Secret CS2 developer Ropz reveals the BEST settings! - The Setup

[@Chazistired]

It's actually super cool to be living in a timeline where this crazy smart player just casually drops his entire setup and config where most people after doing so much testing would make you pay hundreds in other lines of work lmfao, this is crazy great stuff $ Also on a note about him mentioning someone else's settings being left while in the resolution tab I saw 16:10 1680x1050 which I remember Elige plays or played on that res...Would be interesting to see if he'd be willing to show his setup because I'd consider him at ropz tier smarts and work ethic!

[@fxckrio]

funny youd say that lmao

[@walther89]

most crazy setup are already done by valve and you are able to tweak it around, in early CS times maybe it was rare. Dose settings really didnt still are not make you better player, just practice...thats it. I play all default max reso :D

[@Frog-2001]

bruh but like he has the worst posture tho. idk if can continue till 30 years old

[@RL-cq9qd]

@@Frog-2001 his posture while playing is not even that bad. He focuses on keeping his back straight but tilting it a bit forward to be closer to the monitor

[@sh1nenkai258]

@@RL-cq9qd its not bad compared to a yekindar or something but its still bad cause his neck is like leaned in and gonna cause headaches

[@Frog-2001]

@@RL-cq9qd yeah that's the issue the tilt. From personal experience if my back is neutral and my neck isnt supported it gives me discomfort. Also his mouse grip and his monitor positioning. BRO I KNOW ITS A PERSONAL THING OF COURSE I AM JUST SAYING THAT POSTURE ISNT VERY GOOD FOR THE LONG TERM

[@gvdude]

What he's saying is "be a cs streamer with some skill" then suck the cock of valve and the esport orgs so they'll pay them. It's a sick system. Skin buyers are cucks.

Do a video asking pros for their callouts on disputed parts of maps like behind B site on overpass or firebox in mirage

[@kingtastytv]

This is such a good idea. Find the highest % common callouts among pros and release it as the be-all end-all bible for callouts. The amount of times a video like that would be shared among friend groups and 5 stacks could make it their most viewed guide video.

Enabled + Boost for Reflex locks the GPU clocks to full even when the GPU workload is lower. This uses more power but ensures your GPU never tries to decrease clocks to save power. The “+ Boost” is the same as the “Prefer Max Performance” in the NVIDIA control panel.

ropz you are a nice guy bro and an absolute gamer

[@Sam-zw2kp]

Why do so many pros have no clue what the settings do? Dude wants to disable antialiasing via the NVIDIA control panel but turns it on in-game. He also says that anisotropic filtering changes the quality of skins, which is also untrue. Texture resolution changes the quality of the skins.

[@kiiturii]

well at least he doesn't turn dyac+ off because "it causes lag" like m0nesy

[@jjj_cs]

bro U are the one u thinks he knows all of the settings lmao. anisotropic filtering actually increases or decreases, depending on ur settings, the quality of the skins, cause its an filtering mode to enhance the quality of the 3D model or image. next time maybe use google before comment some bullshit. there are sometimes some true things xddddd. maybe that is also a big difference between him and u and why he is a pro and u are not xdddd. he does know what he's doing and ur acting like one who wants to know what u doing

[@jjj_cs]

@@kiiturii yeah maybe because everyone has a different visual perception?!?!? I also turn it off. zowie and also some reviewers said, that it can be causing headache for some people, cause of the differences in perception. besides this has a bigger amount of the pros dyac disabled, which underlines my sentence before. both of u guys are just wannabes and ur comments are proving, why they are pros and u are not.

[@Sam-zw2kp]

@@jjj_cs then explain to me why some of them say themselves that they don't know what the settings do? Or the fact that some of them use different settings but both claiming it's the better option

[@Sam-zw2kp]

@@jjj_cs yes, anisotropic filtering is texture filtering. Maybe now google what texture filtering is. It changes the quality of textures at a distance that are at an angle, like ground textures.

No need to add -insecure anymore btw!

[@kRazyyyyyyy]

just to clear some stuff up - anisotropic filtering has nothing to do with skins looking better - it is just a sharpness setting for textures. shaders is the one which does make ur skins look good or ugly. idk why maschine acts like he doesn't know anything. i mean all these settings are nothing new to a pc player who watched in any options menu at least once, lol.

@@AEAN_7 what is your cpu then?

[@devpct]

Perfect

[@Bob1332s]

What I'm confused about is that I'm pretty sure he has a setup that can easily already do over 360+ fps which is his monitor's refresh rate on max settings, so why does he still bother with trying to boost his fps even more by lowering settings? Does it give an advantage?

[@Bra4len]

Yes, there is less input delay. I’m pretty sure even if you’re getting 300 plus fps on max settings, there is still going to be a high amount of delay compared to lower settings.

[@the1abstrakt]

It’s also habit. Some players prefer less decals clutter etc, it feels normaller when you come. From the older CS it makes sense

[@reyminder]

100%, If you put HDR on performance and sit inside of a smoke you can see the separation of colors trying to make grey (looks like an old school crt), where Quality has a much cleaner and smoother image
