Dynamic Shadows : All, Shadow quality low is what I use as optimized. Only Sun shadows won't give the biggest advantage CS2 has (seeing enemy shadow before the enemy). Before the dynamic shadows option was implemented the I used High, as lower setting cut off dynamic shadows from distance. Ofc higher shadow quality makes the Dynamic Shadows crisper and maybe a tad bit easier to spot so go for it if you have GPU power. MSAA helps spotting enemies for example thru catwalks (Vertigo B, so much easier to spot CT as T with MSAA. But yes it is kinda heavy but it doesn't really render game with bigger resolution, that would be SSAA. MSAA takes samples of that pixel (2x = 2 samples, 4x = 4 samples etc) and uses them as information to smooth out the jaggies. I have this mental image about it that you have a box (pixel) and MSAA x4 takes sample from every corner xD there are nice videos about it :)

[@bw3446]

If at all, this setting is meant to be applied on a per-application basis, not in the general section, so in this case, specifically for CS2.exe. No point in having normal desktop stuff outside of gaming run on max power settings.

[@Augenhose]

In fact, if I run MSAA 4x with medium settings, my GPU usage is only around 50% on average. Which despite giving higher average FPS, also gives worse 1% lows. And the 1% lows is what matters the most in terms of smoothness and refreshrate compliance. If I run MSAA 8x with Medium settings, my GPU usage is on average around 86%. This gives slighty lower average FPS, but higher 1% lows s.t. I can stay more reliable above my monitor refreshrate. Results MSAA 4x vs MSAA 8x on my system i9-13900K + RTX 4080 with Windows 11 optimized + E-Cores Off and DDR5 RAM optimised subtimings. Dust 2 Benchmark Map. MSAA 4x + Medium presets GPU usage: min = 28% | avg = 46% | max = 62% - Avg FPS = 626 - 1% low FPS = 202 - 0.1 low FPS = 136 MSAA 8x + Medium presets - GPU usage: min = 66% | avg = 86% | max = 97% - Avg FPS = 568 - 1% low FPS = 224 - 0.1 low FPS = 158 Thus, on RTX 4080 I achieve a better GPU usage with MSAA 8x, which leads to lower GPU Busy Deviation and better Frametime consistency compared to MSAA 4x. You really want a GPU usage that isn't too low but also not 100%. So around 80-90% on average is fine, while never reaching 100% at max. It is all about minimising that GPU Busy Deviation. You can use CapeframeX to get this metric in a benchmark. Also, a good GPU usage will reduce the strain on your CPU usage, which is very good in a CPU bound game like CS2. Since it will give you more headroom + better fps lows. In conclusion, you should depending on your GPU model, find the graphics settings that give you appropriately high GPU usage and higher 0.1% & 1% lows. With a RTX 4080 that is MSAA 8x. However, with a RTX 4060 that might be MSAA 4x. It really does depend. The video is factually oversimplified and partly wrong.

[@antonchernyavsky]

What res u use?

[@Augenhose]

@antonchernyavsky 1920x1080, but this doesn't matter, the logic holds true even on 1280x960, because graphics settings are WAY WAY more influential than resolution on a RTX 4080

[@n33t85]

@@Augenhoseso I have rtx 4080 super and amd 7 9800x3d u think I should stick with MSAA 8x?

[@Augenhose]

@n33t85 Either MSAA 8x + Low to Medium, or MSAA 4x with all on High. You don't want to put MSAA 8x all on high, because the 9800x3D is a far better CPU than my i9-13900K, so that you can push it more with slightly lower graphics settings. Cause if you use MSAA 8x + All on High you will only utilise your GPU.

[@Sp3z]

Bilinear texture filtering gives you competitive disadvantage. Many translucent surfaces are much more transparent at higher settings. For example, on B on Vertigo when looking down through the ledges towards stairs. You will maybe lose 10fps if you go 16x but 8x or even 4x is WAAYY better than bi or trilinear.

[@tatar1061]

real reason of 4:3 resolution is lower fov and that gets you the feeling and "wider" models. so there is a good way to do so while maintaining good image quality via stretching resolution but adding number of pixels to Y instead of decreasing number of X pixels. (1920 x 1080+ instead of 1920- x 1080) changed to 1920x1440 from 1440x1080 and clarity improved 99 times

Sir, fyi u gotta keep Y pixels same and decrease X pixels, if u are on a 1920x1080 monitor and set the rez to 1920x1440 u are supersampling which is a dumb thing for optimization.. BUT if you are on a 2560x1440 monitor, 1920x1440 would be perfect. I personally play 16:10 stretched on a 16:9 2K monitor and my rez for that is 2304x1440.

Fps max in console 0, then cap it using RivaTuner to something your computer is able to render in terms of fps. I mean if your average fps is 300 set it to 270. Dont use Nvidia driver or in game fps limit because it doesn't work well. There are some videos and posts about it.

Nice vid, good explanations. Curious about HDR setting, have you've done any tests on it?

Also rate 1000000 - it's ~ 8Mbps - does it even matter? Online games like CS use only few KB of bandwidth in client-server communication

in theory HDR setting should give you a wider color range, in practice i didnt notice any difference, but i have a TN panel, maybe with OLEDs the situation is different. And about rate what you`re describing might be true but you never know because the amount of data transfered isn`t constant, so it`s hard to tell but wouldn`t hurt to max it out anyway

I own a VG27VQ monitor and can not tell the difference from gpu to display scaling. Any advice?

[@LightningFast99]

I mean if its no different then you can play whatever bro

[@astrobackwards]

Display should be better, most asus VG models use the same scaler

А как самому понять выбрать видеокарту или дисплей для скейлинга, для своего монитора?

[@sabo2075]

so if i play native i should use reflex

[@albinw7259]

Nvidia reflex on+boosts feels weird because it gives mouse input delay for some reason. Probably very poorly implemented in cs2

[@labaland]

Thanks! What about gsync? On or Off ? :)

[@murderspree]

Off for cs2

[@astrobackwards]

G sync adds input lag, turn it off for cs2

[@labaland]

@@astrobackwards Okey! Thanks 👍
