In need of 100 fps constant in counterstrike 1.6 on laptop?

Imo, it's not so much the need to have 200+ FPS (the difference in time that it takes info to get to you is miniscule), but more the need to have a reliably good FPS. In old games they would sometimes completely die when something like a smoke bomb was let off so if you can get higher FPS at that point then you will have a significant advantage.

That asside, high FPS is mainly cosmetic as it makes it less noticable that you're technically looking at a slideshow when you turn around quickly or something passes you by.

What really annoys me is people who think that to be good you have to have good hardware or people who whine about how they're getting killed seeing it's totally impossible since they have a brutal PC which would knock the socks off mine. If you suck at playing games and you have a brutal computer, you will still suck. I play TF2 on this very computer on servers which constantly have around 28 people on them, my frame rate sometimes goes down below 20, yet I still have a KD of around 2.5 and still rising. Unless you have a computer which is completely inept and can't even manage FPS in double figures then gaming is really 98% skill and experience and only 2% hardware.

 

that might be true for non competitive players

 

If your framerate is going down to 20, and you still have a great kill/death ratio, you need better opponents.

 

i remember playing counter strike source at 15 fps because i had a P4 processor and a gforce 4mx card. i still got possitive KPD, but then when i upgraded to an AMD 5000+ with a 7900gt (top of the line in its day, cost me over £1k) my KPD just got silly good. kinda 6+. still using a wireless mouse and keyboard on a 28ms screen. then i moved to COD2 and owned at that instead. i miss PC gaming

 

No, it is a lot more than a "cosmetic" issue. When I switched from gaming on my uber desktop for my laptop, I was noticeably a lot worse when my FPS average was 30 vs 70, I no longer had maxed out AA and AF, and I was on a 15.6" 1600x900 screen instead of 19" 1600x1200.

 

so , maxed out AA and AF could give you more kills .
i think we're talking about FPS here instead of IQ .
instead of maxxing out the options , why not lower some of less important ones so you can achieve the same FPS as the Uber desktop?

 

You are better off lowering all settings. Not only do you get more fps, but the whole world becomes "less advanced", and enemies are easier to spot. There´s less stuff to look at.

 

That's how I play, but without lot's of AA/AF long range shots are much harder.

 

I play at 1280*720 for TF2, with AA turned off and AF set to 8x (AF barely makes a difference to my frame rate though). The rest of the settings are on minimum for the silly stuff like HDR. Textures are at high and reflections are set to simple. Other than that I think ym settings are pretty much average. I find that unless I lower the resolution, any other lowering of settings makes barely any difference. There was a point where my computer kept on overheating, so I played in DX8 mode and I kinda got used to it. I might go to the extent of saying it was easier since it seemed like there were much more distractions when I shifted back to DX9 after I sorted out my cooling, I forgot to measure the FPS but I might try in DX8 mode again some time soon to see if it made my frame rate crazy high.

Also, thank you Sirhcz0r, I'm flattered

 

Yes, laptop settings at minimums. At any sort of range, AA helps a lot. The 30fps average and lack of AA and AF really "killed" my kill rate.

With high resolution, full AA, and 55+ FPS I'm happy. Anything worse and it starts to detract from my ability to do the best I can.
