CSGO Sticky thread

Nope, not yet, came here to ask the following, min specs say: AMD Phenom X3 8750 (thats a 2.4GHz chip) and I have a AMD Athlon II X3 460 (that's a 3.4GHz one), is that good enough?

Graphics wise I have a ATI AMD Radeon HD 6570 1GB.

I have an old spare PC with a Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.16GHz, 8Gb DDR3, HD 4870 running the game without any issue. FPS is around 60-250 pending on the map.

You will be okay, the game relies on the CPU. IIRC, that is a 3 core CPU? Best to put this in the command line (Steam launch options):

-high -threads 3

Don't know whether this helps or not, but I use everything possible to pump my FPS.

Those will be fine...you will get higher frame rates than any other current game you play on that rig (CS GO is pretty lightweight when it comes to system requirements).
 
If there is a team, we will have to start playing other maps as well. At the moment I can only play Dust 2 and mirage. The MM system is so messed up, selecting Dust 2 guarantees that Dust 2 will be played.

I think I played a match with you earlier - Staalbal was on Dust2
 
During the week it's mostly quiet, probably because it's a school night for the kids, but today people have been talking smack to me every single match I've played.
 
Have any AMD Radeon users tried Chill in CSGO? AMD claims quicker response times with lower FPS. This is the whole argument, the MOAR the FPS the better the input lag experienced by the user. I’m going to test it tomorrow.

I didn't like it at all, it felt different in a bad way.

Hmmm, I gathered the same opinion on several reddit threads. Big no when it comes to competitive gaming. Apparently Chill is only active when there is less or idle input detected, a sudden increase in input disrupts the responsiveness. From what I understand is that it is good to use in single player games to save on the environment.

I don't fully see the point, how often in any type of game do you stand still or do nothing.

I suppose there are scenario's but very few I can think of right now, maybe in some type of MMORPG I can see it being very good because you won't always be doing something intense, WoW for example would easily give 200FPS but you don't always need it, that's where Chill will come in.

Don't think I will be bothering...have undervolted my RX480 so it's already chilling a bit.

It also saves on the CPU's power draw and utilisation by reducing the gameplay FPS, it is designed to reduce the allocated resources to save on power. The tech is more orientated to mobility than desktops, batteries. What had me interested is the marketed up to 32% Average Frame-Time Delivery to display in milliseconds as experienced in WoW.

Agree.

Why did no one mention undervolting in the last 8 months, I read all about it when the RX cards were first released and all of that knowledge apparently disappeared when I got my RX 470.

I only started to undervolt two days ago after the RX 580 was released and undervolting came up again, I'm really happy with the results.
 
^, I signed an NDA.

:D

I dunno, man...it's something people should do with CPU or GPU when they get new ones. The factory voltages are not specifically set for the silicon we bought...they're average safe voltages for all chips of that stepping. You can usually save some millivolts (and temperature \ wattage) with some testing.

I'm well aware of all that and all of that escaped my mind until Friday night when it all came back.

Undervolted my RX 470 to 950mV and my temperature went down 10+°C, it never throttles and the power draw probably went down quite a bit too but i have no accurate way of testing that.

On my R9 290 I cap at 300fps.

I have noticed though that the reworked maps like Inferno and Canals my fps drops to around 180.

Point I was making is that this isn't an RX- card thing...any CPU or GPU is potentially capable of running at lower than factory voltage. Hence it not being talked about much in conjunction with Polaris...can be done with anything.
 
At least I kind of know the maps, but yes, interesting little differences.

Don't like the gun menu but that's OK, I'm sure I'll learn.

Does one get Kevlar by default?
