If you have a soundcard or another PCI device, move it to different slots. Check your system information for IRQ conflicts. If it is AGP, disable AGP fast writes if it is enabled and try again. If it is a PCI one though, Source games are most likely too intensive for it to run smoothly. If it is a PCI model, it might have a power plug on it, make sure you plugged it in. If you are using dual monitors, try taking one off. In the Nvidia CP, make sure you choose Single Display Performance Mode, High Performance mode, leave the rest on default. You can use Rivatuner, and perhaps bump up the clocks of your card a 3% to 5% if you want to risk it. Keep everything on Low, maybe textures medium, the GMA 900 (Pentium-M Dothan 2ghz, 1gb ram) I tried it a good while ago on, managed about 10~15fps on all low, you should be getting higher. In Source games, drop the resolution to 800圆00.
Pentium 3 geforce 6200 driver software#
As for CS1.6, make sure you are using OpenGL in the Video section, DirectX never really worked well for me, and software rendering defeats the purpose of your card. Start with perhaps 174.74, one I know that was great for my 6/7 series cards.
Pentium 3 geforce 6200 driver drivers#
Newer drivers are known to break performance on older cards (they don't test them). I would start by dropping down to a 16x or 17x driver. I don't think there were any PCI Turbocache models, only PCI-E ones had those (?). Old and crappy as the 6200 is, it still has plenty of power to run any GoldSource games, and maybe Source games provided its AGP based.

CS 1.6 can be played using CPU rendering only (It ran fine on a Pentium 3 machine when it came out with the "software" mode). Click to expand.GMA 900s (school computers) run CS 1.6 perfectly well, as well as Warcraft 3.Ī 6200 is faster than a GMA 900 by a good deal.
