Ok guys after upgrading to the spec in my sig, i fired up cs 1.6 and whilst my fps is deadlocked at a impressive 99 (doesn't even budge to 98) i get big stutters almost like lag spikes every so 20seconds ish! (my ping is very good and around 10-13 all the time as i'm on 8meg bb).

Could it be the nvidia drivers i installed (i have the 91.52 driver)?

*note i get stutters with everything at stock aswell as overclocked so that rules that out.

any ideas folks? :confused:
 
Its probably cos you have max settings & only 1Gb ram.
You could try using just 1 core though cos I guess it could be that...
 
urm i don't think this is a problem in 1.6 tbh! and if it was then wouldn't my fps be affected? i got the same fps with my old amd setup of [email protected] and 2x256mb pc2700 twinmos! so somethings wrong somewhere, i think it could be video card drivers, but i'l try and set the affinity if a different driver set doesn't work!

*on a side note if i set the affinity to one core will i have to keep doing this everytime i start steam or does it remember that i have allocated 1 core to it?
 
it'll be your ram almost guaranteed. Regardless of what anybody says a decent gaming rig REQUIRES 2GB of RAM. I upgraded my lowly A64 system about 6 months back and dont suffer from stutter in almost any game (I cant get 100FPS in most though ;) )
 
maybe i didn't explain myself properly! it's cs 1.6 not source, my old amd system got the exact same fps as this system but the ram was only 2x256mb twinmos pc2700 and i got no stuttering with it either (this is conciderably poorer than my current 2x512mb geil!).

you do not need 2gig of ram to play cs 1.6 without stutters lol

*as a measure i was at a lan centre on their comps and these wer acheiving 99fps almost all the time and their spec where - old intel 3ghz prescotts / 512mb ram / nvidia fx5200 so if this can get 99fps and no stutters i'm pretty sure my conroe spec should be able to!
 
as above no, not yet! i will try later when i am home from work, this wasn't a problem when i had a x2 but maybe there is something in the intel dualcore tec? but as i asked earlier does doing this mean i have to keep setting it to one core each time i start steam?
 
CS 1.6 plays fine with 512mb RAM :P

Cant see it being anything to do with the cpu to be fair, from previous expieriences its mostly down to soundcard or video drivers
 
ty for backing me up there rapier, as i know 1.6 does NOT need 2gb of ram to run without stutters lol! i think it's probably due to gfx drivers, i'l install a set that i know worked perfect on my amd system! failing that i'l try setting the affinity.
 
i know clown, most people here know that you do not need 2gb of ram to play cs1.6 lets leave it at that ;) and try and get back to the reason why my cs is skipping :(

*note i have installed the intel dualcore registry edit!
 
P.S. Try what this guy ^^ said.
I bought a duplicate 9800 Pro and 6800 Ultra because of an issue I had with drivers (I thought the cards were broken :()
 
atopork - your signature well and truly breaks the rules, as laid out here. :eek:
A signature may contain one or more images but they must fit within a box with maximum dimensions of 400 x 75 pixels (width x height) and with a maximum (combined) file size of 20k. Images containing mostly very large words or animated .gifs will not be permitted.
