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 :)

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.

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.

[@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.

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

[@astrobackwards]

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 will admit the experience is very much a one off thing I noticed and I don't have any good explanation why this setting caused such an immediate improvement but that was what I experienced.

[@MakeSh00t]

nvidia reflex reduces latency to the minimum no matter what settings you have, your latency is low on max settings 2k resolution average is 5.0 msec on low settings 1400x1080 average 4msec... Input lag input latency mouse keyboard to system Higher CPU FPS and GPU FPS helps to reduce latency now is monitor if it reduces input lag.. Example some monitors dyac on example is 3.1msec input lag, Oled monitor input lag is 0.1msec. Mouse latency click is 1msec at 8000hz Keyboard input latency is from 4msec to 15msec depends how much key u press in same time. So average pc latency to game is around 6 to 20msec, New oled 480hz asus one at full hd reduces input latency for 9msec vs 540hz TN panel.. Example TN 540hz is 19msec all together latency, while oled 11msec 480hz Normal if u have fastest gpu and cpu on the planet..

@@Scratata228 why?

[@simp00hnumberwang]

rate 1000000 is a mandatory. All those complainers of having kill delays are mainly because of default rate 786432.

G-sync off also in monitor settings ?

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

Ok, One thing I notice basically every time I see one of these videos is the creator is almost always recommending making changing to global settings in the nVidia control panel... I imagine most people are like me and use their PC for things other than CS, so I've thought customizing global settings may actually not be the best. Instead, I've stuck with customizing 3D Settings in the 'Program Settings' tab and adding CS2 as the program to customize. If I am wrong and it doesn't work the same let me know, but if so, you have to assume people won't think of stuff like this and will work/do anything else on their computer with their settings turned to performance at all times... The other thing I wonder, I use multiple displays for work but I tend to turn off the other displays in the nVidia control panel when I am going to play CS in a competitive setting like FaceIT. I don't know if this has any benefit but I just do it for the sake of not having to worry about it since valve can't even make a game that scales both displays correctly without having the second one set to the left side only (seriously valve my screen is to my right can we pls fix?)... I am curious to know if anyone has tested how playing with a second display affects performance. It may be neglegable but it would be nice to test. When I have tried it my gut says the game performs worse but it could just be a bias. Thanks for the video, @Astro

1. I see what you mean but it doesn`t matter much because its not like these settings will kill your GPU faster or anything so it`s completely safe 2. You`re doing the right thing windows as well as CS2 doesn`t work very well with multiple displays and also adds noticeable input lag

[@VicariousX]

@@astrobackwards Thoughts on each option for "Multi-Display / Mixed-GPU Acceleration" in Nvidia profile inspector?

[@Monolize]

do you really overclock modern systems? honestly makes not so much sense in the current development, or does it?

[@astrobackwards]

it depends on the configuration, in most cases RAM OC helps a lot

[@Monolize]

@@astrobackwards yeah, well. thats just configuring in todays standards :D i wouldnt really consider this as OC (even thou it technically is) it way more interesting seeing latency improvements by deactivating HT and such.

[@collins5647]

for alienware aw2523hf 360hz: display or gpu scaling? also, i set rate 1000000 and in game settings it shows extremely restricted

[@VicariousX]

That's just a display bug because there isn't an ingame menu option for it. If you type status in console while in any online server it should show every player's rate including your own.

[@KAiiZERTOP]

Yeah it's a bug turn this into unlimited don't worry about that

[@VicariousX]

@@KAiiZERTOP IIRC changing it to unlimited will reset your rate to 786432. Leave it as is.

Samsung Odyssey G4 240hz + RX6900XT = GPU Scaling or Display? tia

[@nicehvh9290]

No improvment in fps meanwhile my rtx 4070ti and amd ryzen 7 7800X3D 300-400 fps on 16:9 and 700-800 on 4:3.

for what i see on the video, mostly all the models ending with K in the name are best on GPU but i dont really know

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

[@scottmicacchi6284]

what about pg27aqn 360hz monitor what should i use for scaling??

[@RinTohsaka2023]

you sure? GPU scaling? you know that if you pick GPU scale there is more visual delay on the screen compared to display scaling

[@jeffyjefferyjeff2848]

it depends, if your display has a really good scalar implementation this is true. but on most modern GPUs, display scaling is actually slower.

[@Fernando-nj1pg]

i played pro 1.6 scene and now cs2 i can tell u gpu is best for movement peeks etc display can feel more responsive but it doesnt matter really
