Does your internet download speed(and not your ping/latency) affect gaming @ CSGO

[The Toi Doi Experience]

Hey guys!

I was wondering does your internet download speed affect the quality of gaming for CSGO?
My latency is perfect <10ms on most servers but my internet speed is capped at 1 megabit per second. Will upgrading to say 2/3 megabits improve the quality of gaming?

Thanks and regards!

no it doesn't.

Your ping matters a lot more than your download / upload speed.

I know that since I have a neighbor with 0.8 / 0.017 mB/s download/upload speeds, he has ping 35-40 in csgo, meanwhile I have 20/6 mB/s download/upload speeds, my ping is 50-60 in csgo.


So no, your connectivity is the only thing that matters for csgo. If you're planning to get higher download / upload speed in order to get better ping in csgo, no, that won't help.

Thought so.

The only reason why I asked is because CSGO has various options(under game settings) regarding your width.

Was wondering what that was about.
