CS2 lower Input Lag - Reduce Input Latency by these settings | Counter Strike 2 | 카스2 인풋렉

0:00 Things to consider for lowering input lag
2:08 Video Options
Check for FPS, GPU utilization and CPU temperature
Hardware
Highest Frame Rate - Lowest Lag (though high heat and noise)
100% GPU Usage - More Lag (GPU busy)
less than 100% GPU Usage - Less Lag (ideal)
(better to keep GPU Usage below 95% or so for headroom)
Software FPS limiter (increases lag by reducing FPS)
In-game FPS limiter - More Lag (broken), reduced 1% FPS (fluctuation)
RTSS FPS limiter - More Lag
nVidia FPS limiter - More Lag
Radeon Chill - More Lag
Radeon FRC - (a lot) More Lag
V-Sync - (a lot) More Lag
Driver
Anti-lag(+) - More Lag
Reflect - (negligible) More or Less Lag (depends on the game)
Throttling GPU by clock or power level - GPU usage increases
Then, throttle CPU
1. launch option "-threads [number]"
2. power limit
3. thermal limit (from BIOS, PBO or thermal throttling)
1 is not fully utilizing all the cores for high FPS
2 hard to measure power level (core? combined? PPT? etc)
3 is relatively easy to configure in bios (limit core clock though)
I tried here 63 deg to see GPU usage, I would lower further eg. 60 degrees or so
Depending on one's hardware, environment and setting, different number will apply, so try to maintain GPU usage 80-90%, 1 & 3 can be combined to use as well as in-game max_fps for low 1% FPS increase. (it still uses more GPU time to time for smokes and molly or many players, get some headroom)
Tried 1440x1080 4:3 (stretched) 330 Hz, crosshair on monitor,
Launch option -nojoy
Recorded 120fps AV1 using the same GPU
7800X3D (FCLK 2200MHz, SMT off, CO -30 to -45 per core)
8000MHz RAM (36-45-45-48-45-480, PDM off, GDM on)
VDD = 1.45V, VDDQ = VDDIO = 1.34V
RX 7900 XT (stock)
P.S. Setting for high FPS - Upgrade HW :)
P.P.S RAM OC keeps 1% low FPS high (tighten 1st, 2nd & 3rd timings !!!)
P.P.P.S Limiting GPU core clock, so that overall GPU power consumption is 60-75%, is sweet spot for heat, noise and performance. Companies overclock too much to win competition :(
my 7900xt for cs2 (used free Unigine Heaven DX11) is
[Core clock: doesn't matter much, no limit, I set 2650-3000MHz]
[Vram: 2650MHz, no fast timing] (RDNA2 cards had best score when +120MHz or so VRAM about 6%+ eg. RX6800XT)
[Fan: max 40%] (considering noise)
[Power: +10%]

best oc/uv settings for rx 7900xt? i have the same card but my model is the XFX MERC310, i am using VSR 3k downsampled to 1440p for better AA, i need high fps but not more than 300w of usage, can u help me?

[@PokeStoryHarry]

Though, 7900xt sweet spot is around 200-260w for heat/noise and fps - you can limit your core frequency to get around any power level (alt+R and adrenalin overlay to tune when u r playing) lowest input lag is highest fps, and best fps is undervolting as much as possible and maximum power limit

[@PokeStoryHarry]

Every system is different, so prob the best way to find is Check ur game which API is used (DX11 or DX12 etc) Run benchmark tool depending on the API (3DMark or Unigine etc) Change config (Core clock, vram, fan, power etc) and run again Mark the score (noise, temperature) and find the best my 7900xt for cs2 (used free Unigine Heaven DX11) is [Core clock: doesn't matter much, no limit, I set 2650-3000MHz] [Vram: 2650MHz, no fast timing] (RDNA2 cards had best score when +120MHz or so VRAM about 6%+ eg. RX6800XT) [Fan: max 40%] (considering noise) [Power: +10%]
