CS:GO and playing on 4K

[Dæmon]

FPS wobbles up and down between 80 and 125 (which I've set as max) and the steamoverlay is laggy as shizzle when chatting. It's not as bad as when they first launched Cache, but it is far from stable ;O

I have the Intel Core i7 9700 @ 3.00GHz, RTX 2070 super and 64 GB DDR 2666Mhz Ram(playing on a 60hz 65 inch Nanocell LG TV with a game mode that eliminates mouselag), but even if the game is heavily dependant on the CPU, it wouldn't normally be THAT bombastic? I do not have that many background programmes open either; just Razer synapse and Steam pretty much.

Anyone also playing on 4K able to get it smooth?

Game is not designed to be played at such resolution and frame rate.
No idea why you even would be doing that.

Modern gear is to weak for 4k competitive gameplay. And hl2 engine is poorly optimised for that.

On a big screen lesser resolutions look terrible + its not for anything competitive! I asked if anyone else playing with a 4K resolution found a fix x) (other than "Yes, play at a lower resolution") but in all honesty what is the HL2 Engine optimized for?

Going from fullhd, to even 2k or 4k you wont gain anything. The game is meant to be at max fullhd, most pros using even lower reso

2k works nicely for me tho

Oh yes it works, but you wont get the game looking any better, it just drops your fps. The graphics inside the game alone limits how the max resolution will affect

I've the same setup basically. There is no point in playing in 4k. And that setup isn't even that good for 4k either.

CS is also not a beautiful game. It is competitive and more fps is more important than beauty. So when you don't like low resolution at least go with 1920x1080.

Oh well, I ended up lowering the resolution to 1920x1080. Now you see all the jagged edges and shizzle, but its worth it because its smoother. "Thanks" for your constructive input ;-D This is one of the bonuses I get for playing at a lower resolution right now lol https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1767067557077194859/4A98B1140262B192B4BB72EC4286581B7E74EC2A/

Yeah I'm sure the difference between fullhd and uhd is huge. I even play with lower resolution (1280x1024 stretched):

And as I said I've a very similar setup:

It's good that you also now say that smoothness is more important than very high resolution. I play with a 144hz Monitor with your setup and low resolution because as a competitive player for me this is key. I've 400 fps on average.

The graphics just don't scale that well when its not the native resolution :S but I am not a competitive player at all, so for me the experience and the fact that my eyes don't melt out of my head is way more important to me :-P long live casual! Take a look at this one (you've probably seen it though); it is very interesting ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=OX31kZbAXsA&ab_channel=LinusTechTips

I agree it looks kinda silly. ^^ But I'm used to it.
I completely understand you, I think the same in any other game. Games should look very nice so I try to get the best graphics settings possible. There is nothing against beeing a casual. ^^

At the end of Counter Strike 1.6 I also used fullhd resolution since fps was capped on 100 and the modern PC's could easily handle 100 fps in any situation. In CSGO and with more hz and frames are required so I reduced it again.

That's not because of the resolution, that's because something with your computer is wrong. Overclocked much? Also check console, mat_queue_mode 2 maybe runs better then.

I think a restart fixed it.
