Unable to get HL fps above 60...

[Eejit]

...with a 128mb nvidia GeForce FX 5200, P4 2.6ghz, and a decent flat panel monitor. I have the latest video card drivers.
Any suggestions?

Do you need above 60 FPS?

Turn off vertical sync in your 3d options menu....or raise your refresh rate.

Make sure nothing is eating away at cpu power, also check fps_max in the console in hl.

 

[Daegon]

when your fps is above your vRefresh rate (ie 60hz) it can cause 'tearing' so by default HL limits you to your refresh rate (Vsync) to prevent this.

There is no possible way to have your monitor display more frames per second then it's refresh rate, however if you raise the refresh rate...
