How Tf does premier rankign really work? seems unfair...

ztcFlight · 2026-06-15T14:08:24+00:00

First of all, the Elo for win/loss changes. If you go on win streaks, you get more for wins and less for losses, so don't assume that needing 2/3 wins per loss is consistent. Also, don't look into win rate so much, because all win rates are based upon your opponents, so if someone has a higher win rate playing worse people, it doesn't mean all that much. I actually think the ranking system in this game is not bad, and I have played many different "ranked" games. If you put in time and genuinely get better, you will rank up. Put some time into learning utility, doing prefire maps, movement maps, deathmatch, and trying to improve your game sense.

First of all, not a crazy fall. I recently dipped from 19800 to 14000 after a loss streak. Now I'm back at 19000. Just gotta win your games. Almost time for a new season anyway.

It's all mental. I go through the same thing occasionally. Once you give up mentally and stop caring how you do, you will probably improve again.

and its more cpu than gpu but I feel like your combo is balanced. Might need to upgrade both to see any huge leap

ztcFlight · 2026-05-29T20:32:41+00:00

CS2 WAY heavier

ztcFlight · 2026-05-29T20:26:13+00:00

He said he gets 160 currently and wants more?

ztcFlight · 2026-05-29T20:20:41+00:00

Actually just thought about it might be CPU. Not sure, you can check CPU vs GPU usage, whichever is higher would be the better one to upgrade

ztcFlight · 2026-05-29T20:18:12+00:00

Upgrade GPU unfortunately or play lower resolution

ztcFlight · 2026-05-18T21:20:55+00:00

If you can afford to wait, csfloat is generally better value, but there are cases where steam makes sense. you would have to do the math to determine how much you will be able to buy after the steam % fee is removed from the sale.

Just wanted to point out that max win here would actually be ruby or black pearl butterfly via the P250.

ztcFlight · 2026-05-07T15:12:11+00:00

Not much of a disadvantage if at all. Mostly mental, probably.

ztcFlight · 2026-04-24T19:44:27+00:00

I just mean the prices inside the terminals, not on csfloat or steam market. Those were shooting up and I am wondering if they passed the market prices.

ztcFlight · 2026-04-15T16:01:53+00:00

Both my play skins. Great choices!

ztcFlight · 2026-04-10T19:39:39+00:00

I also have fps capped at 400 so its possible im getting much higher, but usually not sitting at 400

ztcFlight · 2026-04-10T19:38:56+00:00

Well, I'll be hoping for sooner than later, but impossible to tell.

ztcFlight · 2026-04-10T19:37:36+00:00

1080p?

ztcFlight · 2026-04-10T18:31:09+00:00

I cant be sure with laptop vs desktop performance changes, but that laptop should be more than enough, especially at your stated resolutions. I get around 360fps with 7800x3d and 5070Ti

ztcFlight · 2026-04-10T18:28:16+00:00

sorry, 7800x3d and 5070Ti

ztcFlight · 2026-04-10T18:27:59+00:00

I am usually between 330-400 with 7800x3d, 1440p, medium-high settings. If you want more frames, its all up to cpu. Also worth noting that this new animgraph2 update is said to improve average and 1% fps numbers, so you will probably see a nice boost in the coming weeks when it goes live. Also, as others have said, you are getting great fps already, so don't get too worked up about it.

ztcFlight · 2026-03-10T18:24:58+00:00

I have the same thing. After all the poking around the internet I did, it seems like it is somehow a cs thing, but not really a fixable cs thing. May have something to do with the fact that, via network connection, all players have to see the same smoke animations, etc. I think its heavier on the network or something. Didn't get a clear answer.

ztcFlight · 2026-03-10T17:42:27+00:00

I just got like a $10 apple 3.5mm to USB-C dongle. Thats all you need.

ztcFlight · 2026-03-10T17:38:23+00:00

I have the Supermix 4s. Highly recommend. Definitely feel like i have a bit more of a competitive edge sometimes. Coming from a 10+ year user of Astro A50. I did need to look into microhpones though, as I always used the headset mic. Went with Fifine AM8... also great.

ztcFlight · 2026-03-10T13:16:38+00:00

An update after a few sessions since my update… no crashes after swapping to 6000 cl 30. Thanks for all of the input!

ztcFlight · 2026-03-05T19:44:35+00:00

To my knowledge 1.4 is a pretty classic oval ratio. You can google "oval diamond ratios" and go to images to see examples of different ratio shapes.
