I have the GeForce 6800 GT OC 256mb, with dual DVI outputs. I have it hooked up to my lcd via a direct DVI connection (no VGA). Anyways, there are 2 dvi outputs on the vid card. Which one should i use, or does it even matter?
 
Both just say DVI.

My problem is that in cs1.6, if i set my nvidia control panel settings to performance, it looks like ass, but sais 99-100fps. If i set my nvidia control panel settings to quality, it sais 59-60fps, and looks better but not like it should.

Then when i play battlefield 2, it looks awesome on high settings, and gets around60-70fps. I dont understand. I ws thinking maybe the output had something to do with it. if not, any other ideas?
 
doesnt matter.
i find that if i plug my 7800gt into two monitors, both display the same thing. same thing goes with using both dvi's and the s-video port (plugged into a tv) too. i mean, i dont know for the 6800gt but it should be identical video.
btw "performance" settings just means "low" settings, thats why it gave you higher fps.
cs has much worse graphics than most games, which is probably what makes it such a good multiplayer game. almost no-ones computer lags during the game. if you still think it doesnt look as good as it should, then just max out all the settings at highest quality and see if that helps. personally, id prefer higher quality picture with 60fps than lower quality picture at 100fps. slower easier gameplay, higher quality picture, and most games limit fps to 60-75fps anyways...

i mean there are exceptions i knew a guy with a pentium 3 and some 64mb graphics card with i think 384mb of system memory and a 10gb hard drive.. dont ask me how he got it to lag, but it did on cs 1.6's lowest settings... it was horrible...
it seemed like his system shouldve played the game though... he probably just had his memory backed up too much with other programs like an anti-virus or something...

Cool. That was bothering me.

im at 3.0hz, 2.5gb ram, and this card. only my old machine, at 2.0ghz, 512mb ram, and gf4 ti4200 i got 100fps, and it was aweseome!

I got it fixed kindof. Turned off antialiasing, and vertical sync. running at 100fps, and looks good, still think it should be a little bit better. i am going to tweak some more.
