GPU dependent

Simple question i dont expect to have a solution because its almost impossible, but here it goes.

How do i make the half-life/ source engine more GPU dependent? i know they are CPU dependent because on my pentium D i get 60 fps in hl2 low quality settings/ low res and in cs 1.6 i get 128 fps, 600x800 low quality. but for F.E.A.R i get 300+ fps in low quality and 187fps max on 16xQ AA/ 16xQ AF Maxiumim quality setting and high resolution.

Specs.

mobo : asus p5n-sli
vga : msi nv8600gt twin turbo
cpu : penitum d dual-core 2.8ghz
mem : adata 2gb ram
psu : forgot 430 watt

yes, i will upgrade if cant get my hl2 to run more than 100 fps

Your video card isn't even good, lol.

lol, you act like i dont know. moron

So, you think that since your CPU sucks, making HL2 more GPU dependant on a bad video card will help you? Think with your head man.

if fear can play on 187fps on maximum quality settings im sure hl2 can run at least 100 fps on performance settings. READ.

jesus why are you even talking when you ahve a 7600GS

How does my video card have anything to do with you? I play cs 1.6, I don't need a good video card. But, clearly you are a complete retard, bye.

You can't really make it more GPU dependent for there to be a noticable difference, really. Get a new psu or something

Wow sepct is a jerk.

How am I a jerk? Because I replied after he called me a moron cause I told him he had a bad video card? Hrm.

you cant "make" a game less cpu dependent, that depends of its engine. only thing you can do is overclock to max. / change cpu

I have the same proc right now, and a 7950gt video card. I get pretty good frames in hl2 games. dunno what your issue is

His issue is that the 7950GT is a faster card than the low end 8600
