I'm using a Radeon 9700 pro but my graphics are crap

[Jacklenut]

what's going on here?
every other game i run is beautiful but half life, earth special forces, and counterstrike have pretty crappy graphics. I'm talking in terms of frame rate, and anti-aliasing. All i want is no jaggies and a good framerate. I can do this with my Geforce 3 just fine but... this.. isn't working

anyone know how to fix it?

BTW i have all the latest drivers

i think that there was a patch released for the 9700 so that it would work on half-life properly...i'll see if i can find it.

Try running HL in openGL or direct3D because if you are running in software mode everything looks bad.
