Is CS2 on a Minimum Spec PC Playable?

Imagine trying to benchmark under varied loads but being unable to do so because people keep picking Mirage. This truly is a Counter-Strike experience.

[@L0wSkiller]

​​@@EthicalAllelethink of it this way, when you die or lose games, mistakes were made 😊 if you have the luxury of recording your gameplay and watching it back you can find some big issues in your own gameplay. Just think: Did I die to positioning error, or mechanical error? Why was I in the area I was in/ would I have positioned myself like that again if I had the same info? Was I exposed to too many things? How could I have played with a teammate in that scenario? Did I die with utility on my belt? Even just asking "what did I do wrong there" can be huge. Even if you win rounds. Yes it won the round, but these players might be bad, would this have been a way to win a round against better players that have better aim? Edit: Jocko Willink has a good motivational speech about it. I think it's the "good" speach? Like you lose a game because of bad aim? Good. You have room to improve. You lose a game because of bad mental? Good. Take a deep breath, get back on the horse, you have room to improve. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it 😎

[@WhatWouldYouHaveYourArbiterDo]

While both of those GPUs are definitely well selected terrible cards, I suspect the initial stuttering that goes away you mentioned is more to do with CS2 building its shader cache for previously unrendered content. This is behaviour that I have observed across a range of low/medium to high end hardware from both the green and red teams across my friend group, especially after driver updates.

[@EthicalAllele]

Yup, same here. I always use DDU when installing new driver updates, and CS2 is very stuttery in the menus and in the first minute of a game right after a clean driver install. It happens for a bunch of other games too. (6800XT)

[@LPgmxDan]

​@@EthicalAllelemight wanna try the tool and has for doing it. With ddu it bugged unable to install new drivers until the AMD cleanup solved it

[@EthicalAllele]

​@@LPgmxDan I have never had any issues using DDU. I don't think the stuttering is even an issue because I'd imagine clean installing drivers would always clear the shader cache regardless of if I'm using AMD Cleanup Utility or DDU. I'll definitely try it for my next driver update, but I'm not expecting it to change anything 😅

[@Th3EpitapH]

4:25 super aliased, low res, and torn cs2 isn't a bad vibe honestly. the semi-photoreal clutter and texture detail with those effects and the saturated lighting make for a retro-adjacent look that i prefer to a lot of the retro 3d stuff that's been floating around the past few years

[@colonelblars9126]

It's below minimum spec and anything weaker than a 6500XT won't be competitive, as 3kliks concluded. The game might launch but performance won't be acceptable. This wasn't a "will it launch?" video, but a "how playable is minimum spec?" one and we've got our answer. If there are APUs roughly equivalent to the 6500XT then one of those would've been interesting but idk if they exist.

Hardware threads refers to hyperthreading - and that really does use CPU hardware to achieve parallelism within a single core Multithreading is a programming concept, where you use many threads (potentially hundreds) to achieve something. CS2 almost certainly uses many threads, but ideally your CPU has 4 hardware threads across two cores to dedicate to the more busy threads

[@dalmationblack]

thanks mr minecraft

[@vibaj16]

how does it achieve parallelism within a single core?

[@Minecraftrok999]

​@@vibaj16it's not "actual" parallelism, hyper threading basically means that you have 2 schedulers for that one CPU core taking advantage of any timeslots unallocated by the other scheduler. You won't have 2 tasks/processes running at the same time, but under the right circumstances you can run 20% more processes in the same time

[@pesho9971]

@@vibaj16 I think each core has an extra set of registers and instruction decoders(or execution units not sure) which allow more than one compute block to be used simultaneously. For example if a non hyper threaded core is currently doing an integer operation it cant use its FPU or other compute block until the integer operation is finished. But for a hyper-threaded core if the next instruction is a floating point type it can execute it in parallel with the integer one. In a way think of hyper-threading as a means for a better core utilization

[@Xilefian]

@@vibaj16 the idea is a core will have two schedulers processing two different instruction streams that use the same cache If one of the instruction streams stalls (accessing memory that is far away in cache or even RAM) then the other instructions stream can continue executing whilst the other is stalled There's some even lower level concepts, like when areas of the core go dark for one instruction stream the other can use it, so if one stream is doing a floating point calculation the other can do some integer math

Here's the specs: Intel core i7 4770 3.4 GHz RTX 3060 12gb 32gb ram 1666 MHz The game runs extremely bad at times, fps might drop down to 20, no matter what settings I choose. Its especially bad in deathmatch game mode, while in competitive fps swings around from 50 to130-150. 😅

Are you running on a SSD? Make sure both your OS and Games are on a SSD including your page files.

ok, just for the sake of it, I'm one of the people that did experience the stuttering as well as constant crashes and freezes ever since cs2 launched, never had that in csgo. So, I used to have a pretty decent gaming setup but ended up selling it a few years ago as I just wasn't really utilizing it anymore, I still played csgo from time to time however and ended up getting my very old setup brought to life for that specific reason, it's basically the remains of an old alienware r51 r1, it has an old i7 3770k, an IEM gtx 660 1.5gb vram, and 16 gb of ram (ddr3 cause motherboard doesn't support better) and 250gb ssd. I know it's pretty pathetic specs nowadays but for my use it was very respectable, I played csgo from time to time in the weekends on it and got about 160fps on average, it wasn't as good as my 500+fps rig previously but I didn't feel too hindered by it. When cs2 dropped I expected a downgrade in performance, and that's fine, however I can confidently say now that it's just not "playable", I get 70fps on average which is fine, all low settings except for fsr that is disabled cause I can't stand the blurriness it brings. But the game feels so off, there's definetly more delay than in csgo, it stutters or plumets to 30fps randomly, and the worst of it is it sometimes just hard crashes the pc altogether. And yes I get it, clearly I need to upgrade the pc to keep enjoying the game from time to time, I just thought I would share my experience and specs with you so maybe you can finally find those dreaded renowned stutters you're looking for, as for me, I guess I'll return to cs:s for the time being 😅

2:19 is the most important part of the video.

[@markhovscrch4050]

You know I am using RX 5700XT 8GB + 3200mhz of 4x8gb + R5 4600G somehow the CS2 Ultra settings hitting temp (repasted and cleaned) 82-84*c while on High settings was 78-82*c (stable mostly on 82*c). Adding before cleaning my GPU (oily and dusty board with melted cement of paste) ultra settings hits 87*c making my pc goes black screen and freeze everything. Shoutout to my uncle helping me removing the backplate while lecturing me about personal safety while walking travel.

[@Crossfirev]

3kliks, I have to say, I don't even play counter-strike anymore (or video games in general, unfortunately), but I still love your videos. So thanks!

[@davido5317]

To be fair "hardware threads" is incredibly terrible nomenclature if they really did mean "4 cores" and I understand the confusion. Hardware more than implies physical, its a synonym.

[@Humus404]

I instantly clicked on the notification as soon as it popped up

[@overguy12]

Why does your cat look so depressed? I want to give it a hug :(( Always love your videos 3kliksphilip!

This has basically been my experience with CS and CS2 for the past 6 years of playing. Getting a playable frame rate isn't the tricky part I found, actually seeing the enemy is the tricky part. On absolute minimum settings the game is so grainy I couldn't see people on Dust 2 from Catwalk to the back of Lower Tunnels, and god forbid someone was holding a tight angle where you can only see their half their torso. I would lose 70%~ of engagements I came into. I couldn't run my browser and CS at the same time and the stutters you mention would happen well into the first minute of the game. Since getting a PC that can run CS at 140fps on max settings in the past 2 months, I'm now WINNING 70%~ of my engagements. Turns out I'm not shit at the game, I literally just couldn't see who I was supposed to be shooting at and I'm slowly climbing ranks way past my 6 year peak. Upgrading from an integrated graphics card and an i5 (I think) to a 1660 and a Ryzen 5 has been literally life changing for all aspects of my university and gaming experiences. It's let me completely rediscover the enjoyment I get from playing and making games.

10:16 the high notes always make me cry

[@syedrehanfida]

I like your cat, also your videos! I haven't even tried installing CS2, since csgo was hard to run. My laptop specs: i3 4030U 4gb ram 2gb nvidia 820m

[@ikt32]

God dang, minimum spec looks great actually.

[@moriopl6176]

Your cat was the MVP of the vid

[@MarchKatze]

attention to detail is great as always!

[@JuanGonzalez-hv6vs]

Dude, I love your 300 Antec case.

[@noaimnoshame2371]

I remember 15-50 years ago we had a lan network in our apartment complex, and we always played cs, and back then smoke was an absolute fps killer, now in cs go its almost the same for my 1070
