I wish I could say I've noticed a difference but it just seems the same as normal for me.

Sounds great! Maybe this will stop those small sticks (lag) I get sometimes? Near the start of a game whenever I see an enemy and they fire it freezes for about a second and I usually die from it =/

I can see an improvement when I use netgraph, and I guess there's a general improvement in FPS at times, but it isn't constant. The update doesn't lie, it was targeted for less CPU usage. This won't be prominently apparent in FPS, but instead in less choke and client-side lag. If Valve continues to release updates like this I think CS:S would be worth-while for league play.

This is ****** Sweet for people with lower Processors!!!

My 2.53 GHZ processor and my comp got a 14 FPS boost!!!!!

I really need them to reduce the amount of RAM this game uses. I think my processor is one of the best parts in my PC which explains the lack of change I saw. I suppose it shows they are concentrating on things more important at least.

Nice idea, I get a higher FPS, but at the expense of latency. I now have an average ping or 100 - 120, when it was previousl 30 - 70. So now effectively, I can't play.

my ping was 150-200 on UK servers now its 90-100

Defo improving the ram toll, this game's physiscs aren t that advanced to be so demanding, specially not the quality of textures!

But yeah 15 fps, now added more decals and upped antialiasing. Now it looks more like a CS!

Posted by Crazy Asian

dude, the grafix r like some of the best ever (if used by an ATI) and its not demanding, i just love the FPS boost tho

Posted by csskiller

Freakin awesome update

Posted by NovaProspekt
