How to disable Multicore Rendering.

[76561198359424792]

I was installing some cfgs and stuff to make csgo less laggier it my laptop, i tried to disable multicore rendering in the settings but it keeps reverting back even though i clicked apply.

i tried disabling in-game it still doesnt work.

PLeaSe helP mE.

Check your "cfgs and stuff" for an option that reenables multicore rendering

Why would you want less performance for cs?

[El_Hood]

Also multicore rendering should stay enabled anyway, as you will get more fps with it enabled in almost every scenario

you sure? (look what in-game tool tip says)



do you have anything in lunch options added?
if not go to
:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\00000000\730\local\cfg
where “00000000” is your steam ID and
delete video.txt and videodefault.txt.

This tool tip is outdated (As is the option as a whole) It stems from the very beginnings of the source engine, when dual core CPUs were something exotic. At this point they might aswell remove it as it only confuses some users.

Yeah in 99.9% of all cases you should let multicore rendering enabled!

There are two cases why it always changes back:
1. It's set like this in the launchoptions
2. Your video.txt file is read-only (ever, change you make ingame will only work as long you don't restart the game)

you will very likely have more fps if you use singelcore rendering if you play on lowest settings.
a lot of ppl play on lowest possible settings ( ppl play csgo 1024x769 res like pro players)
and if you rly hc player you go to bios and disable hyperthreading option for your cpu

and if you're really really hard core, take out a stick of ram.

yes, you can-it may help in some scenarios.

but to the point, im just sayin that if you are talkin bout multicore rendering you should take those ppl as an option too. and its not that easy as it seems cos multico rerenfering has more states/switches than simple on/off.

[herrkac]

its not realy that hardcore its just how source engine works, you want to have 300+ fps because of input lag (its tight to fps).
switching from trilnear filtering to aniso will tax you 10 ms mouse input lag-its not nothing if you keep in mind cs go is competitive game

and no, i dont play cs go on 1024x748 streched resolution

You are extremely unhelpful.

there is already solution in this thread so why google?(you didnt even read it, did you?)
looks like op is afk

i found the solution!
i checked the cfgs and found the suspect: mat queue mode 2, i set it to 0 and BAM! it works

In general disabling multi core rendering can lower total input to output lag at the cost of frame rate. Cores have to communicate with each other, which depending on CPU architecture can produce more or less of additional lag.

Competitive players with fast CPU's will often lower CPU dependent settings to lowest and switch off multicore rendering.

In my case on Macbook with M1 CPU, I play on 2560x1600 (or 1280x800 with 4x MSAA) resolution since GPU handles it easily, but I have set nearly every other setting to very low. With multi-core enabled I get 91 fps average, with single core I get 89 fps average. I do however subjectively feel mouse being more responsive with single core rendering, and frankly I would not want to play with multi-core enabled, cause input lag is already high due to CS GO not being designed natively for M1 CPU's, and I speculate translation layer from x86 architecture is adding some extra lag.
