I wanted to fix my cs2 performance but I didn’t want to learn it from no womanly guide. Thankfully I found this manly guide and now all my problems are gone. Thank you Philip, very cool!
You know you're a 3kliksphilip fan when you have absolutely no issue running the game but watch the whole video anyway.
Literally on a 4090 but love 2/3kliksphillips videos too much to skip any.
@@datatron100congrats
Help! I'm stuck at 390 fps and my eyes are laggy, how do you upgrade body parts?
Literally on 7090 Ti turbo but yes
I can't help it, Philip is just so dang good at writing sentences and reading them out loud!
Philips the only cs youtuber to include clips of his fails instead of sick frags like other people.
@3kliksphilip I have a huge problem with my video settings. Every time I lower them, they do not save the return back to very high settings. It shows me recommended settings but every time I select them it doesn't save. It reverts back to high settings. I hate this game now and I just feel like deleting it now because the fps sucks. My specs are amd ryzen 5 radeon with 16 gb 3200mhz ram.
@@juliuskona3299make sure you restart the game manually after these changes,changes wont be saved if u exit the game by a crash or alt f4 also make sure u delete the back up files if the problem still presists watch guides on how to delete all old save files.
I dont know if you still play, but this happened to me also, it's stopped with the new update@@juliuskona3299
I was expecting a hyper-game-specific set of troubleshooting tips for CS2, but in reality this is actually just pretty good advice in general. For laptop gamers with Nvidia dGPUs, I'd also recommend going to the Nvidia control panel, then 'manage 3D settings', then in 'program settings', select the game you think may be using the iGPU, then select 'High-Performance Nvidia processor' in the preferred graphics processor drop-down menu.
I always changed it in the general settings since you want this for every game anyways but yeah, good tip
@@Mart-E12that works too, But occasionally some games (like 2D platformers, or even text-based adventure games/VNs etc) might try to use the dGPU when the iGPU is more than adequate, and will usually make the laptop fans louder overall, so i don't mind manually changing it from time to time if the laptop chooses an inappropriate GPU.
@@bilalsadiq1450 that's weird why would the fans get louder when the dGPU should barely be under any load in those
@@Mart-E12 I think that the dGPU, even when under a negligible load, kicks up the fans a little from its idle 1500 to 2500 (its a dual fan laptop, one for the GPU and one for the CPU) as a precaution against overheating, so if I only use the iGPU, the dGPU doesn't even ran at an low speed, meaning only the CPU/iGPU fan will spin up.
I like how this isn't just a CS2 performance guide, but a general PC performance guide. Good stuff
Pro-tip that most people don't know about:
Keep Power Plan on Balanced.
If Windows Game Mode is turned on, it'll automatically start running the game with High Performance power plan. This is also good because Windows Game Mode makes Ryzen CPUs perform better.
too many people aren't even aware their computer can be customized beyond choosing a desktop background.
@@white_mageXD, but this is true
windows Game Mode is bad, dont use it.@@akirajkr
@@akirajkr That's not how that works and not what Game Mode does. What makes Ryzen CPUs perform better are the chipset drivers and updated AGESA bios. Plan being changed to High Performance would actually hurt Ryzen CPUs.
Im not sure why its so common for the most common sense useful advice to be left out of nearly all tutorials, literally never encountered this before! 1:39
This is super common in game development too, like the most industry standard ways of doing things are never explained and then you end up spending a week on a workaround when there's an common solution (that nobody ever feels the need to mention when talking about your exact problem)
If you are retarded, this is for you.
it's kind of a no brainer if you assembled your pc yourself but true, I don't remember seeing any tutorial mentioning something as basic but as crucial as actually plugging into the correct device before
Prob useless but i have an i5-11350h with irisXe and its runin only at 40 fps at any resolution
@@sanjaychowdhary3118that usually indicates a CPU bottleneck
It is a no brainer because the dedicated gpu won't show up as the gpu being used in any game (it will list the integrated gpu), and your performance will be horrible
Hi Philip! I watched this video when it came out and specifically noticed the section about plugging your monitor into your gpu. This is something that, for me, resides in the tech support deadzone between "this is a very simple mistake someone could make" and "this is a very complicated thing someone wouldn't be able to solve" and, as such, I would never have considered it as a troubleshooting step for anyone who came to me with low framerates or other issues. I knew how to do it right and kinda assumed everyone else did, too.
Less than 8 hours later, I was in a call with a friend (who does not and never has played CS) that was having computer issues. I noticed their 3080 was at 0% utilization, and remembered that step this video. I asked them to check... and their monitor was plugged into the wrong place. It didn't entirely fix their problems, but it certainly helped.
Thank you for mentioning this in your video. I can attest to it helping at least one person.
A tip I found useful on laptops was to straight up take the battery out and run from the mains whenever you're using it. For me it helped my temps a lot as there was no longer a brick of heat at the back of my laptop, which in turn helps your performance as a laptop's main issue is throttling due to heat.
Neat, but I don't like the idea of opening my laptop every time I want to game and then putting the battery back in to use it as a laptop
@@davitdavid7165 If you’re someone who actually uses it as a laptop then obvs not. It was meant more for ppl like me who use it as a glorified desk top and never have it unplugged.
@@davitdavid7165this is why I miss how old laptops were where a lot of the parts were replaceable from a dedicated compartment and could be swapped in 20 seconds

phillip looking out for us the people is hard as Fudge !!! thank you and good on your behalf of making shure cs2 gets the help it needs, a community that understands how to react to the changes andrealise what actions must be taken to make shure that we can all continue on with our questinable hobby
Take care of inside of your pc\laptop. Sometimes cleaning and changing thermal paste/pads is enough to make things better, but sometimes you have to buy a new cooler (especially if you have box one) or add/change fans, to make your case less like oven. Doesn't matter what thermal paste you buy, but how you put it makes a difference.
And changing cpu can do wonders even with weaker cards. I switched from r3 1200 to r5 3600 with gtx 1050 and I still saw a huge difference in games and overall performance. SSD is another cheap and good upgrade, doesn't matter sata or m2, both will do wonders (m2 is better, but if you don't have one sata still do it's job).
I agree with everything but I think its worth mentioning, it doesn't matter what thermal paste you use but you should probably get non-conductive paste/pads, especially if you are a novice
1. It doesn't matter how you "put" thermal paste. X, dots, smiley face, whatever the fuck you want, as long as you put enough of it and not too little. Too much is better than too little, excess paste will just be squeezed out by the cooler as you install it. It will only make a mess, not hurt performance. Make sure the paste is not conductive, but most good cheap pastes like MX-4 and Noctua NT-H2 are just fine.
2. It's a bad idea to randomly start changing thermal paste and pads, especially in a laptop, you could make things worse without realizing. First, determine that the paste/pads are indeed the problem by seeing if you even have thermal issues in the first place, and if dusting doesn't fix it.
I agree with the rest.
This is actually seriously good advice for anyone in general, some even I wouldn't think to do aswell but thats just me not catching up on newer tech like G-Sync/Freesync. My brain still stuck in performance guides from 2013..
Lol same, I've turned Freesync off because I don't understand what it does.
Philip you need to test this command "engine_low_latency_sleep_after_client_tick 1" it was added recently and its description is "When r_low_latency is enabled, this moves the low latency sleep on tick frames to happen after client simulation." it only works when reflex is enabled and apparently it increases 1% lows by alot. Would love to see you test it.
replace 1 with "true" and it actually works
@@slezyorla it's a boolean so 1 or true should both work.
yeah it interprets 1 as true anyways
@@kipchickensout my god, I've been annoyed having to type true all the time now, thanks for the tip.
it won't help if you don't cap your fps. i have my fps capped and it helps but with fps_max 0 there won't be a difference
Just for posterity, fps_max 0 is a bad idea. It causes CS to try and load impossible frame rates and, at least for me and others I’ve read about, makes map load in times slower. It’s better to choose 999 or a normal value like 400-500.
He made a video on it a long ago.
yes. it breaks the game completely. witnessed this. it causes fps drops of 80% or more. set a limit in the driver
@@vespa7961so, no limit is cs, limit in driver?
Rule of thumb for me is to set fps_max to double the refresh rate of your monitor
In go it's a good idea idk about cs2
1. For laptop users, try and prop up your laptop for better airflow
2. Of course, if you have single channel ram, consider if you can add another stick of ram to use dual channel.
3. Repasting your gpu and cpu could help.
4. Verify your fan curves
5. Try to undervolt your gpu (msi afterburner), to lower thermal load.
6. Should have been (2.), clean dust buildup on vents, heatsinks, and anywhere else.
7. Lower Room temp helps reduce pc's temp, dont get too cosey.
HTH
You can buy laptop cooling pads/stands for like $20-30. They help a lot.
Or for better cooling a laptop, improvise. As a poor student I used post it blocks to make the laptop stand a bit higher. Had better cooling like that.
Simple desk fan pointed at laptop can do crazy things.
Like the one you use on hot day to cool yourself, just point it at the laptop, and it will never overheat again.
You're an absolute legend for these tips. Made my crappy GTX 960m graphics card run buttery smooth!
If you are AMD and experiencing shader stutters (stutters in new areas of map and when grenades go off first time) it's because the update on 9/14 broke it. It now resets once you open the game after the shader file for cs2 reaches 16MB+ at %localappdata%/AMD/DxCache. Hopefully next update will fix it.
Thank you for this.
Thanks!

hey, 3klik, be sure your cat gets lots of water... I lost my little fella last month due to kidney complications. cats usually drink way less water than they should and end up having kidney complications at some point!
for 4:04: when conducting this test, always kick all bots because they contribute more to overall CPU workload..
for me its a 40% difference with/without bots
Does making the bot not controlled by ai (making them not react and not move) does the same?
I would assume testing with bots is a bit better because it's closer to a real match regarding overall load. If you set up your performance while alone on a map, that performance will most likely drop once you enter a real match because of additional processing/computing that needs to happen because of other people in the match.
@@rand0mtv660bots in your own server take up so much more processing power than real players on an official server.
@@cj7318 ohhh right right because a local match runs on your device. Would make sense. I didn't think about it that way.
For people stuttering on modern AMD GPUs (5000, 6000, 7000), look up how to disable DXNAVI on DX11 titles. Gets rid of the issue of the shader cache being constantly deleted, which gets rid of the weird stutters and freezes. Of course, this involves editing your registry, so do so at your own risk

A helpful guide for computers in general disguised as a cs2 performance guide
Well done
Here's a recommendation, although obviously not for everyone: Try to use a different OS. If you're on WIn11, go to 10. If you're on 10, maybe consider switching to Linux?
If you're limited by how powerful your parts are, you'll need to optimize in other ways. Windows by itself is pretty heavy compared to other OSes, you can probably reclaim some power that way.
Resetting the os is probably best. it should honest-to-god be good practice to back up all the important stuff, then totally wipe your pc every year or so. 99% of computer problems are software 😭😭
Ah yes yet another furry spewing Linux propaganda. Guess what, it doesn't matter. Windows 11's shit runs on half an Alder Lake e-core.
If you're having SO much trouble running a game that nothing fixes it - an OS switch might not even fix it. And even if it does, it could be very fucking situational just like Minecraft, yet everything else runs the same, or worse, and on top of that, you have to fiddle with all sorts of compatibility issues because most other games won't work, which I'm sure your friends would happily and patiently wait for you to fix as they want to start a match but you can't join because you're running Loonix.
My point is? Nothing fixes it, then upgrade your fucking PC, don't bother with OSes. Only way to get ANY results. Don't waste time trying to optimize shit in software. I learned this the hard way.
@@throwawayaccount7672 No, no it's not. Unless you are reckless, install all sorts of shit, tweak every setting possible, follow dumbshit 'optimization guides' on Windows... then yes, reset your shit every year because you'll have to from all the damage you caused. I don't do things like that with my OS, I simply install it, tweak some personal usage settings like mouse speed and leave it at that. Haven't had to reset or reinstall for years bar for complete motherboard upgrades. Performance is top notch.
Man, reading the comments in this video reminds me just why I quit the tech community entirely. So much misinformation that people eat up without a second thought. So many entitled fanboys. It's tiring
@@throwawayaccount7672 Honestly, reinstalls don't really do much more than clean up your system. The underlying OS is still incredibly heavy- way more than it should be. If you're already gaming on a potato, the overhead of Windows is gonna be a killer.
I'd recommend SteamOS if you just want to game, but some other good alternatives could be Linux Mint and Debian. KDE desktop environment is the closest to windows (and imo the most well-rounded UX), and can be installed on any distro.
@@crylune im sorry man, i didnt expect that reaction. sorry if i worded it odd or something i didnt mean to come across as assertive or anything! i dont need to reset my pc every year but i do purely because of the stuff i need to use on it and all the different uses i have for it. there's a lot of software i use and over time they very much build up. im not sure what you're using your pc for, i have been helping people fix their desktop problems or a little around 6 years now and it literally almost boils down to their pc just being old. if you use your pc daily and actually do use it, shit will build up. your pc WILL run slower unless you clean it pretty well and in a lot of cases the issue isnt very pinpointable whatsoever. there are some great software options that automatically clean your pc of stuff you dont need and junk that builds up, though. those programs work very well!
my 'reckless' behaviour gets me 2% cpu idle and 0% gpu idle. it should absolutely be common practice to have everything backed up, so its not that hard to reset your pc every once in a while if you want to. every tech dude in the world should agree with me here. dozens if not hundreds of times have people came up to me and asked for help with an issue they're having and i check their task manager and their cpu is sitting at 75% idle because they have a bazillion background apps that accumulate
i reset my system a little over 2 months ago and i already have over 104 installed programs. shit will build up no matter what you do and its pretty unavoidable
also, if all the settings you tweak is your mouse sens and other 'personal usage settings' you're either lying or barely use your computer whatsoever. either way that's bullshit lol
Game feels really crisp now, thanks!
1:40 Connecting my monitor to the pc did the trick for me (also limiting fps)
I've never came so quick to one of your videos, god damn
proof?
Hold up
for people who use Intergrate gpu or experience some low fps with low hardware, i got some setting for you. Like me, im using:
- Intel Iris Xe Graphic
- Intel Core i5 1135G7 11th-Gen @ 2.4Ghz
- 12GB RAM (initial is 8GB, but im upgrade)
- Laptop: Lenovo ideapad 3 Slim 3
This setting can go push to 70 fps, depend on map and how many player in the map. So far, Mirage is the most stable map
Firstly, im upgrade the RAM to 12GB. Second, i use QuickCPU to "overclocked" or some sort, and set the Performance to 100%. Lastly, set the BIOS to Extreme Performance. Dont forget to have a fan below the laptop because your laptop gonna get hot instantly
For game setting:
- 4:3 (1280x960 or 1400x1050) [extra: you can set to 16:9 but better with 1600x900]
- Anti-alias: 2x
- Model: Medium
- Shadow: Medium
- Texture Filter: Trilinear
- Shader: Low
- Particle: Medium
- Ambient: Disabled
- Dynamic Range: Performance
- FidelityFX: Ultra Performance (you can choose Disabled)
TAKE NOTES that this setup is the most BALANCE in frame rate and visibility. You want set to Low, go on but the display gonna pixel as heck
The only big counter advice that I can post is that getting the graphics driver from Nvidia or AMD on a laptop can be problematic.
I installed Nvidia drivers for my legion 5 pro and it completely bricked the display adapter. I had to reinstall Windows to get it back working and then go get the manufacturer specific drivers. (In this case, Lenovo.)
Just check first if the manufacturer has updated drivers for your machine if you're on a laptop before you go tinkering with the branded display drivers.
Thank you Philip for being a landmark of positive content in this community.
Just a useful tip for anyone having frame drops. Try reapplying the thermal paste on your cpu. In my case it was because of thermal throttling
yeah, but just use a software to see temp before repasting your cpu.
@@asr1el942 THANK YOU. Don't get why the fuck people immediately jump to "CHANGE UR PASTE" when you haven't even checked temps yet and it could make things worse
@beenguy5887 that was funny lmao
You didn't mention Vulkan!
Using Vulkan instead of DirectX 11 can lead to a significant performance improvement in some cases.
Just start the game with the -vulkan launch option
yeah but the game will be more prone to crashes in same cases because its using a different rendering system than normal and can crash on specific hardware
Vulkan is great to have as an option, but at least for me Vulkan is quite a bit worse than DX11. Just wanted to say that people shouldn't expect great improvements, but it's worth trying out.
Works better for newer GPUs that were designed for vulkan/dx12 in mind, but anything newer than 2019 is going to handle CS2 pretty well.
Game was actually unplayable with crazy stutters/freezes on my 6700k + rtx 2070 (only online tho, not offline with bots). Vulkan completely fixed that for me.
vulkan is way worse for me, 5600x 3080
I can’t wait for when philips “hella alotta” just devolves into screaming
Not CS2 specifically, but in general I find it helps a lot to use overclocking tools to keep the graphics card (and memory) in a certain frequency range. Rather than just overclocking everything to the max, I get a much better experience when I down the max frequencies and up the low frequencies, such that it doesn't suck as much power and at the same time keeping the games smooth, because the frequencies don't drop much if the graphics card "thinks" there's nothing major going on in the game right now. I noticed this in GTA V first. As soon as I fixed the horrible lows despite having a powerful graphics card (RX 6950 XT) using the method described, nearly every single other game was fixed as well. So, instead of drawing around 300 watts when the GPU "thinks" it needs all the power it can get, and the next second lowering my FPS to around 20 because it "thinks" it doesn't need to do anything, I have a steady 80-90 FPS range in Cyberpunk 2077 now, all the while only drawing around 170 watts while playing (all settings maxed out + FSR Quality, no ray tracing). Oh and I use MSI Afterburner to accomplish this, the Radeon driver doesn't really save the frequency profiles as I wish it would. Hope this can help someone.
Where can you see the power draw ?
I wanna see for my pc too!
@@vinaygautamhome AMD's Adrenaline driver provides Metrics. You can configure them via the software and view them by pressing Ctrl+Shift+O. Don't know about Intel/Nvidia.
What are the settings in MSI afterburner?
@@SanderSovrlic-alesov Open the Curve Editor, use the leftmost point to set the minimum, and the rightmost point to set the maximum. For my GPU I set minimum to around 1700-1800 MHz and maximum is around 2500 MHz or 2400 (default maximum minus around 300-400 MHz). Something like that. In the end it should draw a steady line which gradually grows from left to right.
Also adjust the voltage if needed, e.g. games crash or black screen.
@@cheebadigga4092 Thanks. I will try this.
If you are interested, Windows has significantly more options for controlling performance outside the default settings you can view in the power plan settings. Often OEM will set these to improve battery life. There are things which change min/max frequency from everything from P and E cores, to throttling of the CPU instead of spinning fans up to save on battery. Some of these can easily boost performance, while others are really niche and probably wont do much. Big caveat should be made here as you could end up significantly reducing the amount of battery you have with a minor setting, or reducing the life of parts as they get stressed more frequently. Similar to how charging batteries to 100% is worse for long time performance of batteries than charging to 80%.
Battery😂, windows power plan settings😂, OEM windows settings😂, reducing life span because of power plan settings😂😂.
@@Weneedaplague Life span of what? The CPU? The thing that outlasts everything in your PC? Average lifespan of 30 years?
PCIE power saving was one of those things back in the day that had a pretty significant impact on performance for low end laptops. I'm not sure it works like that anymore but it's worth testing if you are trying to eke out a few more frames on a low end laptop.
If you are playing on a laptop, using a program like Throttlestop to halt your CPUs turboboost from thermal throttling your laptop might make the game feel smoother too.
Some laptops share a copper heatsink from the GPU and CPU, so one getting hot impacts the others max performance.
Using this program I brought down my max turbo ratio by .5 GHz and it feels so much better and my laptop doesn't get as worryingly hot.
The fps remained similar but it did feel smoother, altough I admit that this all may be all in my mind.
Interesting, but iirc some manufacturers lock those kind of options. Do you know if it could work on a somewhat recent HP laptop ?
@@meuhtalgear Most 11th gen+ Intel cpus in laptops are now locked and cannot be tuned, unless you unlock them via a bios edit, which is just too much fuss for regular people.
On AMD you can disable boosting entirely in windows power settings and drop temps down by a lot, ~10c on my 5800H depending on use case.
Also, if you have a dedicated gpu in your laptop you should look in to undervolting, it's free performance and lower temps.
While having lower temps is better, I strongly doubt that CS2 is pushing any laptop that much where temperatures are the limiting performance factor.
@@3rd.world.eliteAJconfirmed on Intel 12th mobile. All 12th mobile non HX have locked setting no undervolt no overclock no matter brand model. It very dumb, if they don't want us to get more "performance" just lock overclock and let us undervolt and underclock. And it very complicated when you try to tell the customer that you have been shafted when you buy a i9 12950H and there is nothing you can do but sitting in desktop at 60-70C and 80-95C in a game that use 2 core. And all core clocks at 3.5 P core. Since they buy those laptop expecting those running cooler and higher clocks. I won't buy anymore Intel laptop at this point, and will not recommend it too anyone.
@@3rd.world.eliteAJsince you have 5800h you can do pbo2 and per core optimizing (automatically in Ryzen master) it help both performance and temp. Or you can just do traditional underclock with undervolt so you can still have higher clocks than turbo disable.
Also Ryzen controller let's you set how much power processor draws with and without boosts.
It was lifesaver for me, because for whatever ridiculous reason Lenovo decided to run my processor at 35w while amd specs say it should be between 10 to 25w max.
At the cost of 10% fps in most games throttling is gone, when I set it up on 20w.
YOU MADE MY DAY, AMIGO !!!!! BIG THANKS 2 YOU 4 THIS SIMPLE AND CLEAN EXPLAINED VIDEO
I was expecting you to cover Graphics Settings
Which ones are worth keeping on other than shadows
When I first ran CS2 I was getting 100% GPU usage on my 3060 with terrible stuttering.
I later found out my refresh rate had reset to 60hz but I was trying to force 240hz using ingame settings.
Took me 3 years of owning my monitor to learn the refresh rate resets when you unplug the DP cable.
You didn‘t notice the difference between 60 and 240 hz on your desktop immediately?

@@Friddle All good, was just wondering. :-)
100% gpu usage is GREAT

Thank you, this really helped. I had vsync activated in my nvidia settings, while thinking that it is off (because of the game settings). I went from 30-59 fps to 5x-1xx with my mobile Nvidia GTX 1060, on actually reasonably high graphic settings even. This is on my now 8 year old MSI GS VR 6RE Phantom Pro. (The scaling-up of a lower resolution doesn't work at all for me though)
I litterally have the same problem, let me elaborate:
Laptop: Dell vostro 3530
CPU: i7 1355U
GPU: Nvidia MX550
RAM: 24 GB
Monitor: Build in screen 120Hz
Problems:
- The PC is limiting it self to keep cool (max temp is 61°C for CPU and GPU) --> 5 to 8 FPS max :/
- Sometimes it goes up to 90FPS for a while --> fans are doing great job and I dont really mind that. But just till the temp hits the 86°C.
- Then, it goes down again to 8 FPS.
Solutions I tried:
- Go to DELL setting and make what you did: Ultra performance thermal management + Primarly AC charging mode. but still the same :/
Hey Philip, have you thought about inspecting the spiral staircase in Dust 2 yet? I'm interested in knowing if Source 2 and its SDK makes this easier.
Sometimes fps limit is better because it prevents the render queue from building up, which in effect accomplishes the same thing as nividia boost+reflex.
dx11 just like dx9 can clear render queue after each render so what you said here is just stopid
@@noone-zl4rj key word CAN, this does not mean it WILL, an FPS cap guarantees that it won't build up
also there is a chance that (for some reason) Valve does not have that enabled in DirectX
@@noone-zl4rj When the GPU load reaches 99%, it starts to build up in a queue, which is usually cleared within 2-3 frames, but it creates an input lag. The fps limiter prevents the input lag by not allowing the GPU load to max out. It became very popular about 4 years ago when battle(non)sense came out with it.
@@noone-zl4rj Modern GPUs support this at the game and driver level, so this remains a personal preference choice, but if your GPU is very old, this can be useful. In short, you're trading off fps for frame time.
@@zirize FPS limit has a caveat though. If the GPU isn't under enough load it will downclock / drop power states which creates input lag / inconsistant or floaty feeling. There are ways to lock the GPU to max clocks / power states however.
for people who have a lot fps in game to spare, i find turning on shadows and shaders on high provide sharp and clean shadow and in some area an advandage. personnaly i prefer msaa x4 + nvidia fxaa than msaa x8 (1440x1080). everything else is on low.
Dude f off this is a video for people who can't get to 140 fps

excellent vid as always.
Important addition to the graphics card part: they may have the same model number but laptop GPUs are not the same as desktop GPUs! For example THe AMD Radeon 6800 is not the 6800M! Do not confuse it, it confuses you. I know, it's confusing.
Luckily 6800m is a pretty good laptop gpu. However trying to find nvidia laptop specs is insane, I have a laptop with a 4060. And when you look up laptop 4060 benchmarks you either get someone with a docking station or 4070 laptop benchmarks
unbelievably helpful video. Probably the best guide I’ve ever seen on getting the best performance.
I have multiple friends who are experiencing varying degrees of stutter or lag when they scope in with awps and scouts. SGs are fine though. One has a slightly older intel/nvdia build and the other is a pretty new AMD build. Sorry I dont have exact specs will try and post in an edit later!
im experiencing this too.. the game freeze when i scope using awp... had to not use AWP when playing cs2 rn lmao
Unfortunately AMD has no "reflex / boost" type of option so you have to lock the clockspeed / power stages manually.. Ofcourse AMD stopped people from accessing MorePowerTool so you have to do it in a janky way in the driver. AMD cards were particularly bad on CS:GO because of the power states / constant downclocking.
Same, ryzen 3600 and 3070. My friends got the same issue on decent builds too. Idk what is taking them so long considering the release date was announced to be in "summer" :^)
Don’t worry to much I have a 3070ti intel 13700 or sum same problem it’s probably the game. I mean I run cyberpunk with no problems even rtx runs better than scoping. 💀💀💀

( both him and me have round about 250-300 fps while he has much lower settings then me ) with exception for a few days will the big limited test rollout where i had pretty wierd lags, after gamestart on any map, what i would relate to shader building, if this game with its pretty old dx11 implementation would have such thing. since a few days these are gone for me.

I changed my i7 4790k for an i5 13600k and the performance gain is cs (and other online games) was huge. And thats using the same gpu still (gtx 1070). Although im looking to upgrade that too
So i have r5 2600 with rtx 2070 super and 2x8 3200 mhz ram and im only getting around 150-200 fps,so this is a cpu bottleneck i guess?
You left out a very crucial advice. Delete the DirectX Shader Cache with Disk Cleanup and delete the directx_installer in the game folder! That's a rather new performance tip, as cs:go wasn't affected by it. Don't forget to verify game files afterwards and maby restart the PC after cache cleaning.
That doesn't make sense unless shader caching in your GPU drivers is abnormally broken. Also, shader cache will get invalid after the next update anyway. Removing directx_installer will only skip DirectX 9 installer (CS2 uses DX11, and GPU drivers itself provide DX11 implementation), which is kinda useless for newer Windows OSes since they ship all the needed libraries.

Also really important is the ram setup, dual channel is an absolute must for most games as single channel is just held back.
Especially so if you're using an integrated gpu, the performance difference can be quite substantial just by upgrading from single to dual channel ram.
note that on ddr5, one single stick is already running dual channel, so you don't need more than one stick for dual channel
@@keppycs That's not entirely true. You still get an improvement to memory bandwidth by running two DDR5 memory modules instead of one. It's also worth keeping in mind that 8GB DDR5 DIMMs perform worse than 16GB DIMMs due to having less bank groups so for a DDR5 system you ideally want at least a 2x16GB kit.

I had performance issues in my first proper match and when testing bots. Without changing settings, it's been smooth after that. I'm incredibly impressed with CS2's performance, personally.
It feels weird, though. I almost always used to have a lower end PC and would constantly whine about performance. I'm not sure how I feel about losing that perspective.

I have a 8-9 year old laptop with a gtx 960m & core i7-6700hq. The temps are what holding my laptop's performance back by a lot (85-90 degrees on CPU), but I recently added another 8gb stick of RAM to make my laptop run in dual channel. It helps a lot more to the performance than trying to fix that damned overheating CPU & GPU (from 50 avg to about 80-90)
I used to have a 13900K with a RTX 4090, on the low-ish settings I could get 400-500 FPS on all the maps in deathmatch, very silky smooth. But my 13900K recently fried itself and I am on a backup i5 12400F and my FPS is basically sh!te now at 80-200 FPS but mostly hovering around ~150, this feels slightly stuttery on my 240Hz monitor even with G-Sync off, so I can understand how rough it is for the majority of people on low or medium spec machines. CSGO didn't have this issue for me, only CS2.
This game is stupidly CPU heavy for no reason, even triple A games run better on medium
try to disable HT (HyperThreading) cores, those can hurt performance and latency. I suggest googling for "Processor idle demote threshold" and how to enable and change it to 100% with Processor Power Management Optimization. Sounds like common microstutter (DPC Latency) issues. No easy way around it but digging down the rabbithole of hidden Windows Powerplan Settings. you can try to play with the affinity's in task manager and keep in mind that CPU0 and CPU1 are mostly used to handle drivers/kernel and background tasks.

It's worth noting that capping your framerate in the console in Source games is really funky. My PC starts pretending it can't maintain whatever number I type in, even when it's capable of 4x the performance. Much better to cap the framerate through GPU drivers (Radeon Chill etc.) or through Rivatuner
The game runs at a perfectly fine fps almost all the time, except when I scope in with an awp for a half second the fps drops by about 2 thirds and essentially freezes on a black screen in that time. This isn't a ceaseless problem, only the first couple times scoping in each round
Possible fix actually, I will test it out in a moment changing antialiasing to CMAA2 apparently fixes it
Seems like gpu problem, and u probably running mostly high-maxed settings, play with msaa and stuff and test it on deathmatch
@@pilot554 having CMAA2 on instead of no antialiasing did fix the problem, I want to test some other stuff for other solutions but I'll do it some other time
My laptop is very bad and it used to stutter and crash alot in CS2 but running the game on windowed mode got rid of the stutters and crashes while decreasing fps by about 10. I don't the reason why this happens but I'm fine with getting less frames for a more consistent experience.
Ya I’ve been getting stutters that last well into a few games of comp even after playing through some DM games to make it stop.
And then also crash a bunch so I reeeeeally hope they fix it. I’ve got mid-high end last gen parts this shouldn’t be an issue. Not low performance and not on the bleeding edge so idk.

what fps are you getting?
Do you have an external monitor? Sometimes the laptop uses the integrated graphics for display, which can result in lower FPS, but if, like my old laptop, the hdmi exit is not for the GPU it might change nothing, I recommend you call a friend to try their monitor and test if it helps
Considerung that the GPU seems to be fine, it might actually be a CPU problem (6/12 with a base clock of 2.5GHz and max turbo of 4.1 @ 45/35Watts).

Also Nvidia G-Sync is set ON it makes game more smoother without delaying mouse movement and FPS cap set to 330 fps.

Problem: overall very low fps. Somehow capped by my CPU (CPU sitting at 45% usage and GPU sitting at 20% usage). Another issue is as soo any someone shoots me, my fps drops to around 10 fps. (I think its the blood splatter that is causing this). Disabling hpythreading seemed to help a bit with fps fluctuations but still really low and the game still freezes when I get shot.
Oh, that's because the 3050ti mobile has an extremely bad graphics memory configuration. 128bit bus, gddr6, 4gb ram, and pcie 4.0 x 8 lane.
Stutters are going to massively occur in many games. Do your best to reduce how much vram the GPU is loading. So that would be going as low of a graphics setting as possible.
CPU is overkill (seems to happen with many laptop configs) and is perfectly fine.
Same issue with a Ryzen 5600h and a 3060 mobile, using low model helps, when using medium, if I spam a wall with a gun, the particles and the holes lag it to low 60/70 fps
CPU thread distribution feels bad, some threads are sweating while others are at 10%
This might be a driver issue? You can try uninstalling your driver with Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and reinstalling it from official sources. You have a very powerful CPU and sufficient memory, so it can only be the GPU. If it doesn't help try tweaking the settings in Nvidia Control Panel or even reinstalling Windows.
Good luck!
it probably is my vram, its sitting at around 90%, my GPU and CPU are both limited by something so it must be that. Is there any way to lower VRAM more past the lowest texture settings?@@sijiehe1826
same cpu usage here with an i7 8700 paired with a 3080, this game needs some serious optimization work. I get 200-97fps lol, where in rdr2 I get a stable 120fps on ultra xD..
From my experience, pairing 1050 Ti with decent 4 core+ CPU results in decent enough performance.
Personally used i3-7100, which was extremely terrible. Situation might be better on 12th gen+ Pentiums and such, but i would suggest going for i3-12100f in this case, it doesn’t cost much more.

My game runs at pretty high framerate (around 200-300), but seems to fluctuate really quickly. I have tried so many different guides. My game runs smooth when I spawn in, but starts feeling like I'm playing at 60hz after about a minute or so. I am playing on 170hz. In private lobbies with no bots it seems to be fine, but is worsened the more players there are in the game and is especially worsened when I peek or an enemy is on my screen. I have tried pretty much every ingame setting/nvidia setting, increased priority to high, and disabled game mode in windows and NVIDIA overlay.

Have anyone found a fix for this?
8:25 I personally use this in a couple games (especially Minecraft)
Limiting FPS to something slightly above the Monitor Refreshrate prevents your PC from rendering frames you wouldn't see anyways, and leaves more processing power for actually rendering the stuff around you (i.e. chunks in minecraft).
I am sad about every game that doesnt offer me a 65 Fps setting
You can always limit your fps with external tools so even if a game doesnt offer the option, check your GPU of choice software for a frame limiter or download one.
Thank you, good to know. So far no game has forced me to go that extra step for that fix. I'll keep that in the back of my mind
Having FPS higher than your refresh rate makes a huge difference in response time and smoothness of the game. I have a 144hz monitor but I always aim for 200+ fps in games for these reasons
@@LiamBanfield well yes it does, but thats for like competetive games like cs or idk what do kids play nowadays. But most games feel totally fine with 60Hz and fps limited to little above
@@LiamBanfield i dont hard disagree. but in most titles it doesnt matter.
Multiple reasons:
- Game doesnt even consider some of the stuff thats happening on your screen (low tickrate games, where stuff between the ticks is just fancy colors on your screen)
- Competitive games where reaction time matters.
For this one, ping, input delay, and the human reaction time, make me not care about the 5-10ms diffrence of doubling my fps. (just cuz i then got to see 1 frame earlier, that an awp was staring into my soul)
- for my final and favorite reason;
some games actually care about the client info rather than server.
in THAT case, any fps over your refreshrate matters. easiest example i can think of personally: Bhop in counter strike 1.6 (unless prevented per plugin) allowed for much more acceleration gain, if fps were in the hundreds. making people with 1000fps faster than those on 100fps. (Which is why most servers enforce 100fps limit)
Just a couple extra reasons why it rarely matters.
I dont mean to rain on anyone's parade, but my personal take is:
If you think those couple miliseconds are what save you from dying, then thats cope.
Positioning, proper crosshair placement, proper movement, or tactical thinking are much more the diffrence maker in modern competitive settings.
that one extra frame wont change your fate
CPU: Ryzen 9 5950X
GPU: RX 580
Memory: 16GB RAM
Problem: Significant performance drop occurs when there are more than two smokes in CS2. I believe my FPS should be higher; it was consistently at 400 - 500 on Linux. I get 180 - 250 ~in CS2, around smokes it drops to less than 80
That GPU is way too slow for the cpu. Even a rx 6700 would be a huge upgrade
@@3kliksphilipwould have been a good idea to add the display / game resolution to the info template. So we‘d know if someone is playing on 1080p or 4k for example.
@@3kliksphiliphey I love you 😘. Legendary videos.

Problem: Already had problems with CSGO. Unstable and low FPS ranging from 15 to 50.
This makes a lot of sense to me now, I was confused why my RTX2060 struggled, I know it’s not a super high end card but I thought it was recent enough that CS2 would be okay, now I think it might be my CPU as lowest settings 4:3 doesn’t really seem to improve anything
At least I get 144fps in most situations in a comp game but it’s annoying when I’m trying to warm up in a deathmatch
what is your cpu?
Yeah, 1000% sounds like a cpu problem
Hi! What is your CPU model? I have the same card, paired with an Intel i7-8700k @ 3.7GHz. I have the same FPS as you, roughly.
Nvidia reflex makes the frametimes less smooth, and can cause bad stuttering with the boost setting. I would advise only using the enabled setting, and only if you dont get motion sick easily.
Same for me, idk
It shouldn't. Are you using a laptop by chance?
Not for me. Where's your proof of this misinformation?
@@ADRENELINEDUDE My guess is he is using a laptop and the GPU is overheating with it on.
I've got a
Ryzen 5 5600
RTX 3070
2x8 Gb DDR4 3200MhZ ram
and sometimes rarely but still the game just starts lagging out of nowhere i shoot a bullet it stutters, I get killed it stutters, an enemy walks closer to me in game it stutter. As of now i've found no solutions to these problems would love for a fix or anything
do you have an ssd or are you using an hdd? getting an ssd fixed all of the stuttering issues in cs for me. it used to be extremely annoying and get me killed all the time, because when either i or someone else was shooting at me, the game would sometimes freeze for 1-2 seconds.
Well, it’s not your components slowing you down. At least not the processor, gpu or memory.
You could try reinstalling on an ssd if you you’re using an hdd right now.
Did you monitor your temps? Maybe somethings off with the cooling.
Updated all the drivers? Plugged in the graphics card correctly?
Maybe something’s running in the background, have you been looking into task manager while gaming?
@@tagg946yes! I had the same idea haha. Also, install you system on ssd too.
@@Nyahnator interesting you metioned temps, i have the 5600x and its a very hot processor if youre using the stock cooler and pbo enabled on bios(its on by default), i got around 80-90 degress c on pubg, the performance didnt seem to be worse but its definitely smth to keep an eye on, i turnes it off and also didnt change much of the performance but the temps dropped down to like 65 or so
set a framerate limit in the drivers and change fps_max in csgo back to 400
Great video mr phillips
turning reflex on actually makes the game feel less responsive for me and a couple of friends. It seems more like it creates input lag for some people
Although I am not having problems anywhere remotely unplayable, I know the experience in CS2 could very well be better and run smoother.
Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K (8 Core CPU)
Memory: 32 GB RAM
Display: Alienware AW2721D 1440p 240Hz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
Problem: Frames really inconsistent. Averaging around 180-200 FPS, but consistently dropping into the low 100's. Causes an inconsistent experience and what feels like stutters that I was never getting in CSGO. I currently use video settings similar to most competitive players at my native resolution (1440p 16:9 Aspect Ratio).
Most people seem to be having stutter issues in this comment section. Though averaging around 200 FPS on a 3070ti with a 11700k is a bit low. You should be getting closer to 300 or more I think.
make sure the game is installed on a good ssd
@@Schmidii it is, it’s installed on an M.2 SSD
Do you have the latest drivers installed?
