sure he/she cant play with 100
2012-05-23 18:38:53
you need a compatible monitor :/
2012-05-24 11:58:55
right, but monitor which can handle 75hz is not so expensive:)
in Poland, you can get 2 of these monitors for Kinzu price, so I dont think that this is a problem
2012-05-24 13:31:46
60 is too low
you need atleast 75
2012-05-23 18:41:28
Cs will be much more smooth if you play with 120Hz then you cant go back to 60 it feels like you are playing with 30 fps xD But you wont be better because of the monitor but its nice to have a high hz monitor cuz everything feels so good.
2012-05-23 18:42:34
Higher hz makes the game smoother, in a way similar, but not identical to higher fps.
2012-05-23 18:42:53
Someone told me:

+ HZ = Better RECOIL and tap

Its true?

2012-05-23 19:16:56
Yes.
2012-05-23 19:19:00
of course.
2012-05-23 19:26:52
no
2012-05-23 19:27:48
yes
2012-05-23 20:02:25
Well.. As the monitor updates the game faster with higher hz you'll be able to control the spray/recoil better, and the overall feeling will be a lot smoother.
2012-05-24 00:57:17
no that depends on the response time of ur monitor.. basic monitors provide with 5ms.. there are others with 2ms.
2012-05-24 12:01:12
The response time of the monitor only causes the delay between the computer/input devices and the monitor it self. The hertz frequency makes the game smoother.

so what u are saying is that smooth game = better recoil control ?
2012-05-25 09:44:59
how do you check monitor hz
2012-05-23 19:19:56
Launch CS. Push "MENU"->"INFO" on monitor.
2012-05-23 19:22:09
ok thanks. its 60 hz, how do i check about my monitor can take 75/100 hz
2012-05-23 19:27:31
Try -freq 75 in the launch options. If this doesn't work, try updating your video drivers and look around the control panel if there is any herz option.
2012-05-23 19:33:36
I can't explain it on english :)

Try to put "-freq 75" in CS launch options and if it will launch without errors then your monitor can take 75.

Also if it will work,you'd better make 75 HZ on your desktop.

Mouse2 click on desktop => properties => parameters => additionally => monitor

cs cant launch when -freq 75 in launchoptions =/
2012-05-23 19:37:36
give me your monitor model
2012-05-23 19:41:33
Packard Bell Viseo 220 DX
2012-05-23 19:49:37
Yep,60 hz. Well, at least you can enjoy movies :)
2012-05-23 20:06:59
haha, yes :P
2012-05-23 20:08:10
lol i can write 400hz in launch options and my cs open normal so i dont thnik its work that : o
2012-05-23 20:41:09
make sure you made a space here "-freq 75"
2012-05-23 20:42:56
ofc i did space ; o
2012-05-24 00:41:52
You're not doing it right then...
2012-05-24 12:02:33
ye its hard to write -freq 100
2012-05-24 16:51:25
same question ? -full -freq 121 but it opens
2012-05-24 12:45:39
What resolution do you use in C-S? My LCD has native refresh rate 60Hz too, but counter-strike, if playing @ 640x480, enables me to set refresh rate up to 75Hz.
2012-05-25 10:01:04
8x6 :-)

hz=fps when regarding cs 1.6
2012-05-23 19:21:14
more hz, you see more fps, you see faster your oponent :d

also your movement in game and mouse movement is faster but trust me . if you dont have stable fps do not buy crt. unstable fps + 100 hz crt is most unsmooth game ever much worster when you have low fps on lcd

So much bullshit in there, and mouse movement is not faster but it feels faster.

lol bullshit? you probably never play at fps 60-70 (low end computer) with 100hz. I know it because iam using crt monitor and it feels foking gr8 when i have stable fps but when my fps drops (I mean at least 60-70 fps) its so much badder then playing with 60-70 fps on lcd. trust me. and actually yes your movement with mouse is faster because is refreshed much faster then on lcd

2012-05-23 19:42:35
No please understand that its another feeling and btw if you have 60-70 fps then turn on v-sync...
2012-05-23 19:59:00
you need better pc
not monitor
try fps_max 70
crt is better than lcd/tft for cs
2012-05-26 13:11:06
that is the worstest comment in a while
2012-05-25 11:07:19
100 is best , but when you have LCD , try 75 :)
2012-05-23 19:38:31
i cant play with 60hz it stutters way too bad :S
2012-05-23 19:41:38
+1 .. wonder how many guys you have owned with 100hz :P

2012-05-23 19:51:35
is it a bad thing?should be good!
2012-05-23 20:03:16
kinda late isn't it?
2012-05-23 20:06:02
nop,its never late
2012-05-23 21:47:09
if that person's age is say 7 years, you cant expect him to start playing from a few years before .. :/
2012-05-24 12:05:12
hes 17
2012-05-24 15:29:15
hmm.. i dont give a rats ass how old he is.. just making a point here..
peace out :DD
2012-05-25 09:46:25
If u wanna keep cs community still alive we need new cs players!
2012-05-23 20:16:06
75Hz - 100Hz
as different as day and night.
2012-05-23 20:01:45
I don't know why it is actually important,but when I play on more hz than I'm use to the game feels so much slower and it takes hours for me to adjust to it.It was such a pain in the ass for me in lan until i figured out that was the problem.

-freq 75 in launch options FTW!
2012-05-23 20:05:01
"-freq 75" or "-freq75" ? Do I need space between them?

Post edited 2012-05-25 11:36:37
2012-05-25 11:36:24
-freq 75
2012-05-26 16:05:50
Go 100/120 hz try this ;)
2012-05-23 20:42:12
i put 75 on my pc and cant go full :o
I have Acer Aspire.
its pc portable
2012-05-23 21:05:31
try to make a new resolution in your nvidia control panel with 75 hertz!
2012-05-23 21:47:41
i think in a pc portable this hz dont result, but i wil check
2012-05-24 00:50:09
I have a notebook, and it only supports 60 Hz. The video card is a Intel HD 3000, I already tried to create a new resolution, but nothing. Anyone have a tip to force to use 75 Hz?
2012-05-24 01:09:54
You can't force a LCD to support higher HZ rates. It either can or can't. With a CRT you can create a custom HZ driver usually
2012-05-24 10:27:21
fps_max 101
-freq 100
2012-05-24 09:43:28
how can i see what hz i use in cs? soz im so bad in pc issues
2012-05-24 10:28:46
its your default desktop frequency rate.. try adjusting it from display settings... you'll come to know
2012-05-24 12:06:58
if youre used to with 60hz its okay
2012-05-24 14:03:21
Well i played like almost a year with 75Hz, and when i changed monitor to 100Hz it was look very smooth. I can't explain it but, higher is better.
2012-05-24 15:42:27
More hz

Longer E- D==========3
2012-05-25 10:55:07
"-freq 75 in launch options FTW!"

I cant find :/
2012-05-25 11:37:55
Steam => cs 1.6 => right click => options => (set launch options)
2012-05-26 13:15:37
I play with 65 i think.

I spray likeaboss
2012-05-26 13:33:07
Of course it's important.
HZ means frequency of monitor's refresh. Human eye doesn't see the difference between 50 and 100 but brain does.
2012-05-26 13:40:47
well for exemple if i put -freq 100 i see it windowed but if i put it to -freq 120 i can play fullscreen and it feels smooth...
