Default CS:Source -great graphics but fps-killer - 29-10-2004

Hi, just had the chance to play CS:Source on a friends machine. Also bots are encluded, so I was very excited and played with them a lot (offline, listenserver). They are the "normal" CZ-CS-bots, so they play exactly like them (I donīt like it very much).

Man, Source looks GREAT, but when I turned on the fps-display I saw only about 50 max-fps on de_cbble without bots, 10-25 fps with about 10 bots ingame. The comp was a 2400+Athlon, 512MB-DDR, Geforce FX5200 128DDR. Detail-settings at medium-low, 800x600x32 (directx. The machine is really optimized so I wonder how this could be. 30fps might be enough for a single-player-game, but for CS?

I wonīt buy it before I have a next-generation-computer. But overall it was awesome to see the great graphics, it seemed like a graphics-demo, not for cs-play-and-feel (it feels a bit different and needs a monster-computer). A few screenies below.
