good thing the card doesnt really do much for source games, CPU will increase your FPS more then a fancy new graphics card will with csgo unless you have a really old graphics card, like 5+ years old

For modern gaming the 760 will run anything at a high fps rate. Yes, there are plenty of better cards, but most of those cards aren't useful since you won't experience below 144hz in most games with said 760. I run everything on ultra and never dip below 144 in any game with that card.

Anyway I think it's pretty clear that Valve's plan for the game is to continue putting out higher and higher definition content instead of just releasing a new game every so many years so upgrading at some point will become necessary. It's just a shame you can't go back and play the old game competitively like you can with 1.6 and source.

Not higher definition, just skinnier and smaller maps.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I liked old nuke because it was a cool tactical map and playing CT was fun. It's a shame the whole game was extra CT sided due to OP M4A1-S and how smokes are, so people cried and they took it out of the pool. New nuke is OK too. Bit too cluttered and visually busy though for my tastes. Game has swung bigtime towards T side since they removed it anyway, probably would have been more balanced now.

I love the extra angles on new nuke outside, keeps it pretty entertaining instead of cookie cutter single holds.

Also +1 for never had an issue before with new nuke on my old 760.

Just make sure you upgraded to a 486, source is pretty cpu bound

yea the true problem with source is that it's very cpu dependent. EVEN THEN, it's such a disgusting abomination of tacked on code that even if you have a better cpu and card it might not do better than a middle range setup because god knows why. like a friend i know has a much better rig than me and i average better fps on nuke than him

No, like I had actual fun. I usually hate this dumb game but I hopped on, made some pubbies mad and killed a lot of dudes. I stopped playing for a while so they put me in silver (???) but it won't take long to be back at AK.

I bought a 770 because a friend has the 760 and I just like rubbing his loving face in it.

Did they change something with the SG within the past 6 months? I started playing again a few weeks ago and it seems I don't pull off near the amount of absolute bullshit walking head taps I did before?

when in a 1v1 (as a ct) and there's a long rotate, i usually just sit in the site i'm closest to because there's a 50/50 chance that someone is gonna try poo poo like this

It's easy to predict what a pubbie will do when he's confident, but a nervous one is always a wild card. At least that's what happened in Call of Duty. (Which is admittedly a better game in almost every way)

My new favorite PRO STRAT is to buy a P90 as CT on dust2 then rush mid and creep up ramp along the cat wall and ambush their long A push.

It's dumb, but I do it so infrequently that it usually works, and it's awesome and fun.

I sure hope the both of you are referring to Casual or low rank MM, because that idea will get your poo poo pushed in within a matter of seconds.
