FPS config?

[barskoman]

I've heard that there are a FPS config, to increase the FPS in game...Is it easy to install?? My FPS is around 30- 60... maybe to bad?

Hi Barskoman,

I recommend Casey's Config (google it)!

I used to use the script with my previous graphics card and got an extra 30 FPS boost!

Hope you get some improvement from it too!

OK cause I have a problem with My VGA I searched and found the following, I helped a bit but still I need a New VGA. I hope the following will help you more than it helped me:

From here we will look at CSS specific tweaks via console commands to make the game run oh so smoother. You will need to make a file in "counter-strike source/cstrike/cfg/" named autoexec.cfg. Open this file with notepad or whatever and add these commands:


NOTE: Some of these commands ill refer to as being considered a "cheat". This only means that servers with sv_cheats disabled will not recognize some of these commands. They are BY NO MEANS cheats and you can safely use them without ever being questioned. Valve will eventually fix these commands to NOT be considered cheats, the flags were put in in beta so that while stats were being collected, everyone would be using the same controllable settings. I urge you to add all these commands and open up your own server and see the huge improvement it makes!

r_mmx 1
adds support for MMX cpu processing, minor fps help, no gfx loss

r_sse 1
adds support for SSE cpu processing, minor fps help, no gfx loss

r_sse2 1
adds support for SSE2 cpu processing, minor fps help, no gfx loss

r_3dnow 1
adds support for 3DNOW (AMD ONLY) cpu processing, minor fps help, no gfx loss

r_3dsky 0
turns off some of the 3d objects looming in the sky. This is currently considered a cheat for unknown reasons, thus will only work in your servers until its fixed. Major fps boost. Little gfx loss

r_shadows 0
One thing im sad to say is....shadows in HL2 suck. Well at least in CSS. Until they fix this, itll look better without em. Major fps boost. Little gfx improvement

net_graph 3
this command draws a network graph on the bottom right of your screen. Its helpful for seeing if your connection has choke (bad network conditions). The game will act like crap with any choke. If it stays at 0 choke, you can turn this off(net_graph 0) as it takes a couple FPS to run. Helpful tool.

r_decal_cullsize 0
this sets the minimum pixel size of decals to be displayed. It lets you see bulletholes from farther off with effecting your fps by much if anything at all. Very minor if any fps drop. gfx improvement.

cl_smooth 0
Not much is known about this command except that it lowers fps when enabled(which is default). Ive played with this on and off and theres no gfx difference at all. Moderate FPS boost. No gfx loss.

cl_phys_props_enable 0
BIG help! This removes the smaller junk items that choke your cpu for processing. Items like tires, barrels, crates, and all the important stuff stay. Huge fps improvement. Less clutter.

cl_pushaway_force 0
This is another command currently considered a cheat that will default back to 20000 in most servers. It removes the push back when you bump into a barrel or other physics item. Makes game a lot smoother in movement. Again, wait until the cheat flag is removed to use. Better motion.

fog_enable 0
Sigh, yet another great FPS booster still considered a cheat. It disables random far away fog. Note this has nothing to do with smoke grenades, just random ingame fog. Major FPS boost. Minor gfx loss.

cl_allowupload "0"
This command just keeps random stats and junk from uploading ingame. Helps with ping

cl_allowdownload "0"
This command likewise just keeps random junk from downloading ingame. Helps with ping

r_lod 0
this controls the distance at which models use less polygons to save processing power.
The options for this are -5(best image quality, most processor use),-4,-3,-2,-1,0(least image quality, least processor use). so fool around with the settings to fit your taste. I personally cant tell a difference and prefer r_lod 0 for more fps gain. varying fps boost. varying but small gfx loss. -thx to rivercitycat for info

cl_show_bloodsprays 0
Once again, this is a "cheat"...like not having bloodsprays would improve your leet skillz. moderate fps boost. minor bloos loss :P

cl_ejectbrass 0
Same as above..."cheat"...just removes the brass ejections. helps in firefights. moderate fps boost. minor gfx loss.

As more and more of these commands become unlocked(by removing cheat flag)...youll notice improvement in your multiplayer games. You can try all of these commands by creating your own game; you'll be impressed with the FPS boosts. I recommend you play with each command to find the balance that you most enjoy.


Edit: For those with serious FPS problems use these commands on top of the aforementioned ones. They WILL damper graphics so only use if your desperate!

cl_show_splashes "0"
mp_decals "0"
mat_bufferprimitives "1"
mat_bumpbasis "0
mat_bumpmap "0"
mat_dxlevel "80"
mat_fastnobump "1"
mat_fastspecular "1"
mat_filterlightmaps "1"
mat_filtertextures "1"
mat_forceaniso "0"
mat_forcedynamic "0"
mat_loadtextures "1"
mat_mipmaptextures "1"
mat_picmip "1"
mat_reducefillrate "1"
mat_showwatertextures "0"
mat_specular "0"
muzzleflash_light "0"
r_modellodscale "0.1"
r_drawlights "0"
r_DispUseStaticMeshes "0"
r_waterforceexpensive "0"
r_shadowrendertotexture "0"
r_rootlod "2"
r_drawrain "0"
r_decals "0"
r_dynamic "0"
r_WaterDrawReflection "0"
r_WaterDrawRefraction "0"
violence_hgibs "0"
budget_show_history "0"

Again, this second set of commands will make CSS not look near as nice, but will add huge FPS improvements. I only recommend them for users who are getting less than 30FPS average. Good luck.

Ty guys!!! i will trie it

I also use caseys.cfg, the gfx wont look as good. But your fps will be greatly increased.

Id certainly recommend an FPS config to anyone with a n00b computer like myself.

you can go to GotFrag eSports - Competitive Gaming News, Features, Movies, Content and Community and look in the forums under Counter Strike Source. there are lots of Configs People post OR go onto Enemy Down in the CSS forum there should be topic called "Need FPS?" and it lists about 10+ FPS Configs to use and can be downloaded.
