NiKo shows ALL of his CS2 SETTINGS! - The Setup

[@bobby_au]

Spunj does so well with this. So confident and just freestyle with the right questions. This is how setting videos need to be done. Setting the standard.

[@howyoudoin7354]

Yeah, totally. It also helps with his experience as a former cs pro where he asked specifics like the map zoom binds.

[@THEPINEVLOGS]

It’s absurdly underestimated importance of asking the right question for any panel host/interviewer. This guy’s by far the most competent and fit for the job person I’ve ever come across cs media personnel.

[@kennaee]

tl;dr just try them and see what you like the best. GPU scaling makes the graphics card to scale your non-native res to native by software and most of the time it just looks better since the software on GPUs is so far ahead of what monitors have in-built with them.

@@thomasshelby5454 different people enjoy different things. By limiting what people can choose you actively make them less attracted to your product. There is a whole theory about customer introduced variability, but in the case of CS2, where the changes can be done with 2 mouse clicks - they should add as much customisation as possible. Placebo effect or not, people just enjoy it.

If you have raw input turned on in CS2, then Enhance Pointer Precision doesn't affect your sensitivity in game. That setting only matters if you have raw input turned off. This applies to any modern game that has raw input enabled, like Valorant, Apex, Overwatch, etc.

[@nyutek]

Yeah i think 6 is default

[@lcplPoop]

It has to do with the 6 being 1 to 1 mouse DPI. I think Windows 11 may have finally fixed this but I don't remember. So if you have Windows higher or lower, you're adding more calculation to your sens. 800dpi *
