      Modern ones will. The gpu requirement is basically says any gpu from 2011 and newer (2011 was gcn 1.0 and kepler) with Vulkan support.

      For windows, vulkan is supported by skylake(6th gen) and newer, for linux, vulkan is supported all the way back to Ivy Bridge, but the experience playing CSGO would probably be terrible.

        One thing to note for linux and GCN GPUs, is that older GCN based cards doesn’t use AMDGPU driver out of the box, so vulkan won’t work initially. You need a kernel parameter to enable amdgpu for older GCN (at least I’ve had to do that with arch linux). But when it is enabled it works great in my experience. You will get a warning in the console that the support for that GPU is experimental though.

        Also vulkan support for Ivy Bridge is not complete and is experimental. It is unfortunately not possible to use DXVK on ivy bridge due to this.

        Finally a game my gtx 980ti can officially run! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that , but it still runs most stuff just fine. Quite a little trooper, that card 🙂

    Game’s audio was borked for me, needed -sdlaudiodriver pipewire as an argument.

    Even then particle effects weren’t displaying correctly, if at all. I dual booted back into Windows because i found it unplayable.

    Edit: Sep 28 Evening update fixed gfx issues

      Try running the Windows version through Proton instead. You can do that by forcing a Proton version, and it will download the Windows version.

      This worked extremely well for me with an 8x performance boost in Bioshock Infinite because their Linux build runs on an old version of OpenGL and old libs, while proton translates DX11 into Vulkan.

    So basically nobody meets these requirements, right? Practically no one has a sound card, and even the storage requirement is pretty steep. The Steam deck for example only has 64 total, and if you have one of the more expensive ones with more space, what are the chances that you still have 85GB free? My games drive on my very high end PC currently has less, and I also don’t have a PCI sound card.

      85GB is actually shockingly huge for Counter-Strike considering CS:GO was like 16GB. For comparison, Doom Eternal is 80GB, Cyberpunk is 70, and Elden Ring and Armored Core VI are both 60.

      The sound card’s just recommended though so whatever.

        Another thing that makes it a bad decision/situation is that CS is one of those games that players want to keep installed. It’s not a single player story where you finish it, then you free that space back up for the next game. And it’s also not a MS Flight Sim or The Sims where it’s the only game you play every day. CS you come back to regularly, but never value that strongly. It should load quick and be free to keep installed.

      Yeah, it’s insane to suggest a sound card instead of spending the time to fix it or just not release the Linux version.
