I bought a 760gtx 4gb edition too and need to lock the frames at 61. Everything above and my monitor starts to flicker like crazy. Despite the fact that my monitor is crap, framerates are quite inconsitant, between 70 and 270 fps. It's enough for me as a casual nowadays thought. More than 10 hours of gaming during a week is an exception. I'm not impressed by the 760 at all... but you can't have everything. I have a few days vacation (the real one) left. Maybe i can snap off a few hours to optimize my system... | ||

i think his popularity has more to do with the fact that he makes relatively well produced videos, has a radio voice and got in on the ground floor with csgo on youtube (having started out with a reasonable sized fanbase which presumably helped his early csgo videos get visibility) than anything to do with game knowledge. that he's now positioned himself as a tutorial maker is pretty shrewd as it's a good way to keep people coming back to your videos, but he's nothing like an authority on counterstrike. some of the shit i've heard him come out with about the 1.6 pro scene (having barely followed it myself after ~2006) is cringeworthy. also "greetings, hi, the warowl greets you"? fuck off, dude. | ||

The rest is basically eye candy | ||

Also, give us option to disable post processing (that saves another 50+ fps) | ||

Meanwhile swag getting 400 fps on his steam, but I guess his CPU is much better than mine. Well RIP, it's not like I need 300 fps to play anyway. I heard removing walls both make you gain FPS and rank up though! | ||

On January 04 2015 13:42 amazingxkcd wrote: Since you guys decided to make a bunch of posts about the validity of warowl's advice, I will espose my own thoughts on it. What exactly is the percentage of warowl's subscribers that actively watch him and using his advice, broke out of the silver/nova range? Because, with my current CSGO experience (Badge-eagle level and CEVO open team), ( it's not much to say but it gives me some sort of a valid merit) watching warowl videos is not going to help you improve that much in the long run. Sure, anyone can easily make it out of silvers with simple lessons and videos, but if you really want to get involved and really want to play this game competitively, your best option is to watch the actual top tier pros, not a youtuber who's not even on an open team. Using the starcraft example, I don't fucking watch replays of Ninazerg or watch replays of Greenelve to learn how to play Defiler ZvT, i fucking watch jaedong replays and I fucking watch effort replays. Anytime that you have the option to learn from the best, you just straight onto that. So, why watch warowl for anything when i can watch nothing's videos or the random videos that NiP players made, or even just watch them stream on twitch? You learn way more that way since you are watching the top players with the best mechanics. When my team goes to review team strats and tactics, we watch mostly NiP and Fnatic demos, we don't watch warowl's strat talks or joe shmo's strat talks. Hell, we play inferno almost the same way that NiP plays inferno (3 a 2 b, 1 a smoke banana right off and we triple smoke it, etc...). The point that I'm trying to make here is that if you base your play from the best players in the world or at least take inspiration from it, you'll improve way more than taking advice from someone that's not even relevant in any competitive scene. All in all, if you have never played an FPS game before in your life, sure he's ok to start off with, but for the love of god, don't watch him if you ever plan to take this game seriously; just take advice from a pro instead. Tiring... Do you watch F1 racing or rally racing when you're learning how to drive ? No, you take lessons with basic instructors. Do you watch Usain Bolt and his training method when you're learning how to stand up and walk ? It's the same. I might watch Jaedong videos, in fact I do, but all I'd be able to do is copy (and I won't), not understand. To start something, you need to understand the basics instead of mimicking (badly) things you don't even understand why they exist. Pros have a state of mind, a brain working differently from a scrub. You must shape your way of thoughts first, before being able to learn from the very top. Once you are able to understand and at least know what you're doing, then you can switch to learning from the top. I mean, when you don't know how to buy a kevlar or adjust your sensitivity, learning what weapons to use when, know money usage and ecos, shoulder peeking and other advanced techniques are useless. Baiting an awp shot ? Useless in silver, some don't even know exactly when to shoot to be accurate or aren't used to it, when your velocity is 0... I agree it's bad to take bad habits, but decent advice is what you need at that level, to cover *fast* all the basics and not be discouraged. They don't teach you drifting at your first driving lesson for a reason. You can't even handle the pedals and wheels... | ||

Can*t complain. 4:3 isn*t my thing though. Settings still maxed Weren't you playing on a laptop before? If so, WELCOME TO THE REAL GAME!  Edit: Or are you still on your laptop and just tweaked settings/upgraded it? I'm confused! | ||
