If you still wanna try limiting your framerate, but don't wanna use RTSS, you can use Nvidia's Max Frame Rate feature inside the control panel.
Do NOT use external framerate limiters for games, there is a massive input latency penalty. If you cant feel the difference, there are most likely bigger sources of input lag on your system. It's much easier to feel the difference from 10ms -> 8ms of input latency than rather 30ms -> 28ms. Unfortunately CS:GO's framerate limiter is not good at delivering consistent frametimes, otherwise it would be optimal to cap framerate at a multiple of your monitor's refresh rate for smoothness & responsiveness.
Which causes input lag... If you should cover something like this and come with recommendations, I think you should take that into account.
@@e1g2a3n4 Amen.
@@e1g2a3n4 however RTSS is the best external limiter according to battlenonsense.
Oh and a multiple sounds about right, I believed that for years myself but the only benefit would be screen tearing, which will still occur. Only Vsync would eliminate that or a limited Gsync within refresh.
You could set it a little above your 1% low so you minimize the delta between the dips but that's about it.
And personally I choose limits of 24*x as 24 is the standard in animation. But there's no real benefit.
i always unlimit my fps in csgo and put a limit in nvidia cp for ages, thats the most consistent option imo
Your testing only applies properly to CPU limited setups. Limiting the framerate just below what you can achieve normally decreases latency on a GPU limited setup, as it isn't always catching up to older frames in the CPU buffer (which is running ahead of the GPU). It's worth retesting with different hardware, if you can.
Wow, thanks for this deep insight! That's interesting!
so true, IDK why this guy didn't talk about this but again he says some weird stuff sometimes
No because CS:GO is a very very CPU heavy game. You can literally play with a toaster as GPU
That is not how frames work, if your GPU is rendering frames slower than your CPU it still won't benefit from limiting the FPS. That's just not how framerates work, and the FPS you will achieve is based of CPU and GPU rendering together not a singular. Therefore it will still load the frames faster uncapped.
Thanks for making this one, been waiting for it!
As a side note, I'm pretty sure the in game mouse acceleration is tied to your framerate. So if you use the method of capping your fps at your 1% low you will experience less fluctuation in your mouse acceleration (if you use it)
That's correct.
i wouldnt cap it to 1% low because u only have shit fps for 1% of the time time i would just cap it below ur avg to reduce the dip and still have enough fps like 500 fps avg and %1 200fps = 300-400 cap
Higher fps = lower input lag, but we are forgetting about consistent input lag. If I take a gun fight at 600 fps vs a gun fight at 300 fps, the input lag is very different. After a certain point high fps just leads to diminishing returns. It’s more about do I want consistent input lag, which is why people cap their fps.
True.
Uncapped = tearing and stutters = best and not stable input lag = mouse/crosshair synchro not stable
GSYNC + VSYNC + ULLM = no tearing and stutters = not bad and stable input lag if >=240fps = mouse/crosshair synchro stable = best for muscle memory
You decide.
We should ask what is the most important thing to set for a better gaming in CSGO: no tearing or maybe best input lag or mouse/crosshair synchro
@@majkooll i get no tearing with no software help on my 240 hz monitor with 1660, so idk what to tell you
"Frametime" defines the time it takes to COMPUTE a frame, not how long it is displayed.
while the new frame is being computed the current is being displayed, so it is just the point of view
What you don't consider is trash hardware in laptops which would thermal throttle and cause less than 60fps 20% lows if I didn't cap the fps (even after undervolting CPU and GPU)
What's your laptop model? Im just wondering, i might know some tricks
@@greenicalgaming what would you say for an Acer Predator Helios 300 (I7-9750H/GTX1660Ti/16GB 2666MHz) ?
Playing CS with 60 is a waste anyway. Better of playing something less competitive
@@KKK6Z9 get a laptops cooler, i am also a laptop user, it helps ALOT in temps , in benchmarks it gets me 10% more performance on average
@@greenicalgaming those laptop coolers are trash. just cut vent holes in your laptop
I think I've capped mine at around 300 as otherwise the dips feel too "bad" and it's choppy.
I'd rather have a small disadvantage hovering around 270-300fps than dropping from 450 to 270 and having a massive stutter
same
I don't think you have fully realized the deviation of frametimes as explained here: 01:44
Basically, the deviation between 2.22 ms (450 FPS) and 3.70 ms (270 FPS) is 1.48 ms. Which is why it's misleading to compare framerates 450 and 270 and also why it helps to look at frametimes. 3.70, 2.22 and 1.48 ms are so low values that you might as well reach for the fastest values possible.
So by capping your framerate to 300 you're no longer allowing anything faster than 3.33 ms, which means you are now losing the potential of reaching frames as fast as 2.22 ms (450 FPS). I hope this helps see things more clearly.
@@MrMaxim I have. And IMO I'd prefer having a potential constant 3.33ms than experiencing a change of like 2.7ms at worst
@@maxzett Interesting. I can't feel any difference when it's that low. You do you.
@@MrMaxim yeah. Everyone might feel differently about this.
But I'm also playing a weirdish 16:10 2560x1600 stretched on a 1440p panel.
So I'm a weirdo when it comes to that stuff anyway :D
When I play 1v1 aim maps i sometimes get 1000 fps+ and the game almost breaks and id it feels like I have 1-2 fps. And I hear a slight coil whine if I leave it uncapped. a cap on 400 is the way to go for me
3:40 Although, CS:GO is unoptimised in one major way... It runs on the Source Engine, but one of the most primary optimisation features in this engine is disabled for CS:GO specifically, and that's LOD models.
Models do not change their LODs and there are no LODs in the game because it'd affect the visibility of players at different distances away from the model. So whilst from your perspective you could be completely concealed behind a model, another player's perspective where the model is a different shape due to reduced geometry could expose you.
The only type of "LOD" that is supported in CS:GO is fading the model out, where the engine doesn't render it any longer beyond a predefined distance in units.
Great video by the way, well researched and factual! :D
Csgo does use lod for models at least
@@Ultra289 I think CSGO does use proper LODs for environmental meshes but not much for player models. Maybe 2 or 3 level LODs of players irrespective of the distance.
Id like to see comparison of fps_max 0 and, for example, fps_max 960 (high cap you usually dont reach) and fps_max 400. Cause uncapped might have lags due to engine breaking over 1000fps?
bruh u have a god pc mine reaches max 280
You've read my mind Maximmm !!! Thx for another great content !!
Great explanation!
Thank you!
Well, I thought that a consistent FPS is smoother than my CSS jumping from 350-750 FPS. Learned something new today. Great explanation, keep it up
it IS more consistent, you can only have consistency is scenarios that never or slightly change. from 350-750fps your latency is all over the place along with frametime
3 seconds into the video and I already hit the like button cause it's rare to find straight to the point answers these days on youtube. Appreciate it man, keep up the good work
My game did act strange when uncapped with deep lag spikes, and they went away when capping. Capping can also make your gpu work less so it doesn't heat and consume power as much.
Hey MrMaxim can you do a video on network settings ingame like interp and interp_ratio and rate
If I have 240Hz monitor but I get 350-450 fps... Should I cap my FPS at 360 for better smoothness or play at unlimited where there will be more frame spikes even if my fps overall is higher ?
hey could u answer me, how did u run the RTSS in cs go without using the untrusted mode
old video but thanks so much,for some reason my game just capped at 49 fps and i didnt know that thought it was a nvidia driver problem but now everything is good
Really soooo use full video 😊
I have a 165hz gsync monitor and I lock everything I play on 144FPS and turn on everything. For one simple reason. The components are less busy, thus avoiding chopping the game and stable fps / frametime. And there are also games where I feel better with vsync than playing at maximum fps.
So, do you type fps_max 144? My monitor has a ref rate of 144 and I am confused what to put in fps_max
Capping fps also lowers your "var" next to fps, as i never get above 110 fps on most official maps when playing online... So i capped it to 62 to get stable var and on low levels it doesn't matter much... im gn3 btw also after capping fps at 62 my var is always between 0.3 and 0.4 but before that it used to be 2. My game feels much more smoother now. I play on a laptop.
Same, I could set fps_max 0 and get on certain spot 200+ fps, but cus off fps drop to 120-130 I get var spikes and game just doesn't feel smooth. So I cap fps on 150 and works fine for me.
Did the same thing on my laptop and csgo has been running smoothly ever since.Having it uncapped led to huge fps drops, but capped at 63 solved the problem.DMG btw
@@pzrxex teach me how play man plzzz im stuck at gn3... Btw before capping what was your average fps??
i play uncapped, 800 fps in mirage, 500 on inferno, var 0.008-0.011. Uncapped FPS isnt the cause of high var, unstable FPS is, your var isnt the thing thats unstable its your fps, you need to optimize your PC and remove as much background noise (anything that uses process, memory or bandwidth) as possible that causing issues with your game and focus your resources towards the game, overclock etc to boost processing speed and that alone will stabilize your FPS even more causing lower var. previous GE (stopped playing mm) current faceit level 10.
also record your avg var with discord running in the background and completely closed and if discord is an issue, switch to teamspeak.
My 60Hz monitor is tearing way more when uncapped than caped at something like 180fps, which basically gives 3x possible frames per 1Hz and thus no screen tearing. 240fps, for some odd reason, is too unstable
THanks Maxim i have a am3 with rx580 8gb system with fps_max set at 0 i think its bad for my pc?? my fps has been choppy lately from 290 in warm up to 120 in real game and it would dip to 90 for the lowest FPS i try oc my card oc my pc its not doing anything.. not sure what solution should i try next.. this 1 might be great..
Hey! i have a trash pc, but is it ok to capped it? i only have a duel core cpu
I HAVE FPS DROP FROM 400 TO 300 FOR EXAMPLE AND AT THE SAME TIME MY SPRAY STOPS (I DONT UNCLICK M1 AND MY MOUSE IS REGISTERING THE CLICK, I CHECKED WITH OVERLAY WHICH SHOWS MOUSE PRESSES). IDK HOW TO FIX THAT FULLY
Can you make a video talking about var and how to fix it?
I've managed to achieve a noticeably lower input lag by capping to 400 fps @ 1280x960, locking the GPU core a couple of MHz below boost and using a timer tool set to 0.5ms. FR33THY has a very comprehensive tutorial and explanation why'd you do that
Really nice video, so in general?
high uncapped fps = lower latency
capped fps = smoothest gameplay (not that high fps isn`t smooth XD)
Out of all the comment I've read so far you understood exactly, especially the last part in parentheses.
@@MrMaxim What about Danger Zone, where FPS in general is much lower due to the sheer size of the map. Does capping on lower spec PCs make the experience worse there?
@@MrMaxim tbh i feel like capping reduces input lag because we kinda force to eliminate the render queue. Tried on my PC and some others too and i just feel like my mouse is more responsive, and a lot of pro players cap too. So idk about the higher fps = lower latency thing
What do you think causes high var in game?:(..
Because after I capped my fps at 60, it kinda worked but if I go higher in fps, the var goes even at 30-40 and it's unplayable
I saw if I try to open task manager and end some Steam Client WebHelper tasks it goes back to 0.2 var at 60 fps..
Dude you're just wasting your time on CS:GO with your ancient hardware.
okay but what if you get 1000+ frames and get inconsistencies??? does capping at 600 or playing at 999 cap make that big of a difference? when i load into practice maps it feels like butter but ingame it feels different like not as buttery, dont get me wrong its shit smooth but i can feel the difference which makes me an inconsistent aimer, im known for my aim but having it consistent is another thing when different maps feel different. When your at lower framerates you dont have this issue and everything feels the same (300-400) but for me at 1000+, i feel every change...
Can u compare player with ping below 10 fight with 30-50 ping player? I have buy expensive monitor but still notice the delay because my ping like 40 to 50.
What is you new crosshair ? You have good videos
Back in 1.6 everyone was running 100hz and we'd cap our frames at either 101 or 100.
can you do a video about how Nvidia settings affects to the game? For example the "Power options", if theres a real impact between high performance or adapted, as in the config of windows.
kinda was hoping you'd cover fps_max 0 vs fps_max 999
FPS_MAX 999 VS FPS_MAX 0 ?
FPS_MAX 999 = Faster loadings times , I already tested here.
Its the same thing
@@Ultra289 yeah but loading time its better in fps_max 999 trust me.
@@GabriaTz
Loading times in csgo are irrelevant
Maps are small (including danger zone) and even a hdd can still load them in under 2 min in normal circumstances and for a competitive match you only need 5 min to load before the cooldown triggers
On SSD is almost instant
And after playing the map once until you clóse the game it will load instantly regardless of hdd or SSD
source engine can destabilize once you reach 1000, so you should cap it if you can somehow reach that threshold.
On some maps and situations I reach 1000+ fps, especially 1v1 aim maps. It actually breaks the game and it feels like I have 0.5-1 fps
So should we use fps_max 0 or like 999?
@mrmaxim can you do a video on how to fix stuttering in game? I have a 3080Ti and 12700K, I can crush frames, but I occasionally get random frame stuttering only in CSGO. I have tried everything and I have only found a slight fix by opting into CSGO Beta clients.
Steam layout will cause problems. Games running on old code and cap your fps.
can u do a trailer how to install and to put in the game
I'm always having fps from 300-400 but randomly now it's 100-200 any tips?
hey so anyone know why my laptop wont let me get more than 22 fps? if i go out of csgo i once got 100 but then it instantly went back to 20. pls help
on my pc and my opinion like in every single fps shoter i play i fell like much more responsive and smotther gameplay with capped fps and also latency is more consistent in my opinon but if i uncap it is like for me and my pc more laggy and i fell i have like 60hz btw i have 144hz so i suggest all people to test it with uncap and cap and see witch works best for that pc laptop whatever
“Put it below your 1% low”

I got the i7 12700k which is insane at CSGO, paired with an RX 6900 XT and I get around 500-600 sometimes even higher avg fps on mm on maps like Mirage, Cache and Dust 2. I always wondered it if was better for me to cap my fps at 400 like others do.
With such a good PC you're not getting anything from capping your FPS other than maybe saving energy.
Since you pretty much always stay above your Monitors refresh rate (assuming it's 240Hz or lower) you won't notice an improvement
@@DerMaflon Yeah I just assumed that capping the fps makes a smoother experience

Hello there everyone, I do really need serious help/advice regarding this.
I am streaming and I have a ultra-high pc where I have consistent 450-600 fps on fights and it reaches sometimes over 1000FPS. I am a CSGO player and streamer and I do experience input lags when fps drops. I really didn‘t want to cap my FPS at 400 because I really like to see it high as possible but lately I capped it at 999 but I still do experience input lags. Is the only way to get rid of the unexpected input lags by capping your fps at 400? By the way I have BenQ XL2546K 240hz monitor + DyAc. Do you suggest me FPS cap? If yes, what value and how exactly? Through nvidia control panel? In-Game? Or through this external program RTSS or not sure what it was called again.
Thanks everyone for each reply!
Hello, I want to help and clarify something for every CSGO streamer!
I have the Ryzen 9 5900X and I was having high input lag for two months! After I tried many, but many things, locking fps and lots of other stuff, I found at the end that the launch option -allow third party software was making me the input lag!! I removed it and now I am playing on fps_max 0 with 400-1100 FPS and everything feels so smooth, drastically improved, no input lag at all even when the fps drops. The stream works without that launch command aswell. I just wanted to let everyone know because I was suffering two months because of that launch input command thinking the stream wouldn‘t work without it.
Enjoy
I guess when people are thinking about capping FPS or not, they have to evaluate their hardware a bit. Capping your FPS only really seems to make sense when you have a really high end machine that gets well over 400 FPS
Thank you
Which fps_max value are you using for the uncapping? 0 or 999? They both have different effect on the performance.
Using RTSS is inconvenient for most players, another software to leave on.
I. Use 0
i have rt x 2060 but i still have microlags in csgo why?

@@MrMaxim Thanks great video!
i must say, uncapping the fps made stutters in some scenarios more noticeable, from 300 all the way down to 150, but then again i reinstalled windows and it could be that because of some bloatware i was having issues in the past. i havenot uncapped the fps as im happy with how smooth it is right now
Yeah uncapped fps stutters more... atleast for me
My laptop is a Lenovo Y520, it has an I7 6th gen I think, not sure, a GTX1050 and 8GB of ram, when I got it I used to get around 150fps, now I can only play with the game capped at 90, if I try to go over that for even 1fps I'll have FPS drops to 30fps for a few seconds every minute, it is unplayable, idk how I got to locking it at 90, it just works, which is weird cus my desktop runs the game at 150 with 16GB of ram, an i5 4th gen and a 750TI, it is just a better experience that my laptop even though the specs aren't as good, i have had tons of issues with the laptop, and I don't think I am buying anything from Lenovo so soon, especially gaming laptops, it still runs other stuff better than my desktop, like GTA and Apex which the desktop can't handle, but for CS I would take my weaker setup anytime, it's weird but at least I can average from 130 to 150fps there
MSI is good for laptops
I cap mine and I will keep capping it at 400 because during a gunfight nobody is getting 400+ fps lets just be real.. So by uncapping I will only get 600+ fps in spawns or when it doesn't matter, just letting my pc work harder for no reason. Capping your fps drastically lowers temps and loads on cpu/gpu. On cs it's not a huge deal but for most games it is.
i have fluctuating 60fps is it good i play in all low settings 640 480 and all fps tricks

the fluctuation can be fixed by capping fps.

If you have a 75hz Monitor, and Get Around 80 - 90 FPS
Then VSync Triple Buffering is your Option !
I have Low Budget PC and i've using the VSync for Years, makes my Gameplay Smoother ... (For me at least)
what does it mean capped fps and uncapped?
as someone who worked for big IT company's and 12 years of experience, it's pretty much never a good idea to let any program have unlimited frames
even fps_max 999 is better as fps_max 0
just look at your highest fps and cap it 100 fps higher or better lets say you get max. 500 fps and use a 144hz monitor multiply your hz number so you get a number over 500 fps for example 144 x 4 = fps_max 576
thats why i think the default option by valve is capping fps to 400 (399)

You do know that RTSS gives input lagg right?
If you use G-Sync on a 144hz monitor and you enable V-Sync in nvidia control panel for cs go, trust me it is very smooth. Okay, it caps your framerate at your monitor's max framerate, but constant 144 framerate is perfect for cs go , you get no stuttering at all and no fps drops. Just try it , for me the game is so much smoother with these settings than without it because if you use normal settings , fps can drop and you also get stuttering or lag at times , which it's very annoying.
True and you decide what is better for you no tearing/stuttering or best but not stable input lag.
I'm also using G-SYNC + V-SYNC and LLM Ultra to cap the fps. I have stable 3.7ms framerate and game is so smooth and in the same time I'm not torturing my pc.
@@majkooll these are my settings too. And another beautiful thing is that you can even increase your in-game resolution so you can see clearly if you got a decent GPU and still it doesn't affect the smoothness, which its just awesome and I think its already an advantage over those who use the other setttings.
This is facts
Hmmm limiting my fps to the 1% lows...
Never thought about that lel
I get 1053fps in cinebench map and if im playing with fps_max 960 sometimes it would just stutter
What would be better for a very low end computer which doesn't give much fps? Capped or uncapped?
there's still possible benefit to capping fps in low end PC, because the game engine compute at 64 frame per second you can make the screen matches the game engine by capping to 64fps (or if you can't achieve 64fps you can use a multiple of 64 like 32fps or 16fps). The benefit of matching your low-end PC's fps to a multiple of game engine's frame rate (eg: 64 or 128) is that you reduce wasteful interpolation on your GPU, and ensure at least a consistent latency between what you see and your action.
@@sety5591 thank you

If you have high fps drop, you should cap your fps, I already tested, high fps drops can cause stuttering if fps is uncapped, for example I can have 200+ fps on certain spots on map but my fps goes under 140 sometimes even more and that cause high var and game just stutter a lot, so before you uncap fps test your max fps for best performance.
i have same problem, in some parts of map 200+ but then just drops to 120 and var increace, idk should i cap it but i will test it
i cap my fps to 60 + triple buffer (cz i got 60hz monitor) really smooth and i finally able to be consistent, rather than leave it uncap, unstable fps and not smooth
you talking about all this stuff considering you/i have a 240hz monitor with g-sync or no ?
I play with a 360hz gsync capable monitor, so i prefer having Gsync on and consistent frametimes having it capped at 358, instead of having the extra milliseconds gained.

The thing that matter the most in csgo is the ping, the lag compensation algorithm works pretty terrible for high ping, especially 40+ms. It may sounds very subtle, but the feeling that which you play affects you a lot. FPS wise, any where between 200-300 is fine
fps_max 0 or fps_max 999? does it matter?

And here I am, capping my fps just for my laptop to not get too hot T_T. Having to consider my temperatures when gaming just feels bad man.
good video
should we use ultra low latency on nvidia?
That feature only work when your gpu is closing to 100% usage, under that it actually harm your latency. Csgo is cpu based games anyway, i suggest you leave it off.

for lower input lag yes.
i get screen tearing so I have to play with v-sync on.

capping does make sense if im trying to record csgo on a potato though

Generally speaking, no you shouldn't.
@@MrMaxim thank you Maxim
So should we do FPS_MAX 0 or do FPS_MAX 100 ?
If you cannot reach 400 FPS, just keep it at default value fps_max 400.
I limit mine because my laptop will over heat if I don't
60 hz monitor. I should still run at 300 fps?? My poor GPU is rendering frames that I don't even get to see
Another reason to limit the fps is to prevent screaming fans. Limiting your fps reduces power usage and thus heat.
But if your fans scream in pain you should rather clean them
Dont forget the coil whine from a revving GPU aswell
@@fjalls I like it when my gpu sings
@@user-jc2in3cp3g "Sings" is a quite odd description but hey, if you like it sure
My idea is that having more consistent input lag helps muscle memory, so i cap at 400.
no way jose, these ms in input lag are so little, that muscle memory doesnt even come into account here. would be the same as ping
While that might be true the difference is so small that random factors play a much bigger role (frametime spikes, ping, packet loss) and your consistency is gone
You are probably right, just me being paranoid. I still like the idea of having a smooth experience without big framedrops. While knowing my PC can breathe properly.
actually frames above 400 in csgo doesn't help atleast according to fr33thys testing
so how to uncap fps btw? fps_max 0?
Yes. Or if you can't reach 400 just leave your fps_max
Yes, that's how you uncap it.
