Yea I think I will netgraph instead of showfps as I'd be interested in seeing ping etc.

Video settings are a whole 'nother can of worms entirely...

To be honest I play on my settings as the game set it. Alles on high and 1920*1080. You will hear people argue about lower res and how frame rate affects your aim etc etc etc.

I get 100fps on Dust so I'm happy. As long as it's not below 60 I am quite content

Mine caps at 299fps. You need to look into your mouse settings though to improve your game play. There are a few settings I had to turn of on recommendation and it make a massive difference. Things like mouse acceleration and the likes. I'll check on mine tonight to give you the correct ones to turn off.

How?

Every once in a blue moon something starts using CPU in the background and my FPS drops to 100 and I want to pee my pants, if I had to play at 60FPS I would die.

Once when my old GPU was in for RMA I played using the onboard and got around 80-100FPS and it felt like I was moving through water.

Monitor only refreshes at 60Hz so as long as I'm above that I'm happy

Not really to do with aim at all.
Lower details allows you to see people easier without all the fancy stuff distracting you and drawing your eyes away.

Higher frame rate will only make a difference to aim if you have a 144hz screen for example.
It does not help you get 200+ fps but on have a 60hz screen.

I play all on low but on my native res of 1920x1080

Believe me, in a game such as CSGO the higher your FPS the quicker your reaction time. A 120Hz monitor will contribute more. Every millisecond over your opponent is an advantage. Trialled and tested, true story.

Play one match with 200FPS and another you limit it to 60FPS then come and tell me it doesn't make a difference.

Was just about to say something along those lines, maybe with a 60FPS monitor you can't see the difference but you can still feel it.

If you only have a 60hz monitor it make 0 difference as the monitor only displays 60fps.
Been playing CS since 1.6 :) . Have played on 60hz and now have a 144hz for about 3 years. So have tried it all and know what I am talking about. And it is also common sense.
So if you have a 144 or 120hz your screen refreshes twice the amount in a second than someone with a 60hz. But taking 2 people both with 60 hz, one locking his game as 60fps and other at 500fps will make 0 difference as the 60hz screen will only display it at 60fps regardless

True, however every upgrade to your FPS will result in time getting used to the ‘increased’ pleasure. Any change made to CSGO will mess with your muscle memory, but positive change is totally worth it.

If you get under the FPS rate that your screen can push out sure. But saying that you will see the difference of 60fps and 10000fps on a 60hz screen is not true. As the screen can only display at 60hz. hz and fps are directly correlated, common sense :) @Soul Assassin

Someone added me on Steam but I don't know why "YourMom404" is. Anyone want to own up to being my mom?

I disagree, the more the FPS the lower the input lag that you experience. Input lag in CSGO is a big thing, it touches everything that you use, your mouse, your keyboard and even your sound. Then tick rates also comes into the equation.

That has 0 to do with your screen. That is where Raw input and so on comes on. Sound and all that has 0 to do with your screens hz or your pc fps =D Oh boy. Not sure where people get their information from. Input lag of your screen is determined by the response time. NOT the FPS! Tell em you guys are joking... please

I know exactly how refresh rate and FPS work thank you.

I never said you will see the difference, I'm telling you you feel the difference, the 140FPS doesn't just magically not exist.
