CS:S Performance

masterk · 4 Mar 2006 at 15:29

Hi guys, i am getting a little annoyed at fps in CS:S, im running an A64 3500+ and an X800XL with 1gb of cas 2.5 ram. On maps like aztec (and especially at spawn points with lots of players) i get a noticeable slowdown. I have been playing with the settings but not sure it makes a big difference.

Some people have mentioned the r_lod command, do any of you guys use this? Or have an autoexec cfg i could have a look at?

Thanks.
