Worth buying r9? or new processor with mobo.

madrew · Nov 17, 2014

Hello guys , emh got a question i currently have cpu called AMD II x4 750k Quad Core 3.4GHz and basicly problem is i play CS:GO competitive , and i need much more fps i currently get 120-140 fps which is not enough some other guy had the same processor and 7750HD GPU and basicly getting loads more fpsss. could that be because AMD and NVDIA doesnt merge good together?

my pc spec's..

CPU : AMD II X4 750k QUAD CORE 3.4GHZ
MOTHERBOARD :ASUS f2a55-m LK
RAM : 12GB
HDD : 750GB kingston
GPU : GTX 650 Ti

, basicly if i get radeon r9 280 would i get much more FPS ? and the game is actually depended on cpu a bit but mby nvdia just blocking my cpu to work correctly..

or the best option would be to save up for i5 with new motherboard? ;/ i kinda have low budget any suggests guys?

CSGO is a CPU based game. (hl2 engine) I've been playing cs for 12 years. I am currently global elite in CSGO. You need a better processor if you want more fps. I'm currently running 4770k and I get 300 to 400 fps.

Anything above the 128fps needed for the update on good servers is gravy. Valve's regular comp servers are at 64 instead of the 128 and it pisses everyone off so I'd save your money. Maybe lower settings so you can acheive higer frames.

I5 will work just as fine.

lowering resolution and texture barely helps in that game. If you are a competitive CS player, it is worth the upgrade. And you should think about upgrading to a 120 or 144hz monitor too if you dont already have one.

I have everything on low for less input lag anyways.

madrew · Nov 17, 2014

I play with 1028, and actually 60Hz maybe in feuture i will be having 144HZ screen but for now

) it will do ok , and yeah i think i will save for i5 anyone knows any good mobo's but not very expensive that works well with i5's?

quandao93 · Nov 17, 2014

dont get the "k" if you're not planning to overclock. To overclock you need a decent board. I recommend a non "k" i5 with the cheapest ATX board you can find for a 1150 socket.

Do you have a 120Hz monitor? If not, why do you want more fps?

He is right you know? ^

ThatAfricanDude · Nov 17, 2014

Exactly my thoughts! How greedy could you possibly be when 120 fps isnt enough, anything above 60 is more than enough anything above 100 is totally unnecessary unless you have a 120hz or higher monitor

quandao93 · Nov 17, 2014

The general rule of thump is, you should have 2x fps of your refreshrate. so 60hz= 120fps, 120hz = 240fps. Thats just a rule for counterstrike professionals anyways.

madrew · Nov 17, 2014

Well guys haha, u saying why would i want more fps if i have only 60HZ screen, i basicly like to practice individualy in that game and when u go to deathmatch, i have like 80fps and it feels so horrible and actually not even enjoyable to play so

) for me having more fps in deathmatch would be great and i could do it more and enjoy, but i guess u just plays matchmakings then yes for you is enough.. but i need aaaaaaaaa bit more

quandao93 · Nov 17, 2014

madrew :

great counter argument.

I fully support your decision to upgrade.

ThatAfricanDude · Nov 17, 2014

I dont understand how 80fps isnt smooth for you? Seriously, 60fps is the margin for smooth, and i agree with the rule of thumb, but this argument is irrational

madrew · Nov 17, 2014

Well if u getting 200fps go to deathmatch where is 10 people, and write fps_max 200 and then fpx_max 80 and try to play 10 mins with each and reply again.

quandao93 · Nov 17, 2014

80 fps is garbage. I can see horrible tearing and all types of lag! This is counterstrike man, not assasins creed. Even at 144hz I can still see tearing.

madrew · Nov 17, 2014

quandao93 :

Exacly buddy,80fps is horrible and yeah kinda sad to play versus 300fp'sssss and have no advantage

mlga91 · Nov 17, 2014

You cant see the differece between 120 fps and 60 fps on a 60Hz monitor (except for the extreme screen tearing at 120fps), all is on your mind. Turn on v-sync.

quandao93 · Nov 17, 2014

mlga91 :

Bro Its not all on in mind and only noobs play with Vsync in CS... Vsync has it's own side affects as well. There will be mouse lag and input lag with it on. As a competitive cs player, I prefer screen tearing than mouse lag and input lag.

mlga91 :

U can feel the lag with 60hz obviuosly

atleast i do.
