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 :)
I stg nvidia reflex causes a lot of my shots to become ghost bullets in every game I've tried it in, not just CS. For CS though, I've found the best option to be not only disabling it but also using both -noreflex and -noantilag as launch options. I wish I could remember why so I could leave an explanation for everyone but idr :/ Something about reflex adding some sort of tag to each frame or something along those lines?
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 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 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.
tried turning on max performance in nvidia control panel, idle desktop gpu usage went from 10W to 35W compared to default (4070s gpu), ingame clockspeeds/stability didnt change
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.
Two things. I thought you needed 4x msaa to see through the catwalk grates on vert b site? Is that not true anymore? Also, does the rate command work? I thought that was taken out.
Hello, i have RTX 3080 and my smokes are grainy, pixeleted no matter what setting i use. I have updated everything, did DDU install still same problem! I have not noticed that problem before they updated smokes. Maybe there is some fix and you know it? Thank you
what about nvidia image sharpening (enable option from regedit) is it good? also i've heard rtx dynamic vibrance is good for competitive games is it? also u didnt talk about putting low latency mode in ultra which defeats the whole purpose of this video imo very important setting
Whenever I play on 4:3 I have microstutters/jitter/tearing when moving the mouse around. It's just not smooth. 5800X3D, RTX 4070ti Super etc. Almost high end PC. Can you identify the issue? I would pay whatever you ask just to have a smooth gameplay. EDIT: My mouse feels like it's in mud. It's not smooth or consistent at all.
Maybe try custom resolution utility. Theres guides around and it usually fixes most issues for 4:3 resolutions and stretched res around display scaling and input delay.
What should the ingame fps max limit set to if I have a 240hz monitor? Should it also be capped at the nvidia driver too? There is so much confusing info on this topic. Fps max 0, 999, 60 above your monitor refresh rate, etc. Thank you !
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.
Where do I find out about the scaler my monitor has? I have an Asus PG279Q (yes, the one from 2015) and cant find it anywhere. Just curious if I should switch to display scaling or stay with gpu scaling.
Talking about the scaling options , what if use just a lower resolution than native but still 16:9 and not stretched ? I’m using a 2k oled but for csgo I use it in 1080p , should i leave aspect ratio or put full screen ?
Is it not a bad thing that when you switch to rate 1,000,000 from 786432 it changes the bandwidth to extremely restricted? I run mine on 786432 because it allows me to keep bandwidth on unrestricted without changing.
Great video men. u know some fix for stuttering ?? my games seems to stutter everytime someones joins or at the end of the round when the last alive dies.
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. This vid is about latency and fps not about quality ;)
@@p0is0n10yes you are right, if u are on a low end and can't afford 25% more pixels but a lot better clarity then you don't need to use it. me myself and all "pro" gamers shouldn't have this problem
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.
why i need put maximum performance in global settings, like if user sometimes just scroll browser. maybe i need to put in on max perf. in programm settings for cs2 or other else game?
with nvidea u can see average system latency , whats the latency ppl have with an optimised settings + good pc? mine is around 12-15 ms , but I have a shit gpu. Im gonna upgrade soon , would be nice to have a reference point.
At the end of the day the only thing that's going to help you is upgrading your CPU since cs2 is a CPU heavy game. And it doesn't really matter what your settings are if your monitor can't keep up. I played an entire month with gsync vsync enabled and couldn't tell the difference between 144fps and 400fps on a 144hz monitor. People always use excuses were they can find them just so they have excuses for playing badly. CS community is also known for playing into placebos.
Can you explain why you put Texture Filtering Mode to bilinear and not X16 since I thing It has no impact on the performance? and thank you for the great video

Hello, I have huge problems with my input lag, it especially feels on faceit. I have a RYZEN 9 5950 x (16 cores, 32 threads) and a RTX 3060 gpu bounded with 32 gb of ram and 1 tb SSD m2. I tried to put everything on low and i got almost there to lose input lags but on maps like inferno or ancient my input lag really kills my gameplay cuz sometimes i miss easy shots because of it. I don't consider my pc weak at that level to feel such input lags so do u think that I really lack some optimisations? I tried every single tutorial on youtube, everything and still experiencing a lot of problems with it.
@@maxzett It's really an input lag, i also have huge fps variations from 220-500 and it seems once it lowers than 300 fps that i have those annoying input lags. U think that i should upgrade my GPU?
Nice vid, good explanations. Curious about HDR setting, have you've done any tests on it? I have OLED monitor, so I'm using it and it seems there is no significant performance hit, but would be nice to hear from you if there is some data to confirm 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 know you said to use the max rate available but given that the packet loss is insane when its not limited (3mbps for me) after the armory update, would you still suggest using max rate?
i choose display scaling on my xl2546 , the game becomes blackbars on 1280x960, i have fullscreen selected in Nvidia but chose display over gpu as you said the xl2546 is better with display scaling rather than gpu, how do i fix this?
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.
@@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.
I disagree with the power plan. It should always be set to "Normal." It doesn't positively affect performance in any way, and it may unnecessarily increase energy consumption and temperature.
@@geekBengal @geekBengal I sadly don't have that exact same rig anymore so i couldn't do any good testing on it to verify but I am using the same aio and it still runs like a dream, ~47 degrees at idle and around 80 under load. I will say that I did notice my old rig very quickly stopped overheating when I changed power plan from high performance to normal... more specifically I seemed to notice an improvement when decreasing minumum processor state off of 100% to something lower. 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. It could very well have been an unrelated bug or issue at the time (~2021 when I was having that issue) 5900x cpu and nzxt z73 was what I was using
@@astrobackwards yeah i noticed too from testing, also what can i do if im cpu bottlenecked? i have ryzen 5 5600g and i reach avg 200 but it feels bad..:
The rate is just a cap and as long as you're not hitting it (which in a regular 5v5 match you're not even close to) there's literally no difference between 786432 and 1000000 it's pretty much equivalent to having fps_max 800 vs 1000.

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.

Great video, thanks
Override the scaling mode set by games and programs checked or not ? :)
yes u need to check it
xl2566x+
display or gpu?
not enough data on it sadly, u should test both options yourself and see what feels better
Nice vid, good explanations.
Curious about HDR setting, have you've done any tests on it?
I have OLED monitor, so I'm using it and it seems there is no significant performance hit, but would be nice to hear from you if there is some data to confirm 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
I guess even developers dont know...
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
Thank you great video, getting a new pc next week so can’t wait for the windows optimisation guide, will that be soon?
I own a VG27VQ monitor and can not tell the difference from gpu to display scaling. Any advice?
I mean if its no different then you can play whatever bro
Display should be better, most asus VG models use the same scaler
Yo I have rtx 4070 super 12 GB with Ryzen 7 5700x with low settings 2x msaa I have 270-410 fps can I get bigger fps?
Yes get better cpu
What about power options?
Nvidia reflex on+boosts feels weird because it gives mouse input delay for some reason. Probably very poorly implemented in cs2
Samsung Odyssey G4 240hz + RX6900XT = GPU Scaling or Display? tia
when you play on 4:3 stretched the game moves faster and the game was designed on 4:3 so when u play native the game is slower than intended
CSGO -> CS2 was not designed on 4:3 lol. You're refering to facts that date back to 1.6
Астро, а будет ли обновлённое видео всё тоже про настройку кс для рус аудитории?
asap i choose display scaling on my xl2546 , the game become blackbars on 1280x960 . how can i fix it
Choose full screen in the scaler options? Right above GPU/Screen scaling.

@@basvhout its on fullscreen brother
@@astrobackwards thx a lot
I know you said to use the max rate available but given that the packet loss is insane when its not limited (3mbps for me) after the armory update, would you still suggest using max rate?
Samsung Odyssey G4 gpu or display?
i choose display scaling on my xl2546 , the game becomes blackbars on 1280x960, i have fullscreen selected in Nvidia but chose display over gpu as you said the xl2546 is better with display scaling rather than gpu, how do i fix this?

@@astrobackwards ok sweet thank you, so doing stretched res this way on the xl2546 is better and smoother than gpu scaling in Nvidia settings?
yes
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.
i tried these settings and it looks and feels horrible ?
Hey just wanted to mention that some people use AMDS graphic cards..
do you really overclock modern systems?
honestly makes not so much sense in the current development, or does it?
it depends on the configuration, in most cases RAM OC helps a lot
@@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.
I disagree with the power plan. It should always be set to "Normal." It doesn't positively affect performance in any way, and it may unnecessarily increase energy consumption and temperature.
Agree i back to normal mode better so much
my cpu temps stopped reaching 90 degrees / crashing when I finally turned this back to "normal"
@@1LeoLeonardo1 I'm glad I could help. People often recommend changing this option even though they don’t fully understand how it works.
@@1LeoLeonardo1 it means you have a terrible cooling at the first place. You should look at it first.
@@geekBengal @geekBengal I sadly don't have that exact same rig anymore so i couldn't do any good testing on it to verify but I am using the same aio and it still runs like a dream, ~47 degrees at idle and around 80 under load. I will say that I did notice my old rig very quickly stopped overheating when I changed power plan from high performance to normal... more specifically I seemed to notice an improvement when decreasing minumum processor state off of 100% to something lower.
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.
It could very well have been an unrelated bug or issue at the time (~2021 when I was having that issue)
5900x cpu and nzxt z73 was what I was using
i have an ryzen 5 5500 can you give me some gpu pairs that would work great with it?
4060 3060ti 3060 or any higher gpu
also better to get 5800x3d if u dont want to change AM4
Wonder if i should reduce max graf if i got 3090 with i9 ....
Definitely, put global shadow quality to low and particle quality to low, it keeps the graphics exactly the same but with moderately better FPS.
@TheRealName7 thanks ill def. Check it.
@@Raspora lol always keep your shadow at very high. it helps with distant shadows which is extremely helpful on maps like dust 2 and nuke.
that thumbnail is art
what about AMD gpu's?
do u recommend amd antilag enabled?
AMD Antilag works even worse than NVIDIA Reflex, so i recommend disabling it
@@astrobackwards yeah i noticed too from testing, also what can i do if im cpu bottlenecked? i have ryzen 5 5600g and i reach avg 200 but it feels bad..:
Cl_interp ?
The rate is just a cap and as long as you're not hitting it (which in a regular 5v5 match you're not even close to) there's literally no difference between 786432 and 1000000 it's pretty much equivalent to having fps_max 800 vs 1000.
I have the highest fps when using 8mxaa and filtering to 16. Gpu 4070s. So you dont really make sense in my case.
Insane how AMD users are just completely forgotten!
Nice thanks
