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 :)
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.
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?
Very curious that the xl2546K has a worse scaler than the xl2546 (at 4 minutes into the video). I've been playing CS for over a decade and never knew the difference between GPU and display scaling. I didn't even know my 2546 had a scaler. Great video mate.
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
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.
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.
on amd gpu's you dont have to set much actually, its already good when it is on stock the only thing that is easy to change is in tuning tab. enable power tuning and move slider to max, in vram tuning change memory timing from default to fast timings. in gpu tuning set your min frequency to your max frequency (-100) for example if your max is 2600 then your min should be 2500
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
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
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 have this monitor : gpu scaling is smooth but i felt huge latency when getting swinged etc. I use custom res with display scaling with exact reduced timings and it feels better
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
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.
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 ?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
@@astrobackwards it does, but the benefit from additional smoothness can be greater than cons of additional input lag (better time to kill), based on system and monitor
-threads, this parameter does nothing now, or its marginal change - dont use it. Just disable HT (intel) or SMT (amd) if you have more than 8 cores, if less then test if it gives you better performance. -high, never use it in games, it sets game priority to high, this can result in game being unstable (avg fps are higher sometimes, but are unstable so 1% and 0.1% lows are much lower)
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?
Even with high end pc they come with so many apps and optimisation who will drain your gpu when we talk about FPS games… and will ruin your game. windows should be very light and clean from unnecessary apps . Now i do not know but i used to use Linux back in the days, and was brilliant x
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.
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.
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.
nvidia reflex reduces latency to the minimum no matter what settings you have, your latency is low on max settings 2k resolution average is 5.0 msec on low settings 1400x1080 average 4msec... Input lag input latency mouse keyboard to system Higher CPU FPS and GPU FPS helps to reduce latency now is monitor if it reduces input lag.. Example some monitors dyac on example is 3.1msec input lag, Oled monitor input lag is 0.1msec. Mouse latency click is 1msec at 8000hz Keyboard input latency is from 4msec to 15msec depends how much key u press in same time. So average pc latency to game is around 6 to 20msec, New oled 480hz asus one at full hd reduces input latency for 9msec vs 540hz TN panel.. Example TN 540hz is 19msec all together latency, while oled 11msec 480hz Normal if u have fastest gpu and cpu on the planet..

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.
try turning on v-sync and g-sync together, if only g-sync is on there will be strong screen tearing, compare with g-sync v-sync off
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.
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
thank you for the video.
what do you think about g-sync for cs2?
G sync adds input lag, turn it off for cs2
@@astrobackwards free-sync too ?
@@astrobackwards for freesync either ?
@@astrobackwards it does, but the benefit from additional smoothness can be greater than cons of additional input lag (better time to kill), based on system and monitor
@@astrobackwards gsync adds less than 1 ms (zero) of input lag if configured properly. G-SYNC 101 | Blur Busters check it out.
for start options i would use -high and -threads, or is it bad?
-threads, this parameter does nothing now, or its marginal change - dont use it. Just disable HT (intel) or SMT (amd) if you have more than 8 cores, if less then test if it gives you better performance.
-high, never use it in games, it sets game priority to high, this can result in game being unstable (avg fps are higher sometimes, but are unstable so 1% and 0.1% lows are much lower)
Nvidia reflex on+boosts feels weird because it gives mouse input delay for some reason. Probably very poorly implemented in cs2
i tried these settings and it looks and feels horrible ?
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
Even with high end pc they come with so many apps and optimisation who will drain your gpu when we talk about FPS games… and will ruin your game. windows should be very light and clean from unnecessary apps . Now i do not know but i used to use Linux back in the days, and was brilliant x
what about AMD gpu's?
Hello, can you please give advice about model X monitors from benq for example xl2546X. Display or gpu? Thanks in advice
i play gpu for months and changed it last week to display. All i can say display feels much better. (XL2546X)
not enough data on it sadly, u should test both options yourself and see what feels better
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.
the 7950x3d definitely a trickier CPU to setup because of the core parking.
Why ? I'm using core parking software both box check on 100% with proceslasso everything good
Samsung Odyssey G4 gpu or display?
what about pg27aqn 360hz monitor what should i use for scaling??
Samsung Odyssey G4 240hz + RX6900XT = GPU Scaling or Display? tia
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.
r7 5700x rtx 4070 6-10ms
@ ok , ty
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.
I have question, i have i9 13900k and 4090. But only get max 400 fps. On 4:3. Is this normal?
Imo you should be getting 380-470 depending on map and situation.
nvidia reflex reduces latency to the minimum no matter what settings you have, your latency is low on max settings 2k resolution average is 5.0 msec on low settings 1400x1080 average 4msec...
Input lag input latency mouse keyboard to system Higher CPU FPS and GPU FPS helps to reduce latency now is monitor if it reduces input lag.. Example some monitors dyac on example is 3.1msec input lag, Oled monitor input lag is 0.1msec. Mouse latency click is 1msec at 8000hz Keyboard input latency is from 4msec to 15msec depends how much key u press in same time. So average pc latency to game is around 6 to 20msec, New oled 480hz asus one at full hd reduces input latency for 9msec vs 540hz TN panel.. Example TN 540hz is 19msec all together latency, while oled 11msec 480hz Normal if u have fastest gpu and cpu on the planet..
ı have Asus ROG Strix XG259QN 360 OC(380) gpu or display nvidia settings ?
Optimize YOUR OWN PC.
I had Windows Update, then I restarted the PC, then I immediately had a blue screen, then I completely reinstalled the PC, then everything worked, I played Hunters and during the match I got a blue screen, exactly the same😂😂😂😂 I just thought because it happened to me from the cheese
