Probably the last one I spent much time on tbh.It's shite compared with CS 1.6 anyway.
Probably the last one I spent much time on tbh.
6460 hours and counting, according to my Steam account.
That's about 38 weeks.
Fuck man, with 8 hours kip a night it's over a year.
A lot of it is probably when you aren't even playing. I have hundreds of hours on games I've played for about 40 because steam counts time you are alt-tabbed out.
If you split it up into 40-hour "working" weeks, it's more than 3 years.
Thankfully I actually installed it for the first time about 18 years ago, so it's not all that bad really.

I don't think I've played 1.6 since my kis was born, he's a teenager now.
Amazes me people jumping on 4k gaming this soon tbh. Think HebburnMackem said he was diving into it 2 or 3 years back. 1080p looks great still.He could get 200fps at 720p no problem, but it’d look like shit. FPS isn’t everything.
Don’t let the internet influence him that much, 120 is spot on especially if its at 1080p.
200fps and 240hz monitor is his name Ninja by any chance?My son is after a gaming PC (currently has a 2 year old Lenovo Y520 gaming laptop). Typical 13yo, plays mainly Fortnite and CoD. Reason he wants to upgrade is to get a better FPS, he says at the minute he gets around 120, (which from what I’ve googled sounds like a good number for Fortnite, what do I know though...)
He’d like to sell his laptop and put the money towards building a gaming rig. I’m just trying to get a handle on the numbers, if we built a PC what would a realistic figure for the parts be, I know he’d need a 240hz monitor, good GPU. Is £1000 realistic?
What I don’t want is to go through the whole thing only to end up with something that’s not that much better than his current laptop.
Any advice appreciated!
I'm impressed with the balls on this kid.200fps and 240hz monitor is his name Ninja by any chance?
he's having your life mate. 144hz is fine. any game 60-100fps on high/medium is fine.
Fair play to him like but he's either clueless or a little bastard no offence to the OP.I'm impressed with the balls on this kid.
That'll be because of the improved response rate of the monitor NOT the refresh rate.Depends what he ends up playing tbh. If he's playing just Fortnite then 120fps is more than enough.
However if he were to play a game like CS:GO, I'd say that he was justified in wanting more than 120fps. (Not that 120fps isn't exactly playable!). Even going from 60hz to 144hz for it was game changing

Yes.That'll be because of the improved response rate of the monitor NOT the refresh rate.
That's a point so few people get. Input lag is a real thing in FPS games.That'll be because of the improved response rate of the monitor NOT the refresh rate.
Shame the laptop in the OP doesn't support G-Sync as it shaves quite a chunk from the lag timings.That's a point so few people get. Input lag is a real thing in FPS games.
I'm laughing because it's ridiculous to think it's going to make any difference to your gameplay.
At 60fps, you're getting one frame every 0.0167 seconds.
At 144fps, you're getting one frame every 0.0069 seconds.
At 200fps, you're getting one frame every 0.005 seconds.
Recent studies have shown that the brain at its absolute fastest can only process visual information that lasts a minimum of 0.013 seconds, so essentially, much more than 76fps and you're fooling yourself that you can see any difference at all. Brains just don't don't work that quickly when it comes to visual information.
In the blink of an eye
You are talking rubbish like.
Go and watch one of the many FPS side by side comparison videos on a decent monitor and tell me you cant see the difference?
I dont care about whatever links you provide, there are many visual examples on youtube where the difference is night and day.
