Anyone play this on a laptop? I was thinking of setting up a 144hz screen with a second PC, since mine is connected to a 50" currently and a 24" screen and setup won't work out the best, and I could use a laptop otherwise.

Was thinking about something with a display port output to properly use a gaming monitor instead of HDMI, but trying to find any idea if a 960M or a 970M runs this well hasn't been easy.

I'm guessing it's hardware since it's a brand new thing, but anyone have any ideas on what would cause this so I can avoid RMA hassle if it is a software problem?

New computer, fresh Windows out of the box, updated video drivers, install Steam, install CS, verify CS successfully.

Load any map offline, no bots, can barely walk across a map before the screen goes black, followed shortly by a hard lock.

Does this only happen in CS? If not then I'd give it a fresh reinstall or possibly try and rollback your GPU drivers.

I think I'm stuck with the RMA. After spending a while with drivers and such, I gave into waiting an hour for Windows to do its thing with a fresh wipe/recovery/whatever it's called in Win10, then went straight to a driver update, Steam install, CS install, verification of CS to the same result. I've only tested CS as being connected over mDP to a 144Hz screen and spending time Netflix in bed are going to be how 98% of its operation time is spent. e: before the Windows re-do, I rolled back drivers to an older set that was hosted from Asus themselves and same thing persisted

It also sounds like overheating, if it doesn't happen in some system intensive game maybe not. The tech savy goons in this thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3774409&pagenumber=80#lastpost could probably help a bunch if you give them your specs and details.

Overheating is plausible with how it acts, but this is going from a time frame of launch game, load map, run around map. It's going blank and then locking up literally in less than 2 minutes of game play. Either way for a brand new gaming branded laptop if it's overheating this quickly that's not something I'm going to tear into to fix, it's going back.

Yeah I've got my solid built desktop in my basement, but that's wired to a 50" plasma. This laptop is being used to connect to a new speedy LCD panel for CS and other laptopish stuff. If the replacement also shits the bed, then I'm just going to get a big screened tablet, put together a small ITX box for this monitor and be done with the current idea.

Stuttering sucks. It hit me hard in high school and still acts up occasionally and I'm 30 now. Like at times I'll just have to stop and substitute in a different word when one just doesn't want to come out of my mouth.

Played 2 comp games last night. The 1st in weeks that I can remember. It went... well. Surprisingly my team actually communicated, got serious when we started to lose a couple of rounds. Maybe I'll come back to comp full time.

Did you lose your rank? I've played this week for the first time since the summer and it put me in at S6 where I've been dropping 40s as a result

Yes, my rank had dropped again down to S4. I was pretty drunk and in the high 20's for kills. It's kind of fun to play comp and not really care. I think this is why I got burnt out on it so hard and went to OW land. Being an aggressive T awper is pretty easy because people cant hit their shots at this level. Good times. I might try to play again because I'm burnt on OW now.

You never saw what low ranked games were like before they implemented it. Every second game had 1-2 guys straight destroying the newbies because they kept putting csgo on sale for five euros. The gap between an experienced half decent players and new/bad players is utterly gigantic and when a game takes 30-45 minutes to play out on average you can make people absolutely miserable. While smurfing still happens, I have 2 fun accounts, its nothing like the plague it was back in the day.
It helped, but games were still lovely far too often.

Prime is really the best thing they've done so far.

Prime only matches first to cut back on the frequency of it, report poo poo that's suspicious, don't complain about it, and just play your game until it's done. If you let that poo poo tilt you it'll carry over and ruin your night.

I think it's hard to say with vanilla skins. Getting gloves that coordinate with your common skins (ak/m4/awp/pistols) probably makes it look quite a bit less jarring.

Everything is prime.. But I did take a break for like 2-3 months.

I stopped playing from either June/July through October and went from a nova something to silver 5 or 6, but in the last month have bounced back up to between nova 3 and 4 a couple times, so yeah, the decay is real. I spent like 3 weeks with a 2:1 or better K:D ratio shittin on silvers and low novas nearly every match
