source frustration

[Remogogy]

Over the Last 2 years I have upgraded my vid card 3 times and i still get the same crapy fps in source.

here is what i have.
sys.P4 2.6 dual processor
Nvidia 7600
and 1 gig of Ram.

I get 30 fps standing still and less than 15 in fights.

Can somebody please help with this.
I have never been able to play source.
Every upgrade and every card ive had gives me the exact same crapy performance.

I cant figure it out and its getting very frustrating.

Most of these principles apply to any online game -

Or... He or She could just do it more awesomely!

Go to My Computer > C: > Program files > Steam > SteamApps > your Steam name > Counterstrike: Source ( or what ever game you play ) > Cstrike > Cfg ( It should have another file called Config.cfg inside ) and write this inside a new text file

clear
echo "_Maximum performance Loaded!_"

Then save it as autoexec.cfg ( exactly like that, do not just rename it... you have to save it like that ) then when you load up the game it'll load all these commands that will make the game run more smoothly


For the part that says FPS_max it's recommended to put that number as your monitor's refresh rate to make it run in sync with your monitor
