Ever since I've moved to school with my computer, I've been experiencing miserable framerate drops in both tf2 and overwatch. In overwatch I was getting 50ish fps on average during this last time that I was playing and numbers were dipping down frequently into the 20s. TF2 was also rather bad with an fps config, with frequent dips below the 50s, I'd estimate that I usually get 80fps or so on average. Also, my mouse seems to be acting up as well. Had one or 2 times during gameplay where the sensor would just lose track of movements and seemingly skip inputs.

Is it just time for me to upgrade, or is there something that I can possibly do to diagnose what may be the problem?

PC Specs

• AMD A10 6800K APU (I plan on upgrading this eventually but I don't think I've ever had framerate drops this bad)
  
• Radeon R9 390 OC edition
  
• 16gb of RAM
  
• 650W Corsair Power Supply that I had just installed last month
  
• Razer Deathadder Chroma
  
• Some HP 60hz monitor @ 1280 x 720 Resolution

Any help would be much appreciated

why are there so many afkers tonight I've had 4 straight games now that have been cancelled because people haven't showed up

I remember I had a friend that kept his left hand on the standard home row and had his configuration something like this

a - back
s - left
d - forward
f - right

his shift was always either crouch or z, he changed back and forth between the two a lot. It was a bit weird playing on it for a few minutes but after some time I was starting to get used to it rather nicely

is PPMD going to be there?
It'd be neat to see him compete again

A few summers ago I got to visit the Ferrari factory while I was on vacation in Italy with my family

The F1 simulator they had there was not exactly designed for larger folk though :c

Also way back my dad, godfather, and I got to drive on the Texas World Speedway. Funny enough we had just asked the guy that was at the front desk for a tour of the place since we saw it come up in some trip magazine suggestion and shortly after he asked if we wanted to go for a lap around the track

on one hand valve has specifically stated that with comp MM that they want dx9 to be the standard graphical wise

on the other hand if the game didn't run so terribly there would be less people trying to run the game in dx8 for better framerates

In all honesty people wouldn't be so up in arms (at least in my opinion) if the global whitelist meeting was called incredibly close to the new ESEA season AND Rewind LAN. If I remember correctly, very few or no players on Se7en were in attendance, and there were a few complaints that despite how they had some real life things to take care of, their opinion wasn't taken into consideration.

A simple draft to have sent to these players would have been nice rather than no feedback from them at all. I understand not allowing the "top player privilege" to give others a free pass to not attend but at least giving them a say in the verdict would have been nice.

Get well soon Steve!!

PRAISE THE LORD TF2 IS FUN TO PLAY ONCE AGAIN

are there any other potential A/D maps that we could test? Or other A/D maps that have been tested besides gpit?

thanks!!

I feel like this belongs here instead of in its own thread

I miserably spend my time looking at textbooks and attempt to understand information so I can hopefully get a fancy sheet of paper in a few years with my name on it

Gravelpit seems like it'd be cool to bring back, but the mention of it has me wondering if more attack/defend CP maps have been considered for play outside of gravelpit
