I just stick to low, I think the fps drops is from a cpu glitch when they fixed hitboxes
Are you experiencing those drops too? None of the other grenades affect my FPS noticeably as the smoke nade does... I can run the game on high settings and I'm still really stable around 300fps on surf maps where there's sometimes 30-40 people on the server.
I'll just keep everything on Low, some people have reported that turning multicore rendering has helped them, doesn't hurt to try it. I'll alsotry capping the FPS and see if that does anything even though fps_max "0" like some of you said does feel smoother and the mouse response seems to be better/less input lag.
P.s. Are you using 1920x1080 res or... ?
Smurfing a real problem, people intentionally de-ranking, people buying extra accounts in sale time? It's utterly pathetic.
As usual, nothing but a money grab from valve and it's ruined CS.
That's why 1.6 was better, but it didn't ear as much money, as GO does. People who say CS:GO is better in terms of game mechanics are wrong, for competitive play fancy skins and good graphics don't matter, all it matter is performance.
Although, I'm Global and my smurf just de-ranked to LEM (I only lost a game when people didn't try/care), I had more enjoyable games on smurf with mature people than I had on my main with russians... Playing with deagle for the whole match and still being near the top was pretty amusing tbh.
I'm searching for an FPS to replace CS, I hate this game. But I still play it for an unknown reason, its always the same scenario... On the other hand games like BF and COD are too easy, you run spray like an idiot and still get kills. I would love a good remake of quake, I heard a new doom is coming? That could be interesting!
Going back on the topic, I know how annoying the game can get for my mates who are DMG-LE playing VS LEM-Supremes. Not really enjoyable for them, especially since CS:GO is their first CS, before it was COD mainly... COD only gives you bad habbits.
