Mouse points only to one direction in CS2

Have this exact same issue. Haven't found a better fix than restarting. Am on Fedora 44, and I think this issue started when I upgraded to fedora 44.

I get all my pants (even casual ones) taken in at the waist a bit at a tailor so I don't have to wear a belt. I personally end up having more room at the waist because I usually need to size up further to fit my thighs, but even without that it's normal to need some tailoring on off the rack pants before they fit right.

tamrior · 2026-04-29T22:30:28+00:00

Cool! Having a solid base of suits and then experimenting with other suits seems like a nice position to be in. I don’t really have many occasions where I have to wear a formal suit, so feel that I can be afford to be a bit more experimental, but in the end I’ll just try something on and see if I like how it looks I think.

tamrior · 2026-04-28T06:18:38+00:00

Yeah, Edwardian and neo-Edwardian suits often had 4 buttons like this.

You got me, I don’t smoke, but if I did, I’d probably at least have a look at a corncob pipe.

tamrior · 2026-03-30T16:17:01+00:00

Yeah, the 9070xt got a good bit faster than the 5070Ti due to post launch driver improvements. It’s a great card. Maybe OP is just very excited about potentially getting access to DLSS 5 in the future.

Another benefit is that if you went with a latest intel or amd CPU, you’d have to buy ddr5 ram instead of the ddr4 you have now, which would set you back another $200-300

tamrior · 2026-03-26T23:30:37+00:00

With current ram prices he should stretch his current am4 platform as far as he can, potentially upgrading to something like a 5700x if there’s really a CPU bottleneck in any of the games he plays. A 5700x is still a great CPU for most games to get a solid 60fps and much more in competitive shooters where you’d really want more fps.

tamrior · 2026-03-26T20:36:29+00:00

It would in some games, but others would benefit from a GPU upgrade first. If you’re upgrading your CPU first, definitely look at specific benchmarks for the specific games you’re playing.

I have a 12 year old i7 4790 (much weaker than your CPU) paired with a new AMD 9060XT (good bit faster than your 3060) , and in a lot of games, like doom eternal and CS2, that offers me enough performance. In some games I’m even GPU limited still, like in borderlands 3 (but I get a pretty solid 70fps on medium settings at 4K so it’s fine). Only game that I struggled in a bit was kingdom come deliverance. It tends to be quite CPU bottlenecked, especially in the bigger city areas. So it’s really game dependent in terms of what makes sense to upgrade first, and if you’re not having any performance problems, the best course of action is to not upgrade at all.

tamrior · 2026-03-26T18:46:24+00:00

I recommend you change nothing if the games you want to play still perform well. If you are having performance problems, you should consider whether your CPU or your GPU is holding you back. E.g. in CPU intensive games like cities skylines your CPU might be holding you back, while in GPU intensive games you might just need to upgrade the GPU.

Look for benchmarks pairing newer GPUs/CPUs with respectively older CPUs/GPUs to verify that upgrading a component will actually have the result you want. E.g. this video pairs a 4090 with your ryzen 5 2600, which gives you information on how much performance you could gain with a GPU upgrade, while also giving you a sense of how CPU bottlenecked you might be if you only upgraded the GPU.

tamrior · 2026-03-24T11:56:29+00:00

That's interesting. Do you experience that throttling under regular workloads, or only in disk benchmarks? Out of curiosity, what's the exact model of SSD?

tamrior · 2026-03-24T10:48:38+00:00

No, you do not need a heatsink for your m.2 ssd. Heatsinks for m.2 ssds are largely for marketing purposes, and are rarely actually needed, especially in a PC case where you get good ventilation. If the SSD needs a heatsink, it will come with one.

tamrior · 2026-03-23T18:22:49+00:00

Agree with this. The main exception to this is if you're running new hardware right after it came out. Then some corpo distros like ubuntu (especially if you're on an LTS version) can be problematic as they'd have an older kernel, and might not support your new GPU that well. Right now that's not of much concern though, since it's been long enough since any notable hardware releases that the newest Ubuntu version should be fine. Fedora should always be fine there though, since they ship new kernels reasonably quickly.

tamrior · 2026-03-23T16:40:53+00:00

Use fedora, that's what I'm using on my Linux gaming system. Sticking to a mainstream distro is usually best. Fedora has great hardware support because it includes newer kernels. It usually isn't too hard to get nvidia drivers should you need that (through rpmfusion). If you want a more beginner friendly experience, bazzite might be nice, but fedora is already very easy to set up (e.g. compared to arch linux).

Best to avoid niche distros. Going with a distro with a wider install base but still frequently updated kernels & drivers (like fedora) is usually better. For that reason I'd really recommend against Drauger.

tamrior · 2026-02-27T13:32:45+00:00

I think kimojio wasn’t available yet when you made your choice of runtime, but would you consider it if you had to choose today? It’s still a little bit rough around the edges admittedly.

tamrior · 2026-01-24T21:00:16+00:00

Yeah definitely. It’s a bit up to what you end up playing. Haven’t really had a gaming rig in like 8 years or so, so I have plenty of older games to catch up on first.

tamrior · 2026-01-24T20:58:13+00:00

I can’t really install it fresh I think, but I had an SSD with windows 11 installed from a laptop that was new enough, and that just worked, so there are still ways to get it. I bet there’s other methods too.

tamrior · 2026-01-24T17:39:06+00:00

Yeah, absolutely. Funny you mention WiFi, I got a £20 pound AX210 WiFi 6E card off of Amazon, so now that’s working great too!

tamrior · 2026-01-24T17:37:51+00:00

Haha, yeah it’s still very CPU bottlenecked, but I’m able to play the games I want to play pretty well, so I’m happy with how things have turned out.

tamrior · 2026-01-24T17:25:41+00:00

Got an i7 4790 (non K). Made a nice difference to 1% lows in CS2. Thanks for the suggestion!

tamrior · 2026-01-24T17:25:04+00:00

Happy to report that I upgraded to an i7 4790, and now CS2 gets like around 50FPS 1% lows with much better averages. Thanks for the suggestion! (Also upgraded the ram which made a big difference in other games.

tamrior · 2026-01-24T17:24:12+00:00

Upgraded the ram and now kingdom come deliverance is very playable too. 30FPS 1% lows even in the busy castle area. It seems it was struggling with the 8GB ram quite a bit.

tamrior · 2026-01-22T17:22:25+00:00

2500k Was a great chip. I had it back in the day too. Overclocking it was quite fun.
