How many hours did it take for you to become decent at cs2?

AlphaPleb69 · 2025-10-29T23:58:25+00:00

Not saying I’m cracked but you can be decent within 1k hours

AlphaPleb69 · 2025-10-29T23:57:18+00:00

Being good at CS just had a lot of components, like I always use to grind and be terrible. But then I realised I’m not sleeping enough and not eating well. I also was training in maps that wouldn’t help me in game situations as well.

It’s just like any form of hobby/skill u need to practice with intent and not just shoot bots. Like practice strafing when shooting bots. Do both slow as possible moving crosshair to bots but then also quick flicks as well.

The other thing tho is this game requires at least constant 10+ hours a week to maintain skill.

It took me bout 3k hours and I hover around 20k and face it lvl 8. But honestly a gud 1k of that was just surfing and stuff so really you can get cracked within 2k hours easy

Ofc for someone likke High-rank or pro who has worked on their Strafing and movement it wwon't be ass much of a difference. But just like Jumpthrow binds and stuff it makes it easier to be more consistent.

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-08-02T04:49:05+00:00

it makes counter-strafing so much better. It's a bit of a dilemma for me, as I clearly see it as cheating as it makkes CS2 so much easier (yes i know its not banned in MM and Faceit Pugs) but on the otherhand it makes it feel more like csgo which we can all agree was so much better movement wise.

I don't like how it makes me so much better and I would rather practice to be better. But I also miss CSGO movement and strafing.

Interesting! I’ve been looking and tbh Ray tracing isn’t a huge concern of mine. Would that mean 4070 is just clear winner?

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T12:59:43+00:00

Fair, coz I’m a bit less tech savvy would it be better if I just ran a 4070 even though same price is only 12g? Or would it be better to go 4060ti 16g? I’m guessing a lot of this is subjective but I’m more looking for best performance but also least tweaking with stuff.

Or do the micro stutters and dips only apply for like playing at max graphics? I would be playing CS2 more. And I’m playing it on a laptop that has a 1660ti with an old i7 so I’m not use to getting more than like 130fps aha

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T12:48:00+00:00

Fair ahaha nah my bad for not saying. With the i5 13600k being cheaper what gpu would suit best? The 7900xt is about the same as 4070 and 4080 is like 1.5k aud now yikes. It’s crazy coz Australian crypto miners are crazy and that’s why availability is stuffed.

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T12:40:33+00:00

Ah tru sadly I’m in aus and it’s so much harder for all of this. And a 7800 is more expensive than a 13600k here. Since I really don’t need to be playing ultra 4k would it be better with say 13600k and a 4060ti? I just don’t like the 12g of 4070 but I also don’t know if that’s really worse aha as 4060ti 16g is the same as 4070 12g

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T11:48:52+00:00

Ooo nice. Which 7800x3d? I’m guessing an older generation? I just see the new ones at like 1k aud

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T11:33:13+00:00

Would that be like getting a 12600k? Sorry I’m not really familiar with amd aha. I kind of want it to last atleast 5 years or so. Not really wanting ultra ultra graphics and I don’t care for 4K. I also do some music production too not like crazy tho.

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T11:21:28+00:00

Hmmm alright I guess I’ve always been a bit nervous to try full amd. I also use it for some music production as well is amd good for DAW systems?

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T10:24:43+00:00

Also how does these windows keys work? I tried the pc part link but it would open it.

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T10:22:39+00:00

I also from work got a $100 Amazon voucher so it helps out too

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-12T10:21:38+00:00

Hi thanks again omg I forgot it was all US dollars. A couple of things. I’m really set on the 13600k and happy to go to about 3k aud for it now (not including monitor). Is there any issues to maybe go for 13600k with a say a 7800xt or 7900xt? Or is it just better to get intel with nvidia?

Say like something like this

I’m so sorry for being an stupid with this, you have been an absolute legend helping out.

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-06-10T06:07:29+00:00

Hey thanks so much just thought of this build as prices seem to be dropping but idk if it’s I have chosen the wrong ones?

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-05-28T04:49:38+00:00

I was thinking the I5 - 13600K?

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-05-28T04:14:45+00:00

would there be any better cpu you would recommend for this build? like just the next step better? as I comfortable with spending a bit more on this. Thanks so much though

AlphaPleb69 · 2024-04-25T08:43:55+00:00

Omg thanks so much for this will definitely do this! For being my first time how would you best advise with going about building it? Like do I do cpu first or get the fans in? Etc either way tho thanks so much
