      Ping consistency/lack of packet loss is hands down the most important part, as long as you're not getting absurdly bad ping/fps. I switched to a hotspot that is consistently 60-110 ms in game, but it's far more playable than my home connection (12-40 ms), which has packet loss.

      Lower resolution in 4:3 could be useful for quick menuing when buying the weapons each round as CSGO's UI is (surprisingly) readable even in lowres. Also speedrunners can benefit from lower resolution in PC games that have shit ton of menuing.
      Also IIRC CSGO has adjustment to squish the horizontal FOV to undo the screen stretch.

    • @M4xXxIkInG
      @M4xXxIkInG 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah exactly this. i think some people react better/quicker to shoulderpeeks etc, when the movement on the screen is quicker/more hectic, for example when holding an angle and one of those godforsaken crouchpeekers are sloooooowly sliding into the screen i find it harder to notice on 16:9 than in 4:3. even tho the time until they get a shot on you stays the same, they change the colors of a bigger part of your screen before doing so, thats at least how i feel. on the other hand, if your muscle memory isnt on point already, it can feel pretty weird, since it kinda feels as if you are using a faster mouses sense because everything on the screen moves by faster. But i think the fact that a lot of pros still use it today kinda speaks for itself :)

    I know it's out of the scope of the video, but not EVERY type of acceleration is bad for your muscle memory. Only the ones that yo can't control it nor tune it. The acceleration implemented on QuakeLive was and still is the best on you can use since it let's you tune when and how the acceleration should kick in and by how much, 2x your sens, maybe 1.2x, your choice. Besides most accelerations on the market are not a linear curve, making it almost impossible to predict it's behavior. QuakeLive implementation of Accel was so good that people made a tool to use the same Accel settings on every game.

      I have been using a membrane keyboard from a HP prebuilt from 2015 for 6 years now and honestly I wouldn't want a mechanical keyboard, once I was visiting a friend in an another city so we went to a gaming cafe to play and they had the HyperX Alloy FPS with Cherry MX Reds, I couldn't type on it and I was pressing keys on accident constantly because I am used to my membrane keyboard supporting my hand very slightly (which obviously makes you press random buttons constantly on MX Reds).
      Now I'm not a super high rank player in CS as I only play with my friends but when I do I consistently top frag and seem to have the best reaction time (and we all have similar 144hz monitors). Also when I used to play Dota and was tryharding ranked I got like rank 3000 in EU with this keyboard.
      So for me, membrane is superior.

    I always expected the usage of 4:3 stretched to be due to the lower FOV, heads and far away targets take more screenspace, thus being slightly easier targets (after lowing sens in relation to the lower fov). I can understand most of the other reasons, though i do not think higher framerate is a reason for lowering the resolution in this case

    4:12 - The very best wireless mice are >1ms input delay over wired. What matters more these days are the physical click latencies such as the Model O having 14ms more click latency due to it's debounce settings.
    4:53 - Higher DPI (depending on your mouse) will have lower input latency. Usually ~1600 DPI is the sweet spot and then adjust your sensitivity accordingly. Sources such as Battle Nonsense and Fr33thy can confirm this.
    16:33 - CS:GO loves large CPU cache, but unless you specifically only play CS:GO and need 800+ fps then go for it... Otherwise get what your budget requires such as a 10850k was selling for cheaper than the 5600X... What a steal that Intel CPU was. RAM speeds matter a lot too.

    3:47 I used to use MadCatz RAT mice (more than 1) and I would always put on all of the weights, it felt awesome, it was comfortable, and I was playing well. When it died I moved to a Roccat Kone AIMO and everything I thought I liked I was wrong, the lightness, the comfort, I improved even more; I have my DPI set "ridiculously low" which might have been coming from playing with a 220g mouse as you need a low DPI to control it, but now with a light mouse and used to low DPI I'm far more accurate able to stop immediately with room spare.

    In terms of headset I pretty much agree, but that 7.1 could be legit. You're totally right 2 ears = 2 speakers, 1 per ear drum, but the reality is that software isn't good enough to mimic exactly how the waves impose each other yet. The best way to explain this is that you could in theory make a subwoofer noise with an ear bud, but we are nowhere near matching that base with tiny speakers, so adding additional speakers actually can improve audio quality.

    I'm no pro but I reached faceit lvl 10. I've been playing 4:3 stretched for the last 5-6 years because when I started I had a bad computer and needed every frame I could get so playing 4:3 was my best option. When I got a better PC, I tried switching back to native but the change in resolution changes everything with how your sensitivity feels, your muscle memory for crosshair placement and angles, and I did like the fact that it made my targets slightly larger. I would guess that a lot of pros stay on 4:3 for the same reasons as me.

    On monitor resolution, I've been using a 5120x1440 monitor for a while now and the extra few degrees of viewing angle are amazing. I can check corners without moving my mouse and see enemies my friends miss entirely. Every now and then someone will call wallhacks. It's not without downsides, distorion at the edges is massive like a fisheye lens and my framerates in pretty games kinda suck.

    Philip, a higher DPI makes your mouse movements more accurate but it might also start registering unintended movements: A flick sideways might also include a slight vertical move.
    By lowering the dpi pro players can eliminate those, losing some ability to make minute adjustments.
    However, it makes it easier to move only in one direction when small deviations aren't registered.

  • @hamo3447
    @hamo3447 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gotta correct something about the headsets though. Soundstage isn't the ability of a headset to separate between channels, it's how wide the headset sounds. Open-back excels at this category, so for a quick summarize on what they're, picture a bunch of speakers lining up a circle around you with each one playing a different range of frequencies and instruments, the bigger the circle the better the soundstage. For the definition of soundstage that Philips brought up earlier, that's more akin to imaging, which is how accurate the sounds can come from different positions, making pin-pointing enemies thru gunshots and footsteps much easier. This is where closed-back shines the most

  • @sneakyman5626
    @sneakyman5626 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some points you missed:
    Mouse acceleration can be set up "correctly" and actually be usable. Usually you'd want to use an external program over the inbuilt acceleration of a mouse though. I recommend "Raw Accel"
    Also, using 4:3 stretched has some actual benefits. See it as a way of zooming in on what you are seeing. Your mouse movements and the movements of your opponents will be easier to see. This makes an actual difference in your ability to aim. At the cost of a lower FOV, blurrier vision and so on. You can even measure the difference in controlled environments, such as aim trainers or a firing range

    Getting an open back audiophile headset probably has been the best thing ive done gaming wise. Its interesting you rate the soundstage to be of lower importance because competitively, knowing where an opponent is not just left and right, but up and down is much more important than even quality of the sound. If you prefer bass from the gaming headphones, its a simple as a software EQ for bass, or even buying a DAC with a bass button. Obviously, its a much higher cost and not viable in pro settings most of the time. But its worth considering if it fits the use case.

    • @whitepolpot
      @whitepolpot 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      this, its undervalued how bigger of an advantage can a good soundstage bring, compared to getting some kind of keyboard or mouse, minimizing your input lag for such a miniscule amount that it essentialy becomes a placebo effect
      for those unaware, soundstage essentially means the arbitrary area from which the sound can come from if youre using headphones. closed ones are worse at that, because as philip said, the sound can literally bounce back from your head, then from headphones again into your ears, so it can mess up with accurate positioning of the sound

    • @whitepolpot
      @whitepolpot 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      addendum: the open back also improves comfort, as your ears will have a better breathability, because the sweat will have much less trouble escaping from inside the ear cups by the open back, not being trapped by the closed construction
      note of caution, youre not only getting less isolation from your enviroment, but also vice versa, your enviroment will have less isolation from you, essentially everyone near you will be able to hear what youre hearing

  • @carsonschreiber
    @carsonschreiber 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I thought the stretched image was so that you react quicker to an enemy peeking around the corner since any part of their body moving from behind cover (like their shoulder or the edge of a hat) would be stretched and would be easier to notice and therefore make your reaction time the tiniest bit faster. But like you said, the enemy would also appear to move slightly faster which might defeat the purpose. But let's say we have an enemy who is stationary looking through a super tiny gap between two walls, so small that it's hard to even make out he's there unless you look closely, and the walls are a pure white color (for purposes of painting a picture in your head of this scenario) and you're looking directly at the gap from some distance. The more physically bigger you make this gap between the walls, the more of the enemy is exposed, and therefore easier to see. If you stretch your aspect ratio, there would be more space between the gap, and therefore the enemy should be easier to see as well. This advantage is of course minuscule but just shows that there could be an advantage to reaction times for stretching the aspect ratio.
