cs:source graphics problem @ 8800 gts

Shaye87 · 24 Jan 2007 at 14:28

check these images and tell me if there is any way to fix this becuase it's very annoying and I always kill my own team lol.

I have a 8800 GTS with the latest drivers.

I don't have answer to your question but noticed it's running at 56fps on the pic showing. That can't be right :confused:

Running 1680*1050 on everything maxed and always getting 60 fps no matter what i do or where i stand it won't go above 60 fps

and the max_fps is on 300.

Shaye87 · 24 Jan 2007 at 14:49

Hi there,

This is a known issue with the G80 cards, e.g. if you go to nview forums and have a browse or google 'CS:S fog' or 'source fog issue g80' you'll find more information and widespread examples of this in CS:S and HL2

It is not a driver issue, it is an issue with the source engine that is currently being addressed. I read recently that a fix is being tested (can't find link) so hopefully it'll be sorted pretty soon

You may have vertical sync on, check your nvidia control panel

When I read about this I was concerned as CSS has been my main game, however I don't seem to suffer from the problem. I've been looking for it and there is no sign of any fog. Has anyone else said they DON'T suffer from the problem or am I a 'lucky' one?

Shaye87 · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:17

u have got one of the 8800's series card?

jcb33 · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:20

Call my daft but I cant see a problem with the screen shots.... whats wrong with good graphics and 59fps?

DaveOwl · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:22

Yeah an 8800 GTS, could have sworn I wrote that in my post

Booner! · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:26

I have a 8800GTS and it rarely goes below 60fps on max everything..

Shaye87 · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:28

what res are u at? i play on 1680*1050?

do u think i should be getting more than 60 fps?

got a e6600 @ 3.0 ghz and 2 gb ddr 667 mhz memory. with the gts of course.

Raikiri · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:31

Erm, you sure you don't have Vsync enabled somewhere regarding the FPS?

Shaye87 · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:33

where else to check?

in nvidia CP it's disabled

and my screen is running at 60hz, too low i'd say?

it's asus 22" wide screen

PermaChanged · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:34

It all comes down to V-Sync, options, video, advanced, wait for vertical sync off.

Raikiri · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:36

What he said... was updating CSS so I could check

DaveOwl · 24 Jan 2007 at 16:40

My spec -

AMD 4000+
BFG 8800 GTS
Corsair 3GB XMS

yadda....

1152 res, maximum everything, 8xMSAA 16xAF 150FPS guaranteed. It's so jaggyless it's crazy

thanks!

and do u know if there is any solution to the fog bug yet?

Hmm I was playing tonight and noticed this does occur in some places. Seemed to be mainly on the dust maps, couldn't see it on the other ones. Bugger!
