If you have a moment to answer a question I'd appreciate it.

I have an i9-9900k (OC'd to 5.0Ghz) and an RTX 3080, however I am not consistently getting over 280fps in comp games in 1920x1080p (to take advantage of my 280hz monitor) even when all other applications are closed and graphics quality at varying levels. In a custom lobby all alone I have seen my fps spike as high as 700 and not touch below 400.

I have been tearing my hair out trying to optimize to even get 280fps 80% of my in-game time.

My question for you is, should I be? Do you think with my setup its feasible to get 280fps in a competitive match 90+% of the time? Or should I just be patient for optimization updates?

We don't have a ton of data on this specific setup since it's so high end. I'm seeing an average framerate of about 256FPS in the data. So maintaining 280 is going to be tricky. OCing could maybe get you there but you'd have to maintain that clock rate rock steady with no dips due to thermals.

Honestly this is the first I've heard of the 280hz monitor. That's pretty neat. I'd heard of the new 360hz coming out and the 240hz but never seen the 280hz.

In terms of our optimization goals, we do hope to make better use of multi-core systems in the future. This patch did include a small optimization in that direction. We hope to have another small one available in a few months. Then start hitting the big hitters once we've found our stride. This isn't something that's going to be fixed overnight or even the next couple of patches but we're making steady progress. The number one priority here will be keeping the game stable from a perf/bug perspective as we...

Hey, this is a bit off topic but, do you have any plans on adding any servers in the Balkans? Bulgaria, Serbia, or Greece even?

No, and I doubt we ever will. We don't want to add too many servers, as it splits the matchmaking population up too much.

Whats the status on African servers? possibly somewhere around Central Africa? I've heard rumors of SA but it is still pretty far from Ethiopia where I'm from.

Sorry, no plans for Central or Southern Africa at this time

That's South Asia, not South Africa

You already know about our latest map, Icebox. You’ve even stuck your head in the freezer to run scrims. Hopefully, you’ll be happy to learn we’ve weighed Unrated queue to favor getting Icebox (at least for the first part of this patch).

Competitive folks, you’ll have to hold on for at least two weeks before you can earn rank on Icebox. But right off the bat,...

Do you have any update on indian servers? or a rumor on south asia being part of middle east region? The south asian gamers are really tired of hype and want to have some real update that we can depend upon.

Mumbai be online with the start of Act 3 in Asia Pacific. India will stay in the Asia Pacific shard.

Edit: to add shard detail Edit 2: specify Mumbai servers.

Bad routing.

Yeah, just because it's closer physically won't always mean you get a better ping there. I would assume that a lot of internet in South Africa routes up the West coast of Africa: https://www.submarinecablemap.com/

I hope we put game servers in South Africa one day, we know there are players there, but we have no plans to right now.
