There are alot of things that factor into you FPS in CS. Alot of you reg and fps has to do with what server you playing in. some servers you'll have an awesome ping and everything is going get and on other servers its the opposite.
cl_rate 25000
cl_fpsmax 999
thats what i use presently on Jag server, but i change my settings dependin on my ping. here is some information that will help configure CS to play at optimal lvls for you PC.
Anti-Virus
See FPS Maintenance article, also sticky to this forum.
Follow that guide very carefully, on the Services some will have a * beside them, scroll down and it will show you what that service does. Scroll down and make sure it doesn't disable something that you need, (ie. Smart Card)
Some other things I have found extremely helpful is registry tweaks, here are a few that I recommend and will increase preformance. These are only ones I recommend that won't damange your computer at all.

Those will increase your Windows/Game preformance immensly.
Drivers
are extremely key to running a game good, now the drivers I suggest all NVIDIA users use are the 44.03 drivers made by NVIDIA, these drivers are not available for newer cards (ie. 6800GT), I do not know anything about ATi because I have been an NVIDIA user since the day I started.
Drivers:

Before you install the drivers I suggest you follow these steps to remove your older drivers so there isn't a conflict installing the new drivers.
1. Download DriverCleaner, its a simple and small program that will remove any old NVIDIA files that remain on your computer. (Link below)
2. Download the 44.03 drivers. (Link above)
3. Reboot and tap F8 button continuesly and boot into safe mode.
4. Go to add/remove and remove your NVIDIA drivers.
5. Reboot and tap F8 button continuesly and boot into safe mode.
6. Run driver cleaner, select NVIDIA in the drop down box and click clean
7. Reboot and tap F8 button continuesly and boot into safe mode.
8. Install the NVIDIA drivers and reboot.
9. You are completly finished.
ATi Drivers
ATi Ultimate Counter-Strike Drivers (1.6)
http://files.filefront.com/ATI_Ultimate_C.. The Ultimate CS drivers are based on the older catalyst, the ones designed around older OpenGL platform games. Specifically for CS, this driver fixes a multitude of bugs including unreasonably high recoil and strange fps drops. From personal experience I went from 200fps (performance quality) on average with timerefresh, to 300-400 on average on the highest quality settings. Speaking for myself (deLiGHT), my FPS never drops anymore in any realistic scenario. This is a MUST haves for ATi product owners.
Warning: This driver was made specifically for Counter-Strike (1.6), the use of these drivers in compilation with newer games may result in lackluster performance. As for 1.6, you may never find a better driver. Current release also does not support x800+ series. Lastly, graphical anomalies have known to make themselves present under 16bit color depth. Make sure you're running in 32bit when playing Counter-Strike. Also, I would NOT recommend using the ".dll" tweak at the bottom in conjunction with these drivers. You should pick one or the other.
Video Card Settings
»Note: The following settings are personal preference but have seemed to work for me really well.
Left click your desktop, Properties, Settings, Advance, Video Card Tab.
» Performance/Quality Tab
-Image Setting: Performance
-Antialiasing: Off
-Anisotropic Filtering: Off
-Texture Sharpening: Off
» Direct3D Tab
-Mipmap Detail Level: Best Preformance
-PCI Texture Size: 90MB
» OpenGL Settings
-Vsync: Off
-Buffer-Flipping Mode: Auto-Select
» Monitor:
-By default your monitor is likely set at 60Hz when it's well capable of reaching 85-100Hz+. Making sure the "hide modes my monitor can't display" box is ticked, select the highest refresh rate your monitor can safely handle. Unfortunately while this does set your desktop refresh rate to optimal values, there is a nasty bug in Windows XP that resets this everytime you play an OpenGL or D3D game (without you knowing, and setting it back to optimal when you return to the desktop). To fix this, download a program such as ReForce to lock your refresh rate at specified resolutions.
http://www.gotfrag.com/portal/files/81/ - Note: If you'd like to have CS run smoother, enable Vsync. With ATi cards make sure to enable triple buffering under the OpenGL compatibility options if you want a performance boost when Vsync is enabled.
Counter-Strike
» Note: This portion of the guide was written by Bossi over at the Complexity Forums, it is pretty much the exact same thing I would have written, everything written here is completly safe. This guide is good for both ATi/NVIDIA video card users.
» Step #1:
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".
» Step #2:
Go to the folder "gldrv" in your Counter-Strike folder. Usually located at "Steam\SteamApps\YourAccountName\coun...
Inside this folder are 2 files. Rename the "3dfxgl.dll" to whatever you want. Now press CTRL + V or do a rightclick and "paste". Now you should see the file we just copied from the "system32" folder.
» Step #3:
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 #4:
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.
If you follow the guide correctly, you should notice a boost in not only the frames, but how smoothly your game is now running.
Your Config
» Note: Some commands are considered illegal in leagues such as CAL.
Your userconfig is extremely important on how your game runs if you don't have that up to par PC, or if you want increase in FPS. I am not going to give you some config that is going to make your game look absolutely crappy, but completly normal, you wont notice a difference in your graphics at all. A few configs that I suggest are jam34, jStar or mine
» Note: Place these commands in your:
C:\Program\Steam\SteamApps\youremail@your...
» Note: Download and Save it to your desktop and place in the folder above.
http://files.filefront.com/userconfigcfg/.. Direct X
If you have already downloaded the latest direct x, you may notice poor or lower performance in Counter-Strike, this is due in part to the shaders the latest direct x provides. It is a good idea to force Direct X level 7 for Counter-Strike, as you will not notice a difference between the two but can gain a significant FPS boost.
To force Direct X level 7, add "-dxlevel 7" without the quotations to your launch options.
• Right click steam -> play games -> my games -> right click counter-strike -> properties -> launch options.
The End
Well, its finally finished took me about an hour to write, I had nothing else to do and I couldn't find anything else to do except read all these FPS problems, this should help everyone. If you need further assistance with anything feel free to message me through the GotFrag messaging system or leave a comment/question in this thread and I shall reply when I am available. If anything else comes to mind or I discover anything else that will help you Ill make sure to post it.
