Counter-Strike......bad image quality

[FantasySoul]

It's like this,whenever I set my monitor refresh rates to 85Hz at the resolution which I used to play CS,The image sort of "cracked"or somethin and it looks bad.In 60 to 75 Hz,it looks great without the "crack",somehow I know it is related to the V-sync option,is it??My com specs are: p3 733 , GF2MX 32mb ,Samtron 17'76e monitor.
Did it have somethin to do with the CPU power or the video card?

Try turning off V-Sync.
If your using tri-linear buffering, try bi-linear
Try 16-Bit instead of 32-bit color depth.
Increase shared memory to the AGP (In BIOS)

Not really sure, just some suggestions. Try tweaking down your settings until it runs more smoothly.

You have to remember that by today's standards, a GF2 MX is a pretty weak card, so you really can't enable all the toys and eye candy and expect to get smooth video. Video cards become obsolete very quickly the way games are driving technology these days. I should talk - I'm running a P3-800 and a Radeon SDR - and if I were a gamer I would probably be having fits too.

Only problem with that glc is that by today's standards, Counter-Strike is ancient. It should run flawlessly on a GF2 MX. Fantasy, if you are using Windows 2k or XP, there is a refresh rate fix for nVidia cards. It may cure your problem. Here's a link that explains this:
