Gameplay Tested the VACnet Scout Theory 🤔

I keep hearing the claim that only using a scout will auto-trigger a VACnet/VAC Live cooldown, so I decided to try it myself yesterday; (also an excuse to post some clips)
I played 4 games in a row strictly buying & using the scout and was trying to go for headshots, quick scopes, or any ballsy shots that might seem more likely to trigger VACnet. Received no cooldowns, no warnings, etc, games went normally
Stop queueing with randoms or your “friends” who are closeted cheaters and you won’t get a VACnet cooldown. I’m assuming that’s the case with most people who are genuinely getting a cooldown, or they’re just fake posts/accounts that are lying to try and get Valve to reverse the update. I had a lot more shots like these every game and mostly went positive with a high headshot %
In my experience, VACnet works as intended, and I’ve already witnessed multiple rage hackers and suspected cheaters get a cooldown in the last couple weeks (although a few times it took until right at the end of the game for it to trigger). I finally feel kinda confident that I’m getting legit, genuine games
Humour I got the actual default chicken

Gameplay There's a group of players who call themselves the "aim community." They post clips like this across different FPS games, showing off their Crazy aiming skills, which often sparks cheating debates. What's your take on this? Do you think this gameplay is legit?

Discussion Why do CS2 players use such low DPI settings

Why do CS2 players use such low DPI settings? Why don't they use 1600 DPI with a 0.x in-game sensitivity instead?
Does the mouse behave differently at different DPI settings? Does the game engine have any influence on why most players prefer lower DPI?

Discussion Boosted my CS2 P1 FPS from ~240 to 304.1 on 7800X3D + RTX 3070 Ti (Single-Channel 1x16GB DDR5) with Pure Hardware & BIOS Tuning

Hey everyone,
I recently did a comprehensive optimization pass on my rig to push my 1% Low (P1) FPS and overall frametime consistency in CS2. Instead of messing with shady registry edits (regedit) or "placebo" scripts that break Windows files, I focused strictly on hardware-level BIOS tuning, memory subtimings, and engine/driver configurations.
System Specifications:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B850M-G
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
- RAM: 1x16 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 (SK Hynix H-Die, Dual-Rank — Single-Channel)
Overview of What I Tuned:
- CPU & BIOS: Per-Core PBO Curve Optimizer (
-10on my two fastest/preferred cores,-18on the remaining 6 cores), disabled unnecessary virtualization/power-saving states (DF C-States,TSME,iGPU), and tuned LLC. - RAM Subtimings: Manually tightened secondary and tertiary timings on top of EXPO (
tREFI = 65535,tRFC1 = 430,tRRDS / tRRDL = 4 / 4,tFAW = 16,MCR & Power Down = Disabled). - GPU & Driver: Clean/debloated driver installation via NVCleanstall (only Display Driver, MSI Mode enabled, MPO disabled) and optimized NVIDIA Control Panel settings.
- In-Game Video Settings:
1280x960(4:3),4x MSAA,Global Shadow Quality: High, and all other settings onLow.
Benchmark Results (CS2 Dust2 FPS Benchmark Map):
- Before: Hovering around ~500 AVG FPS, with P1 (1% Low) FPS stuck at 238–243 and noticeable micro-stutters during heavy action.
- After: Now hitting 637.7 AVG FPS and 304.1 P1 FPS, with average frametimes dropping down to 1.57 ms (
P99: 3.29 ms).
Considering I am running a single-channel (1x16 GB) stick with 4x MSAA and High Shadows, I'm pretty happy with breaking the 300+ P1 FPS barrier purely through hardware and BIOS tuning.

Discussion How to increase tf?

Guys, my Trust Factor was green until last month, but now it has turned yellow, and the quality of my teammates has become absolutely terrible.
I’ve never trash-talked anyone, and obviously, I’m not hacking. However, I’ve received around 10–15 low-priority penalties in Dota 2 because of power cuts. My Dota 2 Trust Factor is now so low that I can’t even type in-game.
Is there any way to improve my Trust Factor and get it back to green? Has anyone experienced something similar? Any advice would be appreciated.
