CS2 Optimization Guide (2025)

[@abake9689]

I have a tip aswell, if you have a better gpu than your cpu for example i have a gtx 1070ti with an i5 6600k but i have bottlenecking from the cpu, putting msaa on 8x makes the game get more fps interestingly, putting more stress on the gpu makes me get mroe fps so i also reccomend try to make your gpu work more than your cpu since cs2 is cpu intensive. Also enabling nvidia reflex + boost spesificaly is good aswell if there is a cpu bottleneck

In my opinion almost all graphics settings should be turned off/low if u have a really bad pc but anyway W video man

@Glly First of thanks , and second I already tested it and performance was in my case worse and the visuals were also worse .

@@BalkanTactiCS Same here, in csgo i had everything low, to maximize how smooth the game ran, so i transfered similar settings to cs2, and i found out that my gpu was not working as much as it should, so i turned the CPU type settings un low, and GPU type settings (textures, shadows) high, and the game ran much better. Also i trierd g-sync/v-sync reflex boost, while yes the game ran smooth ( FPS ) it felt so ass to aim. Latnency is bad with my setup with any of those settings i can feel it. So for me what made it playable, was disabling any sync or fps cap, and making the gpu do most of the work. Ryzen 5 3600 / RTX 3060

I noticed you had vsync on ingame but not in the nvidia control panel, is that correct?

[@BalkanTactiCS]

@@justwaiting2012 after reviweving the video i can confirm you are right even tho it should have been turned on , i retested it and had a beter visual feeling but not a lot of performance gain , just a tad bit lower cpu usage
