No overclock? no fun.

How well would these Pentiums run CS:GO ?

Obviously I'm asking because CS:GO isn't very good at running multicore and my friend wants to play it on low budget. Thanks in advance.

This one could perform about 10% better so it should be close to R2200G at stock in minimums I'd say check prices of all 3 models and see how you feel the benefits stack up against the extra cost with your budget.

If the R2200G isn't much more and the motherboards are about the same I'd definitely consider that as the go to option for better performance in more modern games thanks to the full 4 cores, overclockability & future upgradability.

Ryzen have a decent GPU, though. So I would say it all depends on the GPU side, because people buying these use it.

Not too well, CS:GO can occasionally choke on 4 actual cores nowdays due to more resource intensive sounds (HRTF) and hitbubbles.

I'd probably seek a i7-8700 for just CS:GO. It can suck up to 90% CPU usage even with an overclocked 8700k, but that happens at quite high framerates.

Oh and I consider most CS:GO benchmarks flawed since they use a workshop map - actual 128tick servers are more demanding, especially when teams stack nades etc.

So what? If I've understood your posts correctly, it is then basically better to run a dual core with CS:GO? :huh:

No, absolutely not. 4 cores used to be the way to go for CS for the longest time but nowadays you probably want 6.
But there's an alternative to classic fps_max 300 and trying to stay there tactic in CS - using free/g-sync and capping to slightly under monitor's refresh rate. In that case even Ryzen should work fine, with decent memory.

He's saying that the additional CS GO features put a higher strain on the CPU now.
