No CSS isnt my benchmark for knowing if the system is good.

Its just one of the only games i have to even test it out on.

I think I'll just measure out the psu, and update it, because I'd really like to get the radeon HD 4750(or w/e the number combanition is)

I just gotta wait for cash to free up. I dont wanna upgrade the case cause, I'm not really sure I'd even be able to get it back together. But yea this card choice was a recommendation, not to have hte best gaming, but on a budget and what i could work with.

No, its not really worth overclocking. You do know that the ati hd 4670 knocks the 8600gt out of the water?Gamerkat

I have a i think 350 psu, and I'm not sure if its worth upgrading the one my dell currently has.

also the -dxlevel 90 works

but I'm just wondering why it does that

I just recieved this card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130085

and I was wondering if it would be worth overclocking? and if so can anyone appoint me to a good refrence on the process of overclocking?

Also,

Since I got this card, any game I start up that uses the hl2 gaming engine, always starts up in ethier directx 8 or directx 8.1 and I was wondering why does it do this considering my card is directx 9?

EX:

^ an example, it does the same in all the other games.

Also, I was told by someone i could max out counter strike source, with high fps, but with max settings I see a lot of discoloration, and I get around 50fps(I really dont know if he considered that to be high)

Thanks for your time and help

Ok, for like the last month, I've noticed these white streaks going down my monitor. So i figured must be a graphics card problem.

Just today, The white streaks have expanded, and now im starting to see text and numbers and stuff that is very faints but noticable on a dark background. Does this mean my graphics card is going?

Thing is, its not really my computer, and if i save up to build a new comp, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY no where to put it. Thats why i honestly just want to fix this one up. I think the computer only has one fan, i havent taken it apart yet so really right now i can only upgrade, buying a new comp just isnt an option

Ok, here are some tips

To start off, did you set your rates up? if not in console(maybe create a config file buy creating a text file, putting in this info, and saving it as userconfig.cfg in the counter strike/cstrike folder)

cl_cmdrate 100

cl_updaterate 100

rate 25000

ex_interp 0

Ok another thing is, change your resolution to a lower one, ethier 640*480 or 800*600, its easier to aim, the crosshair is smaller, and easier when spraying.

Now I'm going to help you learn about weapons, first

Deagle-

First thing you need to know is, it doesnt aim in the middle, its mostly random, but in a decent server the bullets end up going right above the bottom vertical line of the crosshair, so aim a little higher on the head. Another thing that is wierd, is, if you move forward or backward while strafing left or right the bullets hit dead on, weird huh?

AK47 -

First, a video helping you made by a member of one of the best 1.6 teams, SK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze-2S2_8KIU&fmt=18

My personal tips:

When Spraying:

Pull down, I'm also experimenting with this but try it out, as you spray move your crosshair in a counter clock wise circle and the bullets seem to hit the same general area.

Close up:

starting shooting as you duck, easy way to get headshots and hard to get shot. This is the only time you should spray

Medium Range: 2 shot bursts, no more then 2, Aim towards the neck/head area

Long Range: Either 2 shot bursts, or 1 shot bursts(where you click release click realease) giving about half a second inbetween shots. Also, a little harder, but aiming towards the head, and pulling down with a burst of 5 shots.

M4:

Again a video by a member of SK team

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtpUsu0YWYE&fmt=18

This gun has less recoil, but its also weaker

When Spraying: This spray has more random of a patter, but the first 4 bullets arent as jumpy. The same ducking teq with the ak can also be applied here, but if you dont get the headshot right away, sway left to right up near the head area.

Close Range: Spraying 4-5 bullets(about the 4th bullet pull down a little)

Medium Range: Burst 3 Bullets

Long Range: Burst 3 bullets, or the same 1 shot burst but less time pausing then ak due to the reduced recoil.

USP:

The usp you can run forward and get accurate shots.

Up Close: Aim towards chest/neck area and spray up.

Distance: Shoot slowly, shoot a bullet, rest and so on and so forth

Glock:

Clock is really wierd, its never dead one but in that facinity.

Semi-Automatic:

Use for distance, strafe when using, and if you need to run forward always strafe as you do for best accuracy

Burst:

User for close up, and coke places. Also, you can jump and burst and its hard to hit a jumping target

AWP:

Another AK Player video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6O7cI9xf00&fmt=18

Practice with scout to get good with awp.

A no-scope secret(idk if its in vid)

Press the zoom key, and right after wards press the shoot key, after that, as long as you dont quick switch, the awp is tricked into thinking its zoomed and will aim accuratley scoped out.

Strafing in 1.6 is cruical, and i recommend you enter this cl_dynamiccrosshair 0, because dynamic crosshairs lie.

This is the best way to break down, the only time you really shoot accurately(with rifles for the most part) is when your standing still. When you press a move key, it tells the client something like "moving is true", when you release the key your using, quickly tap the opposite direction(or the walk key), the moving is canceled and therefore you can aim more accurate, instead of completely stopping and waiting.

For instance:

If your walking forward on cat, a quick way to shoot that person accurately, is to release the forward key, tap the walk key, and then aim and shoot. This works with strafing as well, if your strafing left, and you want to shoot, quickly release the left key, tap the right key, and you wan aim accurately.

Spamming:

In 1.6 you can shoot through walls, what makes this possible are walls that have been made with only 1 brush size. You can shoot through doors, and most common walls(Like when going out a tunnels to long, the wall right before you make the left turn to head up to a is spamable.)

you have to practice and learn.

http://csgoodies.com/spam-spots

Has good pictures for spam spots

On youtube, search nuvoids spam or wallbang

Another thing is, angels are more important in cs, and knowing the maps as well, so learn them!

One last note would be, when positioning yourself, always try to catch a person moving straight forward, because its harder for them to shoot then you.

2 Examples:

1.) Cat, if a person is running forward on cat and you strafe out, it should take you less time to get off a shot then the other person

2.) If your ct ramp to a plat, and someone is came for cat and is running straight to plant bomb a, its easier to kill them because they have to do more to get off a good shot.

Kinda confusing hope it helped though, btw, i think visuals would help more, and if you want, send me an email and I'll create a demo demonstrating as much as I can.

email is lilt326@gmail.com

if you send me one, make the subject something with gamespot in it.

hope i helped

Ok, right now in order to get a good graphics card that will last a while, i need to upgrade my psu, and also interesting in getting a fan of some short. I was hoping someone could recommend a good psu, and cooling system(fan, or heatsink idk) that would fit my computer. I have a limit 200, but I'm willing to go at the max 300 in all.

Here are my system specs(idk if you need them all)

Dell Dimension E510(System Model says DM051)

Intel(R)

Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80 GHz

2.79 GHz, 2.00 GB of Ram


BIOS: Phonenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A05

thanks if you can help
