#29 Ways to discourage stalemating in 5cp in TF2 General Discussion

What if the medigun/crossbow has a slower and slower heal rate as you hold 100% charge, making it easier for the other team to push into you because you have lower hp players? It would reset after popping of course.

#63 Warhuryeah rant? in TF2 General Discussion

rocketslayrocket league is exciting to watch but it's hard to quantify how much is skill and how much is RNG imo

Having played it some I would say it's not really RNG based. It's obviously much simpler than TF2, but it still has a decently large skill ceiling with the movement/strategy.
One major difference with rocket league and TF2 in terms of competitive is:

#10 Valve limiting coaches in CS in CS2 General Discussion

Herr_PCan we petition valve to do the same for tf2?ValveWith unrestricted communication with their players, coaches can currently function as a seventh player, and not solely as a source of guidance or training. Activities such as keeping track of hats, calling plays, and general situational awareness are important components of TF2 gameplay. If a person is performing these actions, we consider them a player. Since the goal of our events is to identify the best six-player TF2 teams that exhibit the best combination of all TF2 skills, the current participation of coaches in the game is not compatible with that goal. To address this problem, future events will enforce the following coaching rules: During a match, the coach may only communicate with the players during warmup, between maps, or during one of four 30 second timeouts that the coach or player can call. Obviously, third party events can use whatever rules they want but we recommend using this coaching rule.

#3 Dx 90, 95, or 98? in Q/A Help

For me 90 is the worst by far, but there is little difference between 95/98.

I made some changes (+r9, smaller ssd, fixed motherboard).
What should I look for in a psu for this build? I assume around 500W. Would you still recommend getting one with multiple 8pin if I don't plan on upgrading this or anything after it's built?

Setsul#11
For TF2 you can get away with an i3, an i5 makes almost no difference (5%). I think CS:GO needs a bit more power so to be on the safe side you want an i5-6500 or i5-6600.
I'm guessing you need a monitor as well? Is that included in the 100$ budget?

Would be good if you could post whatever partlist the shop suggest so we can check

I just looked on their website so far. I haven't gone there yet so I didn't talk to them about parts.
I saw you made some build a few weeks back for $750, should I try to base mine off of that? I want the monitor (120hz probably?) to be included in the $1000 yes. I'm looking for a balanced build so the 6500 looks good (they have it in stock as well). Is there a reason you prefer Intel over AMD? Thanks for the help.

I'll keep poking around their website for parts.

ZestyFire Also if you really want a prebuilt I guess you should try to get an i5 6600 or 6500 and the Rest basically doesnt matter for fps in source.
Just want to mention that while this might be true, don't get an absolutely abysmal (or no) graphics card because there's a limit.

My current laptop has an i7 processor and Intel Integrated HD Graphics so I'm aware LOL

Edit: i7 3630QM @ 2.40GHz for clarification
Point being my graphics card is holding me back a lot (I think)

FireIdk about us Stores but there are some Stores here where you can select your own parts and they build the pc for you, its probably a bit more expensive since you have to get all the parts from the same Shop, but still cheaper than buying a real prebuilt pc.

Also if you really want a prebuilt I guess you should try to get an i5 6600 or 6500 and the Rest basically doesnt matter for fps in source. For Streaming you want to look for an i7 but I guess you didn't Plan to do that.(I think Ram speed enhanced your fps a bit but usually ddr4 is >= 2133 anyways?)the301stspartanYou can 100% bring your parts to a computer store and have them assemble it for you for a fee. Doesn't even have to be their parts. Do this instead of buying prebuilt if you want to save money. You want a strong CPU, a decent GPU, probably an SSD and a 144hz monitor. Check your options at pcpartspicker, it should be possible for under 1k.

Also not sure if it's possible to run tf2 at stable 200 without a config these days regardless of hardware

I just checked and my local(ish) place builds for $130. Thanks for the suggestion! I wouldn't have thought of that.

Thank you everyone for the comments so far.

Cerdurare you planning on using an fps config, or high quality settings?

I don't really care about settings but I don't want to use a cfg (can't in CSGO, tf2 is moving in that direction).

@others I know building is a great option, I just want to look at other things/know what I'm doing first.

#1 LF Pre-Built (run tf2 at ~150 fps) in Hardware

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to computer hardware, but I've been using the same laptop for games over the past few years, and I think it's time for an upgrade. My goal is to run CS and tf2 at 150 (preferably 200) fps stable, but I don't want to build my own computer (I would break something). I don't know how realistic this is, especially with a monitor and OS still for under $1k total.

I found these online:
https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=1379615
http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/AMD_Six_Core_Configurator

but, I don't really know who to expect out of them in terms of performance. Also, if anyone knows any better alternatives that would be appreciated.

#6 Windows 10 anniversary update boosts FPS in Customization

bearodactylUnrelated but does windows 10 give better fps than 7 or 8? I haven't bothered to upgrade (or rather reinstall to avoid bugs and whatnot) from 8.1 but may do so if there are real performance boosts.

I had 8.1 and went from ~93 fps on benchmark down to 70 on Win10, but then I changed dx from 90 to 95 and went up to ~110. I never bothered testing 95 or 98 on 8.1 so I'm not sure if this was Win10 or not. I'm pretty sure CSGO seems to run better now though and that's locked on dx95 (never did any benchmarking though).

If it's free to upgrade I would say do it. You can always revert.
