Launch option: mat_queue_mode

[The Senate]

So I found out that launch option +mat_queue_mode 2 can boost fps on some PCs, but a post on the csgo subreddit suggests 2 and -2 both work, even though I never heard of -2. And the default is -1.
I have a potato PC and I used to have 70 fps on D2 until I began adding launch options and changing my video settings.
Using the FPS Benchmark map from the workshop with 64 tickrate, here are my results:

2 ~ 40++
-1 (default) ~ 42++
-2 ~ 43++

Most of the comments in the subreddit suggest that -2 is more desirable, but I have no idea if that's true.
My final fps is between 100 and 105 max on D2, only in tunnels, when I use any of the above settings.

So which setting should I go with? Should I just remove this launch option as it does not affect my gameplay at all?
Sorry for the long post

AFAIK it should be mat_queue_mode 2 not -2 which should force the game to initialize all cores at launch but generally this tweak would better suit people with a quad-core cpu like an intel i5 where the game didn't intitialize more than 2 or 3 cores anyway.
Since it isn't affecting you at all I would leave it on -1.

My cpu is quad core; i5-3330S 2.7 ghz

-1 is autodetect, -2 an alternative autodetection method, 2 forces multicore rendering to be used. It shouldn't make a noticeable difference, as long as multicore rendering is being used.

In that case have -threads 4 and -mat_queue_mode 2 listed in launch options and you'll be safe. BTW have you setup an autoexec and tweaked general stuff like rate settings for your connection?

Threads 4 gets useless when u put in mat_queue_mode 2...
his rates doesnt improve the fps and its not needed if he dont Play on non offical servers

Its ok guys. Im satisfied with my fps now.
I put in -threads 4 and +mat_queue_mode -2 and now im peaking at 120

Yeah thats weird on https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/List_of_CS:GO_Cvars it doesn't show -2 as being an option. Will test it myself later though I have it on 2 currently.

Firstly it doesn't cause an error to have them both in launch options or even if you had it in the video.txt file thats why I said just to be safe.
Secondly having an autoexec in general should help with a smoother gameplay experience in CSGO especially settings for connection and stuff like cl preload.................some of the stuff actually does increase fps so your wrong bud. Also how do you know he doesnt use any community servers or 128tick servers?
