So ill admit, CS2 never ran perfectly in windows either, and with everything having to be “shiny” and new all the time and with updates the game was bound to get laggy.
However I do wonder, is it the fault of my 15 year old amd fx cpu, or is it linux? I have a gtx 6700 gpu which should be plenty overkill for cs2. But ive heard cs2 is processor heavy. Im also still on ddr3, 32 gb.
Should have said its an 8 core fx black edition, its the best one they made (9350? I cant recall).
Also, I dont think all my ram sticks match exactly so I may check that. But yeah it seems its just way too old. Alan wake 2 wont even launch on it.
I know I’m about to get rotten fruit thrown at me… but if you’re finding this rig almost good enough and don’t use it for anything security-sensitive, disabling CPU exploit mitigations will get you a substantial boost (~20-30% additional IPC throughput).
Only go this route if you understand the repercussions; see Arch Wiki for details: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Improving_performance
Interesting ! I do use it for sensitive stuff though so thats a no go for me
Unless you’re incredibly rich, a terrorist or otherwise wanted by an intelligence service or going to DEFCON the chances of you being targeted with a Spectre-like attack is almost zero. I don’t think there has been a single, large scale attack using this family of exploits.
These are spook exploits, not steal your credit card and bitcoins exploits.
1000% agreed; it’s not terribly risky in the general case.
But I don’t want to mislead anyone into getting their bank account stolen if they like to hang out on russian warez sites.
