Anyway I have given all the advice I can regarding your issue. I tried to help because I have played many versions of cs for a long period of time over many different systems and didn't want you to have a shitty cs experience just because all your replies were the same. In the end it is your decision. Imo there are very few reasons you can't just buy a cheap $30-60 card and not have to worry about any lag/skip/drops in a pub. Hf. | ||

If you're just looking to be a good pubber or have fun then yeah most any card will do. Onboard will not cut it. And what were the best cards when CS was released ? ... Don't tell me that people waited the 9800 to play CS and be competitive lol. Any card nowadays will run CS perfectly. ANY ( yea even the shittiest ) And btw the GeForce 1 is >>>>>>>>>>>>> Voodoo 3 ;3 edit: I thought this thread was a level tbh. | ||

The graphics and maps were substantially simpler and no one used smokes. I don't think smokes were even legal until 1.5 because they caused crashes, and then they modified how smokes work in 1.6. Now every SOB in pubs is using smokes/flashes at every opportunity. ;o Any card will run CS perfectly, but onboard is a different story and the OP has an old computer (P4.) It'll definitely run, at least in software mode, but I don't think you'll be able to get above 60fps. Give it a shot though, I could be wrong. | ||

For one part your head hitbox isn't as big as a watermelon A lot more subtle things like turning around to get half-blinded by flash as opposed to source flashbangs In 1.6 Recoil for certain guns, while tough to control, have a pattern so that experienced players can use it to move their mouse in an exact pattern to keep it roughly in the same spot while spraying while source it's just random but doesn't matter since you can just 1 click the head in source, not difficult. | ||

You could play H-L with a 133 mhz minimum  Any comp > 500 mhz and a card > Geforce 1 will run CS although the loading might be a bit long. I used to play on Italy, Aztec, Dust 1/2 etc ... and i'm sure i had at least 30-40 fps. A 2ghz P4 ( i assume his freq is > 2 ghz ) is way better than my comp so it should run fine ( 60 fps at least ) even with a bad card... ( i doubt it can be worse than a Geforce 1 lol ) | ||

CS 1.6 competitive play = 100fps MINIMUM (this is to make you more synced to servers) CS 1.6 != CS when it was first released. You cannot give advice based on the computer requirements back then (entirely different gameplay and graphics). I HIGHLY doubt your onboard video will give you smooth fps (let alone 100fps) when more than one smoke is in vision. Smokes in CS are more demanding than one might think. Buy a video card. | ||

I can't really think of what the problem is. I know it has to do something with your Internet connection (I think..) and I set my rates to 25000, cl_cmdrate and updaterate to 101 and fps_max to 101. I don't know what could be wrong. Aside from my sister using the computer without much downloading, there is nothing else (no torrents, browsers) that are running. =/ | ||

This is also very true, 1.5 ran perfectly on my old comp but when 1.6 came out it was down to 30-40 fps constant. Cl_flushentity packets are almost always due to connectivity issues. | ||
