For those who says "UPGRADE YOUR HARDWARE."

Source 1 was very old engine that works on DX9 and can't utilize modern CPUs well. I understand that.
But Source 2 is newer engine and supports DX11. So, it should be better when it comes to CPU utilization.

Source 2 is released in 2015.
My hardware is released in 2016-2017 era. (GTX1060, Ryzen 1600)
I have 16 GB DDR4 Dual Channel, NVME SSD as well.
So, we can accept my hardware as mid range for the engine which built in 2015. But I can't play the game properly.
So, do you still think my hardware is ancient?

As far as I remember; I had much better experience when playing BF1 and BFV although they run on Denuvo, have up to 64 players and better graphics.

CS2 is unfinished game and has serious performance issues. That's it.
Stop always blaming the hardware of the users.

neither bf1 or BF5 have denuvo what are you on

I got 250-300 FPS in 1440P and my PC is mid range at best.

source 1 didnt use your gpu at all and heavily relied on your cpu.
performance in csgo came down to how many frames can your cpu throw at your gpu which by 2023 you could reach 1000fps

source 2 has gone through many improvements and overhauls since 2015's dota 2 reborn update it really wasnt even fully complete back then. i'd say half life alyx was the first real showing of what it could do.

Source 2 now splits the performance between your gpu and cpu meaning you now actually need a good dedicated gpu to hit those super high framerates again.
you take a bit of a performance hit pure framerate wise but now you get a bunch of benefits from not being super cpu bound anymore.
one of them being the new sound engine.

I get about 200-250 fps in MM on medium settings at 1080p. RTX 2060 + ryzen 4500 here. How much fps do you want? I think Anything equal or above 60 makes for a playable experience in any title. When CS2 launched for all in limited test, I was getting only 160 in mm and the lag was severe, that was frustrating. But its come a long way since then, from bottom frags in DM to back on the leaderboards.

Although this doesn't mean the game is without it's flaws. I do believe they have to fix the game not using multiple cores and also improve general performance. But not in terms of fps, more in terms of eliminating any delay.

Older hardware I would consider is when someone told me they play CSGO on a GT610. That's ancient hardware. They really need to upgrade. But a 1060 + 1600 should be giving you about 70-100 fps in casual and 120-140 in MM i'm sure.... if not. then that is very surprising.

Yes, gpus have come a long way. You are running a low tier 10 series, there have been 16, 20,30 and now 40 series cards. So yes, it is dated

200+ fps at cheapest gaming CPU ryzen 7600 and some crappy gpu 4070ti. im gaming at 2k screen. Original CSGO was laggy for me with alot of shuttering, this new one is almost perfect. No clue why people complain so much.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

I do get stutter on my 30 series, not sure if it is server or my settings I’ll play around over the weekend and know for sure

is the game installed on a hard drive?

[It's Chase]

A Ryzen 1600 is slower than an old i7 4790 from 2013, so yeah it's not the game, it's your hardware holding you back.

No. It's in SSD.
