Geforce4 ti 4400 problems

[JJJDrums2000]

Im wondering if this is normal, when I turn of vsync my fps will go up to 100 but it will fall down to 40 sometimes in counter-strike. Plus with vsync off everything is alittle to choppy. Non of my games actually run as smooth as they did when I had windows 98 and an older video card. I have the latest drivers and im running directx 9. My comp has a 1.7ghz intel motherboard, and 512mb of ram. What can I do to make it run games better?

try installing different maybe older drivers the newest gratest driver may not be so great also i would try in CS open gl and D3D and just see which one runs better good luck

Try jacking up your monitor refresh rate. Your rig is fast enough to be creating frames faster than can be displayed at the current refresh, making it choppy with Vsync turned off.
