How to Boost FPS in CS2?

Optimize Your CS2 Settings for Maximum FPS

While CS2 has gone through several performance optimizations you can always squeeze a little bit extra tweaking the game and Windows settings. In this article, we will take you around all the settings that might help you get the best FPS out of CS2 in 2024.

Video settings

Via CS2
  • Display Mode: Fullscreen
  • Refresh Rate: Maximum
  • Laptop Power Savings: Disabled

Pick the lowest resolution possible for you without compromising your ability to view distant objects. Having a low resolution puts lower stress on your hardware resulting in better performance. Choose the one that doesn’t hamper your visibility but do fiddle with the available ones to get the best out of it.

Advanced Video Settings

Via CS2
  • Boost Player Contrast: Enabled
  • Wait For Vertical Sync: Disabled
  • Current Video Values Preset: Custom
  • Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: None
  • Global Shadow Quality: Low
  • Model / Texture Quality: Low
  • Texture Filtering Mode: Bilinear
  • Shader Detail: Low
  • Particle Detail: Low
  • Ambient Occlusion: Disabled
  • High Dynamic Range: Performance
  • Fidelity FX Super Resolution: Depends on your system specs. If you have a low-end system, go for performance.
  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled + Boost

While these are meant to give you the best possible FPS. Certain settings can alter your visibility in the game. Having the lowest possible Global Shadow Settings gives you better FPS, but having it on High will let you see shadows thus giving you a competitive advantage.

The same goes for Sader Details where having it on “Low” gives you better FPS but “High” will let you see through Molotovs and smoke in certain conditions thus granting you an edge over your opponents.
