Ok, I found some things for people that just might work... it worked for me, it should work for you. Fps problems are normal in CS which is why im buying the geforce 6600 512mb... but for right now i got my good old radeon 9200se which IS RUNNING MOSTLY at 100fps, youre 9800 should definalty be running 100fps, my friends did. Anyway here are the steps to anyone having problem with Fps is CS.
Step 1
Update your Graphics Driver to the latest available.
ATI Users go here:
www.ati.com
nVIDIA Users go here:
www.nVIDIA.com

Note: Do not just install the new over the old Driver! Go to your Computer Control Panel and uninstall the old Driver first, reboot your Computer and install the new Driver - reboot again when the Driver ask to![/CENTER]
You can also go to www.tweaksrus.com to find one too...
Step 2
Go to your "C:\windows\system32\" folder and search for the file
"atioglxx.dll" if you are ATI User
"nvoglnt.dll" if you are nVidia User
"opengl32.dll" is the Default OpenGL Driver if you don't use ATI or nVidia
rightclick the File and click "copy".
If you cant find you system32 folder - like me - up at the top that search bar is there... manually type out C:\windows\system32 and it will send you to the folder.
Step 3
Go to the folder "gldrv" in your Counter-Strike folder. Usually located at "Steam\SteamApps\YourAccountName\counter-strike\gldrv".
Inside this folder are 2 files. Rename the "3dfxgl.dll" to "3dnwrk" Now press CTRL + V or do a rightclick and paste. Now you should see the file we just copied from the "system32" folder.
[CENTER]Note: If the file is not there right now, slap yourself at the forehead and return to Step 2! ^^[/CENTER]
Step 4
Open the file "drvmap.txt" with a Editor (Notepad or whatever), but
do not use MS-Word!
Delete everything inside this file! Now write the new Line:
"gldrv/nvoglnt.dll OpenGL Driver" (without the " ") if you are nVidia User
"gldrv/atioglxx.dll OpenGL Driver" (without the " ") if you are ATI User
"gldrv/opengl32.dll OpenGL Driver" (without the " ") if you use Default OpenGL
Save and close this file.
Step 5
Restart Steam, Start Counter-Strike and go straight to "Options". Go to the Video Tab and choose OpenGL (left top "Renderer"), click apply and ok.
That's It!!!
Counter-Strike should now run in OpenGL Mode and is supposed to give you 100 FPS - or atleast higher than your old fps.
[CENTER]Note: Make sure to set your FPS to 100 in CS. Open the Console and type "fps_max 101".[/CENTER][CENTER][/CENTER]
Also go to your Graphics Driver Panel and set VSync OFF.
