The Curious Case of Counter Strike Global Offensive

[NaNoW]

I have read on nearly all of the forums, that CS GO is a cpu heavy game, not a GPU heavy game.
I am starting to build a pc, but also want to play cs go at more than 150 fps...do you guys have any experience in that regard..
CS GO guys might be able to post their FPS and computer configs so we can compare some data.

Configuration is

2GB ATI HD5800. plus SSD.
Constant 75-60 FPS.

[MENTION=4177]NaNoW[/MENTION]: i m sure ur plan includes a 120Hz monitor becoz a normal 60Hz will give u tons of screen tearing.

see this is the issue...no one knows why the game runs so smooth on some pc and weak on others..
i.e you have a core i7, your should be getting close to 150 fps..

There you go Bro

And I suggest a Quad core CPU (4 cores) for Online Gaming . Because in online gaming we run a lots of Applications in the Background Such as : Steam , teamspeak 3 , Teamviewer , utorrents etc . With a quadcore CPU and Good GPU You can experiance a smoother gameplay . 2 cores are fine too if you don't run heavy (multi-threaded) Apps in the background . And about laggy experiance on core i7 i think his System is Unbalanced for more clarification i can say that Pentium G processor with a middle fast GPU can run CSGO at high Settings in 1280x720 resolutions if the system components match each other perfectly .
:soh:

Thanks for reading my full of s**t Post .

And 60 hertz in gaming is fine hertz don't matter a lot but the Response time of LCD or CRT monitor or any other type of display device should be less than 6 ms and above 8ms you will experience weird white trails behind the moving objects especially when playing games At high FPS .

Yes, but not for today's processors though. In fact, all Source engine-based games are not GPU-bound.

A low-mid-end system can do that without breaking the bank.

CS GO guys might be able to post their FPS and computer configs so we can compare some data.

Sure, here's the output of my fraps.txt file after 60 second run:

2014-08-04 22:58:34 - csgo
Frames: 15989 - Time: 104891ms - Avg: 152.434 - Min: 78 - Max: 198

This was done on a 16 player/180ms+ server running de_dust2 vanilla map, everything was set to their maximums except MSAA (which I keep at 4x) at 1920x1080/60Hz (I chose the default map because CS tends to give better fps on non-standard maps; see all deagle maps in CS:S for example).
During that period I went through some GPU-intensive scenarios as well (like below) if that helps:

My specs are not that high either, a 2nd generation i3-2100, 8gigs of RAM, and a HD 7850 2GB that's clocked at 1GHz speeds/memory at default i.e. 5400MHz. I also have an SSD as well, if that helps, but my games are installed on a 7200RPM HDD. As for software,
Windows ver. 8.1.1 x64, Intel INF ver. 10.0.13, Intel RST ver. 12.9.0.1001, and lastly Catalyst 14.4 (13.251) video drivers were used.

I m running a core i5 cpu gtx 660 and 4 gigs of ram windows 8.1. My average fps is around 150 fps max settings at 1280 x 960 resolution.

I ran it on Amd phenom xii 511 3.4ghz
5gb kingston ddr3 2133mhz ram
750gb hdd
nvidia 9400gt 1gb ddr3 256mhz
At 59hz led at 1920x1080 at 16:9 smoothly

exact fps would be helpful

The lower will be the fps higher will be the graphics thats all hope u understand
