due to airfare shenanigans, I'll have about a day and a half to kill in Montreal. aside from stuffing my face in poutine and getting drunk, what are some good things to do in the downtown area?

More poutine

I would suggest you swap in a better video card. A gtx 630 isn't providing you a lot. You don't have a lot to work with in that processor, stay in the 6-700 series gtx and go with a 670/680/690/760/770/780. Stay away from the x50/x60 and you will likely be bottle necked if you go as high as a 780 or 690

hope this helps, even a 670 will be a huge increase

Any recommendations on what to buy exactly? Preferably something on sale of course

I tried to look myself but couldn't figure it out, so many numbers and models :blink:

could always turn down your in game settings
these are my settings luler maybe start with these and see what you can turn up a bit for slightly better looking cs if you want

Most of my settings were on low already, but changing them to match yours exactly got me up to about 60 FPS in game. Seemed to help and no noticeable loss in quality but still low

Any chance formatting my computer will help? It's pretty slow in general.

just buy a gtx 1050 I just noticed how cheap they are, $150

it'll run what you need and it's 4k capable (not enough power for gaming in 4k but it'll handle movies, video etc.)

You will likely need to consult kijiji or ebay for cheaper than 150, go do some casual work for some cash and get a proper card imo

I mean if it's not possible to do what I want for under $100 then it's fine

I'll wait til I have the expendable money.

License thing fucked me over for now <_<

yeah im sem but i think valves bs

pre rank shift i was mg1 with no mic or headset i was using speakers lol
got rank shifted to SEM and im way better with mic+headset now and got up to mg1 4 or 5 times and gnm a few times
always get the crappiest teams game after game until im deranked back to SEM

i seriously think its impossible to rank higher then your pre rank shift rank its like you hit it and they reset you
i even got a played with a hacker msg multiple times which has made me unranked then when im ranked i lost a rank
and idk who the fuck i played with that hacked rofl prob nobody just valve doing valve things so their rank shift looks like its working

like i can play drunk and high and play better then the kids i get qued with in mm i gave up on that shit
i mostly play the free faceit they have daily and monthly ladders with community nights on fridays 128 tick servers etc etc so much better
odds of winning anything are really low but atleast i get a chance to win something other then a derank
