changes :(

    Did you install Catalyst version 9.8? Driver only or full Catalyst suite?
