Hi,

A month ago I bought a new notebook (hp pavilion dv9000 series). When I installed Counter-strike source, I was very anxious to see my FPS. Turned out to be not that good: avg 70 FPS.

So I post this message for 2 reasons.
  1. I'm looking for config-tweaks (+ explanation) to make css run smoother.
  2. I'm looking for the solution to my graphical "smog" error!
My graphical error:

First of all 'll show my system specs (in Dutch ).



or more detailed:




Now my CSS configuration (I tried to fix it with every single combination of these settings:



Now my in-game problem: I see a covering smoke on some spots in some maps. By this smoke I'm practically unable to see at long distance.

screenshot 2:


Maybe some1 can help me fix this problem!

that has to do with the draw distance in your settings.

play with the antialiasing mode and i bet you'll see a difference

Are you playing at native res? Games like to be run at native res..or at least, native ratio, I believe.

solution was none of those mentioned above.

instead of changing settings i had to run the game using directx 8
(-dxlevel 80 or 81).
