You really do if you're playing hitscan. Now that you can eliminate buffered frames going up to 300 FPS isn't really needed now but you'll still want to be in the ~150 range w/ buff frames removed.

The extra frames really do help if you are making large angular swings in PoV. If I spin 180 in 1/4 second, I get one frame per 12 degrees of turn. That creates large differences between frames and your eyes can pick that up even at 60 fps. The additional framerate, while overkill in most situations, allows you to catch details in the middle of big turns.

Something is going totally haywire with my system, cannot figure it out for the life of me. I've mounted a thing for the PC to be right next to the window, so I've got the GPU temp down in the high 60's low 70's again. In QP, while maintaining 175+FPS, my entire game was graphically suttering to the point that I thought my entire system was going to crash. Like 2-3FPS type stuttering, but the display was saying I was over 170.
I've downloaded some stuff to look at my CPU temp - I'm thinking it may somehow be the bottleneck here. I've messed with all of the g-sync and visual settings and I think I've got the temperature thing under control. This most recent bout was completely unplayable after 5 minutes.
-edit - CPU seems to be in the high 60's with this stuttering occurring. I'm totally at a loss.

Well that was fun, after playing an alt account in platinum ranking for a while, I decided to go back to my normal account which had fallen from 2000 to 1600, ranked up all the way to 2077 which is a season high on that account. It seemed a lot easier after a week or so at platinum. I think I got better

I had an asus gaming laptop, it overheated all the time, had it sent in probably 4-5 times in one year and most of the result was repasting or replacing the gfx card. Wouldn't lemon it for me but man thing had great specs but couldnt cool itself off. This one had fan exhaust in the back not the bottom. Model was a G53J, still have it laying on the floor. Before it started overheating to where it'd blue screen, the damn gfx drivers would crash over and over.
I have an MSI laptop now, works a lot better but I'm still skeptical of gaming laptops due to overheating. Desktop ftw.

Kinda feel same way. Bought a Razer Blade last month with a 1060, and the thing is a beast. Unfortunately, the damned thing gets extremely hot and extremely loud when doing any kind of long gaming on it, so it kind of defeats the purpose a bit. It looks cool though, so there is that
No issue with my Asus ROG G751JY. Been using for 2 years now. It stay cool and very quiet, I had very few crashes as far as I can remember and play very well everything I have been trowing at it.
I love bringing it downstairs and plugging it on the home theater.
I was using the 200$ wired/wireless Razer MMO mouse for years now. Took me a month to finally train my brain to forget to use those damn side buttons. I got a Deathadder elite. It's a lot lighter than my old mouse and I feel my aim improved by quite a lot.

Just ordered a 144hz monitor. This better be worth it boys.
I assume if I have a 144hz monitor and a 60hz second monitor that is all kosher as long as I play OW on the 144? Like I don't need to completely unplug the 60hz, yeah?

Alright cool. I figured the refresh was strictly hardware based monitor side and my GPU wouldn't downclock or anything to meet the monitor's refresh rate. Just wanted to confirm.

You can even see it if you do quick mouse circles between the two monitors - the 144hz captures way more of the mouse movement.
One note - you'll need a Display Port or a DVI-D to make it work - HDMI can't handle it. Just mention because I had to run to the store after getting it because I only had HDMI cords.
edit - Mini-Display Port -> Display Port will work as well.

I, like a lot of people 3+ starts, have no reason for lootboxes any time except during events. Then, during events skins are added incentive to play. I think adding 1/2 the roster with skins is fine. It gives the hardcore something to go for and the casuals do get fucked a little bit, but they just need to make them buy only after the event for their inflated price so people will stop complaining.
If they didn't add all this shit during the events I probably wouldn't even open lootboxes ever. The only reason I do it now is for currency to then use during events to buy skins.
