So ill admit, CS2 never ran perfectly in windows either, and with everything having to be "shiny" and new all the time and with updates the game was bound to get laggy.

However I do wonder, is it the fault of my 15 year old amd fx cpu, or is it linux? I have a gtx 6700 gpu which should be plenty overkill for cs2. But ive heard cs2 is processor heavy. Im also still on ddr3, 32 gb.

Should have said its an 8 core fx black edition, its the best one they made (9350? I cant recall).

Also, I dont think all my ram sticks match exactly so I may check that. But yeah it seems its just way too old. Alan wake 2 wont even launch on it.
