It's a funny old world when GTR and f0rest look clearly like the worst performers on NiP.

Well they're old as gently caress so I'm not surprised

Gtr has has a few godawful tournaments. I think he said his stomach disorder is getting worse all the time. Frankly I expect anyone who as played as many hours as him or nothing to have really bad results from time to time, especially with the massive amount of online leagues and tournaments these guys are required to attend.

Thankfully I believe tournament organizers have been better about this in the last few months. I still believe in gtr and forest, as an old man gamer

im not gonna help recommend 1440p monitors as i play csgo at 640x480 stretched


foutre posted:

1440p + 144hz is a pretty substantial jump in price over 1080p afaik, and usually come in 27" rather than 24" versions - the latter size is generally preferred for CS, but 27" is nice to have just for life. This might have changed, but I think there's very few 1440p, 24" monitors for whatever reason.

the reason is that there isn't an appreciable difference between 1440p and 1080p until you're above 30 inches. Also try running your game in 2560x1440 or whatever stupid poo poo nvidia defaults to, everything looks really dumb and runs poorly

alienware has 240hz freesync and gsync versions on sale periodically. The gsync one ended up going as low as $375-400 at bestbuy only. I'm retarded for buying the freesync one at $330.

a lot of people are stuck on 24inch with CSGO because ASUS monitors are cheaper and come standard at 24.8inches for the most solid 144hz on the market. BENQ 27in 144hz monitors used to cost you 100 to 150 more. 27 inch monitors also suck pretty hard at BYOC LANs. If you like playing games at high refresh rates don't bother with an ips. if you like cool colors go ask SH/SC how to waste your life savings on a retina display 60hz monitor

the map seems really good after playing it twice. Is there any way to fix the massive frame drops when viewing the map from T spawn? It seems like I'm stuck at 130-150fps until I get closer to the sites, at which point I'm back around 200-300

Certain areas are more challenging to optimize, we've honestly pushed things so far, farther than I expected we could. However I'll still try to squeeze some more frames out of it.


Thank you, great feedback.

I agree model visibility may be one of the last potentially "serious" issues I see with the gameplay, we used to have the green CTs which had 0 visibility issues at all, but they're more dated looking. I may need to either brighten the map or sacrifice there for the visuals, don't have much of an appetite to create custom CTs as well...

Agree on all the gameplay stuff, will be interesting to see how stuff plays out in time. I would like to play with you guys! Maybe reach out on steam or twitter, would be fun.

It feels fine once you leave the "useless" areas of the map but I think thatll be a concern after your nap is in an operation. Casual 12v12 is all about spawn camping. However...nuke still runs kind of poorly in t spawn. Also cache gives me problems in t spawn.

On second thought if you don't find a solution for the fps issues maybe people will learn to leave t spawn, causing an entire generation of noobs to be slightly better

That's a good monitor and 96 is a massive improvement over 60. I'd look for a used benq XL27 over the next few years. There's a good chance people will want to upgrade to 240hz monitors from Dell/alienware and benq and will start posting their old stuff.

Thanks, is there anything magical about any of the refresh rates? I see 96 thrown around a lot but I think that has to do with old cards not being able to go higher. I had artifacts appear somewhere between 100 and 110 so I just figured 96 is a good safe spot.

I think most PciE cards can push 120 to 144 if your monitor supports it. You must have a dvid or display port 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 cable for anything at 120hz and above I believe. Never hurts to google specific monitor and video card specifications as I may be wrong on some of the cable specifics.

Also, remember to manually set your refresh rate in some titles, like overwatch, as it will default to 60hz.

I don't follow the french scene because tbh gently caress the childish french drama.

edit: :lol: he's .94 rated

yeah i thought the same thing and then i looked up his stats

although only kenny has a good rating on g2 so maybe losing all the time is Bad

HRTF is apparently on by default now and no longer directly mentioned on the options menu for audio. I’ve been playing with stereo but gonna give 5.1 surround a go now and see if I notice a difference

you can disable if you want to in advanced audio settings. i'd recommend it

I wonder if simple on liquid would've worked if they tried it this year. The players have significantly more time between tournaments and for the first time ever. It's healthy for the (e)sport and may foster an environment for more successful mix teams in coming years.
