I'll be explaining you, how to boost your FPS greatly.
We'll both be using configs, but also Launch commands.

• First, right click your "Steam icon" at your bottom right corner.
• Pick "Games"
• Right click "Counter Strike: Source"
• Hit "Properties"
• "Set Launch Options"
• Type in the following, including "-"

HTML: 
-nojoy -noipx -dxlevel 80 -nosync -refresh 65 -High -nocrashdialog -dev

• Also, -window, will start the game in windowed mode. -console will turn the in-game "Console" visible.

• Now head to your Cstrike/CFG folder, and create 2 .cfg folders, named "Autoexec and Userconfig"
• Enter the following code in both.

This would do the most possible.
Thanks for reading!
HAPPY GAMING!

oh wow, that cfg looks shady as hell, most of those cvars are even disabled at serverside so its useless. So you only get dodgy fps gains at best.
And maybe you should be vary of forcing the game to 65 hz, as most lcd monitors cant go higher than 60hz.


Either way, did you make this? Or did you copy it from somewhere else? Because a bit more research into what those "tweaks" actually does, might have been in order.
 
Is there a need to boost performance in cs:s? i thought even intel atom netbooks with integrated graphics could play it these days...

Genuine question btw, i never thought of a need to increase perf in cs:s on anything under 4 years old spec wise.
 
Interesting, I don't know if a PC Enthusiast forum is the best place to post this, as most of us are pretty crazy about keeping our computers up to date!

Useful enough, if someone is lagging in CS. (and if they are, do yourself a favour and get a new computer)
 
You should come with tips on how to make CS:S look better :p
 
Yehh we keep are rigs pretty uptodate, i play CS:S office on 24/7 servers with 170ish fps. Max settings, AA, AF, and anything else i can switch up possible.

I dont go into config with counter strike, i leave it at its prime.

In crysis, i can make custom configs, and cvars but i forgot most of the command lines that i used to know by heart, so i just go download a ultra high config and live with it :)
