Best gpu for CS GO

[Zzzzz69]

As the title states, what would be the best gpu for CS to play on a 144hz 1080p monitor even with high presets? As of right now. I live in the Philippines and prices here didn't seem to change. Thank you in advance

GTX 1080Ti

A 1060 6GB should give you plenty, and a 1070/Ti or better for the extreme 300 - 400 FPS or higher.

You don't need anything crazy to run CSGO. A HD 5450 was the first card I played CSGO with and it did just fine, even on high settings. If you're on a budget just find a second hand gtx 9xx series or something though.

[samcool55]

Something like an RX 580/GTX 1060 will be enough. No need for a 1080ti.

 

Even in taxing situations it should give you a locked 144fps as long as the CPU can keep up as well.

[Rupe]

If you get anything more than a 1070 I think you'll find a CPU bottleneck at 1080p

144hz monitor gsync or freesync?.

for 144hz with a 1060 / rx 580 you will be fine (1070=1440p 144hz) if you want to spend a lot on a monitor switch to 1070 / vega. 

Its a waste of money to buy a 1050ti/570 to play with a 144hz monitor , csgo should go well but newer games you are wasting your monitor.

csgo runs on practically anything anyway, unless your PC is from the early 2000s.

Read the post plz dont before quoting, he wants smooth performance high setings , he's saying 144hz screen, yeah tell the dude to put a low tier gpu to play csgo and to waste a 300$ monitor to a 150$ or less gpu.

Have you ever thought the lifespan of a monitor vs the lifespan of a gpu? 

 

@Zzzzz69 With a 1050ti/rx 570 you are well to achieve 144hz but if you have money a 1060/580 will be perfect for 1080p 144hz (better buy 300$ card than buy a 150$ and resell to get a 300$ one. )

Except that there are no monitors that display that many FPS, and barely any true 240Hz(i think theres one or two) and most are just 120Hz panels.

 

My 1070 usually gets me between 160 and 250FPS(just tested now to verify that recent updates havent changed it) in CSGO completely maxed out with 8xMSAA 16x anisotropic and High Quality texture filtering, FastSync and 2x supersampling transparency AA in the drivers. I have a 60Hz monitor but i use FastSync for less frame latency.

 

The real issue is going to be whether or not the 144Hz monitor hes using has some kind of ULMB type tech to fix motion blur.

Yeah I've had a HD 5450 getting about 144fps easy on high settings so your comment is stupid. As I said, CSGO runs on practically anything at this stage unless your PC is from the early 2000s.

[asus killer]

i'm pretty sure even a gtx 1050 is more than enough. 1080ti recomendations

People tend to max fps on csgo not for hz , more fps = less imput lag.

yeah and my gtx 570ti does too, you read the tittle he says that he needs the BEST GPU not a hd 5450...

Depends on the monitor you have , gsync or freesync(or nothing).

So he doesnt need something that does 400 - 500fps. He needs something good enough to keep his refresh rate locked.

Input lag is determined in the monitors hardware and cant be changed.

 

Unless youre refering to mouse lag, which would be worsened by Vsync.

 

Having more fragments of frames on the screen doesnt reduce lag, which is why Nvidia made FastSync for people who dont have GSync monitors but still dont want the added latency of Vsync.

Advantage 1: Reduced Input Lag

Higher frame rates do reduce input lag. This is important for competitive gaming. eSports tournaments can have million-dollar prizes for CS:GO gamers, where differences in human reaction times may be mere milliseconds apart, and be greatly affected by input lag.

Better framerates on single-GPU cards greatly reduce lag. Having 500fps = +2ms GPU rendering lag, and having only 100fps = GPU +10ms rendering lag. This means 500fps has 8ms less lag than 100fps, because of the GPU rendering delay.

In Counter Strike: Global Offensive gaming, this can be important. If both you and your enemy have the same reaction time (e.g. 150ms), you run around a corner in CS:GO, you both see each other at same time, you shoot each other at same time. Higher frame rates gives you less lag, even on a 60 Hz monitor!

I made a research before buying my gsync monitor for imput lags

I doubt a 1060 will push 400-500 fps on 1080p high setings , my 1070 high-medium struggles to achieve 165 on 1440p without dips.

Is it me or are you just going to stupid limits just so you can say you're right? Everyone has different opinions and experiences but no, you have to go by the book, by AVERAGES given by only a few testers. How do we know that the person who was running this test wasn't actual trash at CSGO?

[Amazonsucks]

The TLDR of the blurbusters article is Vsync = bad, which is generally true when latrncy is the issue. 

 

The thing they call "input lag" in the article is a different kind of "input lag" that is fixed by changing software settings. The input lag im talking about comes from the fact that LCD monitors have to use hardware for signal conversion which can add a significant amount of actual input lag, which CANT be fixed with any tweaks on the PCs software or even GPU hardware, as its intrinsic to the monitor.

 

Monitors with high input lag will actually drop or skip frames entirely from being displayed. They ought to use two different terms like "input lag" which is the signal conversion lag inherent in the display and "input device lag" which CAN be changed by Vsync on/off.

What? ,I doubt people that says that webs like blurbusters are "averages given by a few testers"

 

Dont misinform people by your pride, facts are facts despite you like or not , you are telling to a budy "the best gpu for csgo" is a 5450hd? , im telling him that a 1050ti/rx570 could do the work but if he wants to spend a little more better to buy a 1060/rx580 and you are telling me stupid? , dude there is the need to do some test to people to answer to this forums ....

You do realise most of the big benchmark websites, like userbenchmark and blurbusters usually produce their stats through averages, right?

well if there is 2 kinds of imput lag , its normal to gather on one variable , its different kind but the effects are the same , you tell me that  fps doesnt reduce imput lag , well it does not screen imput lag , but general imput lag. I know that panel imput lag cant be reduced, but imput lag can be reduced by higher fps (not panel but IS imput lag) , and thats the reason csgo players put high fps caps, and we are talking about a gpu to play csgo so i think that imput lag is needed to put in prespective.

Well i think that this post needs to be informative to op to decide what gpu wants , and I've said my points only saying that telling to buy anything from after 2000 its not a good advice.

I didn't say just buy after 2000. I said the only thing that won't work is something from THE EARLY 2000'S. Get your facts straight before you even respond to stuff I say. It's decent advice if it gets him the FPS he wants at the settings he wants.

[Peskanova]

In video games, input lag is either the delay between the television or monitor receiving a signal and it being displayed on the screen^[1] (see display lag below), or the delay between pressing a button and seeing the game react.^[2]

 

well I think that wikipedia also is wrong.
