In CS2 my 10900K with 4070 the frames were bad with 7700x and 4070 its getting closer to good. Feels good at 5.4 ghz
I'd just like to add on the CS2 framepacing issue, its not just the huge frametime spikes but the delivery of frames in general thats an issue for a lot of us. Most of the time 1 frame may be 2ms then the next 4ms or 5ms then 2ms again and so on (gap widens significantly at lower framerates). Very difficult to be consistent in the game now as it just doesn't feel smooth in general, and pretty ironic that Nvidia actually mentions consistent frametime delivery as being important in their guide.
@@Alexdiaz727 Reflex/Boost will not cause issues. It's a very simple thing that applies at a driver level. The issues are people running uncapped FPS and maxing out their GPU usage. Some parts of maps are more CPU bound, the GPU is then dropped from 97% usage down to 80% which will create an inconsistent feeling.
Uh... Was that a mistake? Cs2 is dx11?!?!
Dx12 has been out for what... A decade now?
Funny out of all the places Nvidia works with Denny's who's had more discrimination run-ins than any other chain in the past 20 years.
Pointing out the issue with Newegg possibly pulling a "I'm changing the deal" and not offering to send it back is a huge red flag for me. Glad you stressed this point.
Yeah it's shady. I wouldn't even consider this program even if the price offers were good. Too many red flags in their rejection policy.
Yep they should at minimum have a default policy of "request a return of your item, but this time you pay shipping cost".
When you add in how shoddy their return inspections seem to be... Yeah, I'd avoid this promotion, as well.
Newegg sucks
@@TheZoenGamingyeah, their non-existent customer service and shady business practices swore me off of Newegg years ago. Ive straight up had them steal my money when I returned a kit of ram and they rejected the RMA for a reason not consistent with what I even returned and kept the ram kit and my money ..
Keep in mind, those cups had AI generation turned on, so the native number was really only 6-7 cups. Plus they were actually only 2/3rd the size and only looked normal size due to super up-scaling.
Cupscaling?
FAKE CUPS
underrated comment!
The interstitial coffee cups were interpolated using DLSS (Dangerously Leaning Saucer Stack)
Since Cup Reconstruction is indeed new tech, Jensen's claims of being able to carry more cups than anyone is probably true.
You guys need to send some gpus to newegg undercover and see what happens
This one!
I was wondering how many have been offered for tribute before they posted this story.
What will happen is that they will just lose money
While they are at it, they should uncover the criminal activity of all the second party buyers
Shhhhh!
_They already are_
Beve Sturke is currently away from his desk ;)
_edit_
Steve is so far ahead of the game, I'd think he might be behind some of it himself if I didn't know better. He is basically consumer electronics Batman.
And I am mfkn _here for that_ without a shadow :D
There's a lot of people that are terrified of used items without going through a store. And terrified of selling on eBay or marketplace. So the idea is great, but some of those policies + knowing Newegg, there's gonna be some "yoink" going on and then an apology tour.
And there's good reason to be terrified, fraud is rampant with expensive HW. The first PC gear I sold on eBay, I was robbed blind. I was an inexperienced seller and didn't notice the red flags, shipping address was a forwarding mail service, buyer claimed the product (an RX580 8GB) didn't work. eBay allowed them to keep my money without returning the item, I just got screwed.
Even with a honest buyer I had difficulties. More recently I sold an RX 6800 XT. Mint condition, recently repasted / cleaned, thoroughly stress-tested, shipped in full original packaging. Buyer claimed that it was causing Windows to crash often, requested a return/refund. I authorized it but helped the buyer, they eventually made it work and accepted it. Turns out some buyers are just clueless with hardware, but a return means the seller gets shafted at minimum with the shipping costs.
Yeah it's an irrational thing. The real difference is between new and used. The "refurbished" gaming consoles from Gamestop are a meme at this point. So I expect the Newegg GPUs to also be a meme. They are just going to take the gpus, not even look at them and sell them to end users, then refuse the warranty if anything goes wrong
Pretty funny how the solution to the problem is exactly what you wanted to avoid
Not to mention ebay / paypal will also chunk what you get in the end. Ebay 15% really closes the gap from ebay sold pricing to newegg. It's obviously still better to do it yourself, especially if you can secure local cash sale, but if you're putting in 5+ hours in the sale is it worth your time still?
@@GL1TCH3Dan eBay retail would make more sense
The Newegg offer changing stuff is basically identical to what CEX does here in the UK. They have grades of product from A (complete in box) to C (device only) and even if your item is complete in its original box and undamaged they'll always tell you it doesn't qualify as A grade because of some minor thing like stickers missing. So the quote you get from their own website is never what you actually end up with after sending it in or dropping it off at a store.
I've never had that problem with CEX.
But you don't have to purchase a new replacement from them beforehand.
Honestly I've never had that problem.
In fact, last time I sold them a phone they quoted me a C grade then after testing paid me for a B.
I think the real problem with CeX is consistency between stores. Some stores are ace, some are pretty bad.
You don't know if Newegg will be doing it this way. You slander a company with no evidence.
@@Mike1984-lc9rhuse a older account before trying to roar for a retailer infamous for handling returns 😅 from that motherboard incident to the strange gpu buying guide, people with sanity wouldn’t say “no evidence”(no evidence until someone falls the trap, and you can still bark the “doesn’t falls on me”😊)
I've gotta say, Anonymous at least has a sense of humor. The cup reconstruction line got me smirking.
It's good. I had a hearty chuckle.
The fact that the EVGA 3080ti is still 1000 dollars on newegg is nuts. note: I own a EVGA 3080ti
Thats for evga hardcore fans, since they dont make gpus anymore, their last products will be expensive
@@tehran0212They deserve to be ripped off 😂 1000 usd for the logo of a company no one will remember in 10 years
@@cosmic_gate476 Don't say that, 3dfx is still a huge name in some circles. And rare cards are sold for a lot of money even today.
@@masterluckyluke The value comes strictly from the rarity and nothing else. What I'm saying has nothing to do with the reputation of the company
@@cosmic_gate476 Rarity alone doesn't produce value. There has to be a greater group of people who want to have the item, because they are fans of a company or something like that. Without a group of potential buyers even the most unique item is totally worthless. So, the name of a company or a good story behind it is always important. Or to make it extremely easy. If I would produce a lego like brick that only exists once in the world noone would ever want to have it, but if you could buy the very first lego brick ever produced, it could be worth a fortune. Even if the brick itself is nothing special and exists millions of times.
"cup reconstruction" xDD Glad there are still people there with a sense of humor. Brilliant work!
The prices look half-way decent on the trade in value, but I do agree some of the wording is ambiguous. The thought of leaving my GPU in the hands of newegg and their "discretion" would leave my feeling very uneasy. I'm sure there will be horror stories to come, can't wait for that video! haha
Is it any better than selling your perfectly functional card to somebody on ebay who claims it's broken and you get screwed completely because they always side with the buyer? I don't know tbh. I'd rather put an ad in the local paper at this point lol .. let me demonstrate to the person that the card works fine and then the deal is done.
Corpo trade-in is a small convenience and greater risk than dealing with actual second-hand sellers/buyers for someone who knows which end of a GPU goes into the motherboard so i don't know who would use it. In other words they are desperate to offload 40 series.
Steve, Grand Slam on this weekly news report!
Glad the team is back at it after so many intense projects.
>Grand Slam
el oh el.
Well played. Enjoy your fast break.
GPU trade ins seems like something that would function really well at a microcenter. Guitar center does this for used gear. Would lead to less inconvenience as far as shipping goes, and used buyers can actually get their eyes on what they're buying. Newegg though.... uhhh 😬.
That was my first thought, I'd be ok trading in... but only in person at a Microcenter
I wish Microcenter was near me.
It would be alright if they would offer close to what its worth. Currently they are offering like 1/4 to 1/3 of what its worth. It's a joke
@@hossman8499reminds me of Gamestop
I'm laughing so hard at the last story. THANK YOU GN for doing such incredible journalism ❤
You raise an excellent point. The fact that they open the possibility of haggling down the price AFTER they already have your card, without any apparent ability to back out and ask for the card back sounds like it could be a huge gotcha if abused by Newegg. That price table is already well below what one could expect on ebay prices (sold listings, not just listing prices), and anything below that would just be robbery. Sure, some consumers might try something cheeky by sending in a broken card, but there should be the option for the consumer to back out if they are about to get ripped off.
The prices align with what I see with sus or explicitly broken gpus on Craigslist in California.
The goofier side to the news is an interesting idea. Steve's got a great, dry sense of humor, and I would love to see more silly mixed with serious.
I just looked at the trade in value of the 5700, and...70 dollars is all they're willing to give... People would be better off just selling their gpus on ebay...they'll get way more even with all the crazy fees and shipping. 70 dollars??? Its as bad as trading in a gamestop...
$70 for an RX 5700 is terrible. Even just selling it to a friend for the same cheap price would be better.
“People”?
Does everyone have a 5700?
Maybe that advice just applies to people with a 5700 that don’t think that’s a fair trade in value.
Someone with a different card might think differently, so giving generalized advice doesn’t really work.
That’s funny too. I returned a 5700 for my 2070 super and they’ll give me $140 for it.
By the way, did you subtract the fees and shipping cost if you were to sell it on eBay?
You didn’t did you? 😂
@@dangerous8333I do. Complete with original blower cooler and a water block from Corsair. But for $70, I outta give it away to a friend in need than making NewEgg turn it into a profit.
@@dangerous8333 let's be real. Even if you did subtract the fees from ebay etc you would definitely make a lot more than $70. Stop defending corporations ripping people off
@@dangerous8333you didn't read. He literally said "even with the crazy fees and shipping"
I've been playing Cyberpunk recently and the added cup reconstruction is a game changer! Thanks Nvidia!
Who would actually play Cyberpunk willingly
When I see Newegg on the title again, I immediately know it’s good stuff…
idea of cup dlss sounds insane, with cup dlss you upscale 100ml cups to 300ml cups, but those still weight less, so you can carry 3x more cups without increase in weight, that's genius, cup generation probably can even double that, but i heard some people complaining that there's latency when drinking, and if you put down cup too fast then some coffee might be stuck in air and fall down after a moment
Unfortunately, it won't be available in restaurants that have an exclusivity agreement with AMTea. *Alegedly*.
Almost went the trade-in route on my 2060S with them, but was able to sell it on CL for $150.
Didn't experience bodily harm or death in the transaction, so I'm calling it a win.
CL?
oh craigslist
@@TheQuakeIV Q4.. such a gem :)
A company here offered me 150€ for a 3060💀
Jensen at Dennys: "The more you buy, the more you save!"
I happy to see the two "CS2" on the benchmark list.
I am suprised no one has moved the battery pack to the rear of the headset or a waist mounted battery pack. It would allow for a more balaced or lighter headset. In the Army, when we started using a lot of dual tube NVGs, moving the battery pack to the rear of the helmet made a difference in long term wear and "comfort."
I think there are some like that. The pico I believe for one has the main battery behind the head. And the Apple one has an external battery I think
Quest Pro has the battery on the back afaik. Quest 2's battery is on the front and it gives you a permanent sensation of it about to fall off your face with the standard strap. Quest 3's is on the front too, but being much slimmer it's not that bad, or so they say. We'll see soon enough.
That's how the apple one works.
That is the optional "elite strap with battery". $129.99 USD
get a powerbank a fanny pack and a long usb cable boom youre done
That last story about the cups. Excellent! Liked and subscribed!
Glad to hear you're adding Cities Skylines 2 to your test suite. It's always been cpu limited (single thread frequency), but now it'll be more multithreaded so it will be the ultimate CPU torture test at high city populations. Most players want to know the best CPU possible for CS2!
Love the fact you tried to find a video and looked for Jensen holding 10 plates. Shame their isn't a meme photo yet
I did the Newegg trade in option. Traded in a 2080S. Got $180 for it, which is a bit less than if I sold it third party but didn't' want to deal with the bullshit that entails as well. Went really smooth, got what I was offered right away once it was delivered.
What GPU did you end up buying with that trade in ?
@@jako997 4070TI - Gigabyte Eagle OC, dropped below $800 so it seemed like a good way to step up into the 40 series (though still a ridiculous price)
I've watched a ton of CZcams videos, but you guys are few and far between, one of the few that actually bring something to the table. You take the time, the work, the research and the corresponding analysis. You're not just spouting arguments, but you analyze every detail in-depth. (chatgpt translator sorry this) 😂😂
I love the chapter/timer on the side of the video progressing aas the video does its a nice touch
No way I'm trusting Newegg for a trade-in but with that aside I'm excited for the new tech on the horizon especially the Ryzen lineup.
Would love to see a GN "Secret Shopper" of the Newegg GPU trade in service.
I'm glad you covered the Quest 3. I have a Quest 1 and have played some PCVR on it like Half-Life Alyx. I'm very interested in PCVR options even if it's a bit niche. Glad you're including it in your coverage!
That last story: I nearly died from laughter. What a roller coaster ride.
Pretty cool that the 14700K could be a legitimately powerful drop-in upgrade for alder lake/Z690 users. Especially since there hasn’t been any major changes in motherboard tech since alder’s release.
Its the same cpu as 13th gen with miniscule higher frequency. I'd hoped for something more obviously.
@@impuls60 There's the new HEDT stuff at least. Consumer space I don't think we're really going to see a need for truly new CPUs until the next gen cards come out. And even then with how that product segmentation is going it'll probably only be necessary for the overpriced 90 level cards anyways
I mean, The Dennys thing is pretty cool I think. A CEO going back to his roots and sort of honoring the birthplace of the company. I think thats nice, And puts a bit of context to the company. As much as Jensen seems to have become an out of touch weirdo tech CEO, I dont think this is nearly as goofy as Steve is making it seem. I think its very relatable and a nice gesture.
I wondered if it was done in response to the comments of him being out of touch.
@@Fulano5321 of course it was
Where in lies the magical difference between journalism and shitposting? Props to the anonymous source for going along with it.
That thermal pad ad reminded me that I use one on my rig. I haven't taken the 212 off the CPU in 3 years, so i guess that stands as a testament to their durability in general
19:07 You said it pretty well there. I quit using my Oculus headset when it asked for a Meta account. Would never buy their products again.
it's really sad how a Kickstarted project went from a small group of hopefuls to the current Facebook-infested garbage
Nvidia has Sméagol energy. Started out nice and innocent but became corrupted over time.
Smeagol is the good part of the creature Nvidia is definitely Gollum 😂

Will there be any FSR3 testing in the future? Such as testing it on AMD, Nvidia, and Intel cards, and also older "unsupported" hardware?
Defo buying a few coasters for the cat drive
Thanks Steve!
Thanks for supporting the cats GN!
I'm ashamed that I came up with the same frame/cup reconstruction joke as Nvidia. Let me pause the video whilst I go and re-evaluate my life choices.
On the positive side, I hear their marketing VPs get big money!
Big, or just up-scaled?@@GamersNexus
Now I officially refuse to buy any NVIDIA product until I see the video of CEO handling those cups. Or plates!
What a Phil Spencer "look guys, I'm a normal down-to-earth person just like you!" move.
Would be nice to do a video about trading in multiple cards in multiple conditions to get first hand experience.
I preordered the Quest 3, but I plan to almost exclusively use it via Airlink connected to my PC, like I do with my Quest 2. I'm mostly excited about the new pancake lenses and full-color passthrough, and the new controller design.
What do you mostly use it for? Gaming? And if so .. what games?
Very interested. Thanks.
I also pre-ordered with the same excitement for passthrough. This will be my first real jump into VR as I don't count the OG PSVR disappointment. So I'm also interested in the games and such you like. What's some good stuff to check out?
Thanks

Are you going to review fsr 3 and amd fluid motion frames?i have seen others use it online but i am waiting for your professional review
Im really surprised gamers nexus, hw unboxed or digital foundry have not done a deep dive yet
@@sijedevos2376 The key factor would be in the "deep" part of deep dive. It takes time. Anyone putting out a "deep dive" video of a tech that's only been out for a few days is lying to you about how "deep" they're diving into it.
@@sijedevos2376 AMD did not give reviewers any notice of the launch. Reviewers got it when everyone else did. Likely so users would cheer over the high FPS, while reviewers will point out the horrendous latency and artifacts
It normally takes at least a week to make all the test and so on… So wait one or two weeks and we will have test videos!
I can't help but find it very strange that none of the major tech channels including this one are talking about fluid motion frames or FSR 3 since its actually dropped. Not even a mention of it in this news piece
AMD didn't give media a preview version, and it might have fallen outside of the window for this video's production. In any case I'd love a @GamersNexus deep dive into it :)
It came in very hot and and without notice. On a Friday. There's a lead time to producing videos, not withstanding it being on a weekend. Bit of an odd release from AMD
IIRC they said they’d wait til Cyberpunk integrated it so they can directly compare DLSS 3 and FSR 3 in the same game
@@fob911 Alex Battalgia at DF tweeted that he's getting a 4k 120Hz capture card for testing it; but has other things in the production schedule to do first. So the media outlets clearly had no notice that this was going to drop when it did.
Video production takes time, unless they sent stuff to the press weeks in advance you are not going to see videos talking about it for a week
Thanks, Steve.
MOAR JENSEN MEMES!!!
Gods, it just never gets old. LOL
We should send them RMA stickers with every GPU so they know how it feels lmao
Nvidia cup reconstruction is the next gen future I was hoping for with the release of the 4090. Let’s hope Nvidia can course correct for their next launch and implement this much needed feature.
Thanks Steve
It would be great if you guys could go through the trade in process and document the experience
even tho gpu prices are going down, its still insane to me that a current rtx 4080 costs almost as much as my current rig lol

Intel: Meteor Lake will power notebooks and AIO’s.
AIOs: what if we pull an Apple and sell a soldered Intel Meteor Lake system?
Intel wouldn’t be wrong in this scenario…
Quite a lot of slim desktops use soldered CPUs, we absolutely will see prebuilt desktops with Meteor Lake arriving at retailers. Intel doesnt make desktops, so they arent at liberty to confirm this, but it will happen.
Socketable CPUs, RAM and motheboards may disappear completely. The physics and economics are mostly on Apple's side (speed of light, power usage, latency, bandwidth) with the only exception of thermals, but that's only an issue for high end, not majority of consumers, when an SoC can now reach 14 TFLOPS.

Way to go Denny's for having one of the world's top CEOs serve there and also for having the greatest metal concert of all time happen in it.
With Newegg's history, I don't think I'd trust them with trade ins. Policy is too open to abuse. I can see a scenario where someone in their inspection team deems a card damaged and 'disposed of' then next thing see that card put up for sell on the website.
12-15 cups is impressive
OMG @GamersNexus, the last Jansen segment, brought me to tears... Humility as in more cups than anyone else :D :D
newegg wanting people to trust their expertise at reviewing trade in cards after selling broken motherboards is quite rich of them
Csgo players are pissed cause its an unfinished alpha version that they forced on us and didn't have to.
i used the trade in program over a week ago i had no problems
Just started video. 😅 can't wait to see the gamestop esc trade-in value of gpus on newegg
Does Valve have a patent on their index controllers. Having any other VR controller other than the Index's seems terrible.
Definitly not for finger tracking as there eete controller. Shape made by oculus is not that bad, technically 75% of index success is fact that layout the same
Newegg's GPU trade-in prices remind me of how Gamestop likes to treat their customer's trade-ins.
if theyd accept it from new egg why wont they accept it from a craigslist or kijiji or ebay offer?
this is a scam on the normies and a way to add downward pressure on used card prices
imagine finding someone on ebay selling a 5700xt for $75
making $$ off idiots who are lazy
Please continue testing for CS2!!!! There are so many of us eager to see hardware comparisons and latency etc with reflex! THANK YOU!
Cup Reconstruction made me snort my coffee. Thanks, Steve. ☕
The Gpu trade in is a definite no go for me. I'd rather take my Rtx3070 and keep it in a backup Pc . I can see a gamer not being fully aware of Newegg's trade in prices vs their inspection process. You change your mind and they may send you back a Gpu that's totally not yours but similar 🤔
I highly doubt any large company like a Newegg are going to do a bait and switch on people.

lmao cup reconstruction...
"thanks steve"
I love this show .
Ok, that cup reconstruction line caught me off guard
I think the trade-in program from Newegg is a great program if implemented correctly. Selling a GPU through eBay costs time and money. You would have to spend the time creating the auction, packing the GPU, and waiting for the time when the GPU to arrive before even getting the money to which eBay and PayPal will take 25 percent cut. It would be nice to be able to have the selling of the new GPU done in the same process of selling off your old one.
It will still cost money... unless you do the whole process yourself.
@@paulct91 that's the thing. If you sell the GPU on eBay then you are essentially doing everything yourself. You will need to take pictures, provide a detail description of the GPU and it's condition, purchase shipping material, securely pack the GPU and drop the package off to carrier. It's a very involved process. If Newegg creates a program that simply the process to where you purchase a new GPU and ship back your old GPU to it's facilities and they handle everything else, then it to me would be well worth it.
@@chrits3396 - You also have to hope that the buyer doesn't do something to mess it up and then try to return it. Ebay is a much bigger risk to sellers than it is to buyers in most cases. I like buying on Ebay but I don't prefer to sell expensive items on it.
25 percent cut? wait for the GPU to arrive? Is Ebay in the US so different? Here in the EU it's 10-ish cut and there is no need for paypal for years, Ebay is the payment processor themselves (accepting cards and Paypal and anything else) and just sends me a bank transfer with the money after a day or two.
@@marcogenovesi8570 Yeah, no idea why anybody would use Paypal.
Nvidia would be a smeagol, as it is crazed and unrealistic and has schizophreniac attacks, AMD Radeon would be dobby as it is following in tracks and kind of traces behind... for Intel Arc, i have no idea, maybe chewbacca since it is strong gpu but stupid with those drivers, tbh i'm not well versed with SW franchise since it's not my cup of tea, i think i kind of did get all major cinematographic brands in 1 comparison, so im kind of proud of that, lol
Maybe Jensen wanted to extend Nvidias culture beyond silicon and A.I? The Denny's story helps give some humanity to this technology company.
When I picture Jensen sitting at that booth back in 1993 with his (2) friends developing an idea of Nvidia, it gives me a glimmer of hope of the American dream. His story is truly inspirational.
Watched some video on CZcams a while ago that told the story of Jensen. He helped create a company that created GPUs but gaming wasn't really a thing yet that could leverage the power of what they created.
They created a product in an industry that was just getting started. They literally had to develop the software that game devs could use to create games that could leverage the products Nvidia was developing.
I equate that to a company making monitors for computers but computers didn't fully exist yet. So the monitor makers end up helping others make computers just so they could sell monitors.
Your insider response was HILARIOUS! "I think at one point it was 12 - 15. With cup reconstruction it's more." I do not laugh often but that had me rolling.
Another idea for helping Cat Angels - Do a video of the crew visiting the shelter and showcase kitties up for adoption. You could also have the video monetised and have the proceeds donated to Cat Angels. I for one would have a good chuckle at Stone (shiny Patrick, not fluffy Patrick) static testing a particularly fluffy kitty. Also, you don't need electricity or thermal paste for a pre-owned/refurbed (refurred?) feline. Just love. Also, at the end you can also have Snowflake asking who you've been petting in an accusatory manner at the end for maximum lols.
i feel like BRG might not be as reader friendly as RGB, there are many problems with different pixel layouts and how readability of content is affected
for balance ask AMD how many cups they can hold
Maybe they drink tea…
Thanks for helping cats bro ❤
i upgraded to a full AMD platform recently and while i don't play CS i do play left 4 dead 2 and let me tell you the anti lag feature is an absolute monster, it feels like the camera is an extension of my arm, like there is no inbetween for the synapses of my brain giving a command and the action happening in the game.
Let's the AMD flow through youu
I think the Newegg Trade in is a potentially dangerous rip off.
Not only are you getting poor value but depending on their own definition of rejection they can scrap your functional card, don't give you the trade in money and you have to pay full price for the new GPU you bought which you then might not actually be able to afford or at least not without the trade in loss.
So you pay full price for a new GPU and lose your old one.
I would personally avoid it and sell your old card on the used market, ideally in person, cash in hand.
Newegg aspires to be Gamestop.
And the sad thing is some people will still take the offer.
Reflex makes CS2 unplayable on my 4090. It causes the frame times to be absolutely horrendous.
Why use reflex with a 4090 the delay is already nill
@@leroyjenkins0736 because it is an advertised feature for which I indirectly payed by buying this graphics card.
Interesting. Does this happen with other games for you as well?
I've been using Reflex or Reflex Boost on every game that supports it without any issues so far (and I am very sensitive to stuttering), but I have not tried CS2 yet. Maybe some sort of variable refresh is messing with it?
@@Zyxlian CS2 was the first game with such a problem. At first I was a bit confused why my frame times where so bad, so I googled a bit and found out that the cause could be reflex. After disabling it my frame times where normal again. So it seems that more people have a problem with it in this game.
@@kripzanxx That's odd. It sounds like some sort of driver issue.
I just did a little search about it, and it seems like there are issues with the shader cache in CS2 as well.
For such a latency sensitive game, you would think that would be something that would be sorted out before release.
I'm not an NVIDIA fan, and certainly not particularly fond of Jensen Huang, but I find that Denny's story pretty wholesome. Good on you Mr. NVIDIA.
