Running Half Life under Mac or Linux will not usually have performance
issues, but if you have an old computer, or are using the high
resolution pack there may be significant slow down. Therefore it is
essential to make the fps that
you do get work for you. Most LCD monitors redraw 60 times per second,
and if extra frames are rendered between these intervals, or in an
unsynchronized manner it causes visual disturbances, and unnecessary
strain on your video card. Enabling Vsync will cause almost no drop in
FPS, but will greatly enhance your gaming experience. The
benefit of this is that the frames that are drawn are perfectly
synchronized with the blanking interval, and a noticeable increase in
smoothness will occur. If you have Vsync on you can then enter fps_max
60 in your console since unless you have a 120 Hz gaming monitor
anything above 60 fps will be wasted and will just serve to increase the
temperature of your GPU. If you have a 120 Hz monitor use fps_max
120. Enjoy.
