no

you guys bitch about what a clusterfuck ms code is, and that nt sucks but then you're not happy when ms puts things on track to end legacy support and be able to finally move beyond nt

I don't understand you guys

>>55018471
i have a 750 ti i play csgo only on low res with all low settings and i barely get 150 fps

i dont think its enough

>>55018413
What are you talking about I'm on Freebsd with a gtx 1080 right now.

>/g/ is one person

>>55018688
yep, and that person is me, how's it feel to know you're just a voice in my head?

>>55018609
>once they drop legacy support they can drop legacy support

wow enticing

>>55018499
That's what Intel did with their Skylake processors. They still support Linux but they dropped support for versions of Windows older than Windows 10.

>>55018724
>>55018724
once they drop legacy support they can write an os that can actually take full advantage of current gen hardware,

how's that for enticing?

>>55018703
Great, because I am the voice that controls you.

>>55018660

Complete waste GPU power isn't it?

>>55018760
well take a look around us cheif, you're doing a shit job, step it up

>>55018626

My 8600GT used to get 45 fps on CSS and I still managed.

Do you have a 240hz monitor or something?

>>55018739
vague and meaningless

>>55018735
I had to update my Linux kernel in order to get my new Skylake laptop working.... When all you need is a new kernel, Linux makes the concept of OS version update incompatibility seem silly.

>>55018867
ok how about an os with true multi core support

>>55018889
still vague and meaningless. why don't you try explaining what performance gains are impossible without single core compatability and why in detail instead of spouting buzzwords like a lazy salesman.

>>55018932
>pleas spoonfeed me
sorry bruh but if you can't see/be assed to research the advantages of not being tied to legacy support and being able to do prety much whatever the fuck you want with a fresh from scratch kinda windows then I can't help you

There's no technical reason 10 drivers won't work on 7, just mod them to skip the checks or accept 7 SP2.

That's an outdated version this has been supported since before the card was released.

>>55018626
Low settings csgo is CPU oriented and less GPU.

I'm just waiting for a complete rebuild of Windows.

>>55018810
Most GPUs are for vidya. GPUs are not mostly for vidya. Learn the difference, it'll save your life.

>>55018976
>i-it's not my place to educate you????? CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE??????????

>>55018413
10 is just as shit as any other Windows version

>>55019128
>check your privilege
um fuck no, I'mma enjoy my privilege since that's kinda the purpose of having it

>>55019063
Was just about to post this, the GTX 10 series still offers Windows 7 support and AMD will probably do the same. Fuck Intel.

CSGO is odd in that you need quite a bit more than 60fps to actually make it seem smooth on a 60Hz monitor.

Playing CSGO at 60fps on a 60Hz monitor looks awfully choppy.

Remember when people hated XP for years until they didn't?

Probably not, because you idiots are underage.

>>55019037
>j-just mod them
Yeah while you're at it why don't you mod your GT 610 into a GTX 1080

>>55019162
Except XP offered features that you got used to and started liking more. Windows 10 offers botnet and data mining that no one other than the severely mentally handicapped will like more.

>>55019162
People hate Windows 10 because it's extremely invasive to your privacy compared to previous versions.

>>55019198
How it is?

>>55018739
>>>>>>>implying

yea right kid, they're so fucking shit they have to use linux as their router OS because bing causes too much data traffic and windows can't fucking handle it.

>>55019235
of course they're shit, they're still tied to legacy support, then entire point is to end that

Its the Kaby lake line that wont oficially support W7 so if there is problems with it they wont fix them.

It will still support Windows 8.1.
