[Low FPS] RTX 3060 12GB + I5 12400F
I'm having trouble with CS2, i'm getting only 60~70 fps on game and I don't know what else I can do.

I have changed the energy plan to "maximun performance", tried the command "- threads 12" and "- high", tested with and without RTTS but nothing worked.




My specs:
  • CPU: Intel Core I5 12400F
  • GPU: RTX 3060 12Gb
  • RAM: 2x8 3200mhz
  • SSD: NVMe M2 1Tb Fury Renegade




In game settings:
  • Resolution: 1280x960
  • Aspect Ratio: 4:3
  • Display Mode: Fullscreen
  • V-Sync: Disabled
  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Disabled
  • NVIDIA G-Sync: Disabled
  • Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: 4x MSAA
  • Global Shadow Quality: High
  • Dynamic Shadows: All
  • Model / Texture Detail: Low
  • Texturing Filtering Mode: Trilinear
  • Shader Detail: Low
  • Particle Detail: Low
  • Ambient Occlusion: Disabled
  • High Dynamic Range: Quality
  • FidelityFX Super Resolution: Disabled (Highest Quality)

Global shadow and dynamic shadow Turn your settings to low
From what I can see, you're using an Nvidia graphics card.
Are you using the NVIDIA app?
I can only recommend enabling the NVIDIA overlay in the NVIDIA app.

Press ALT+Z.

Statistics -> Statistics Display ->
Enable the following:
FPS Frame Rate
FPS 1%

GPU Usage
GPU Voltage

CPU Usage
Average PC Latency

Take a close look at the values.
This will help you determine which PC components are slowing you down.

It sits around 100~120 fps with 25%~30% of GPU usage and 50%~60% CPU usage

From RivaTuner I see that the GPU is 30% average usage and CPU is 40~60% average.

Edit: Also tested in NVidia APP and it got the same results, 30% GPU and 50% CPU usage

did you fix it? i am experiencing the same issues on my laptop.
I wanted to get back on it, havent played since global offensive, which used to run just fine, but now cs2 just runs horribly, getting 40-60 fps with bad drops and stuttering, i tried ALL the settings, from low to high and I am still getting no results, so i am betting its software related. let me know if u find some sort of a magical fix, like some commands or some weird settings

I managed to get a bit more performance by reinstalling my NVIDIA drivers for the third time using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), now I'm getting around 90~110 fps. But the problem persists :/

This game requires a very good processor.

oh God, it feels so poorly optimised...i mean why can i get decent perfomance and visual quality in super demanding titles but not being able to play this at a stable 100-120 fps

something doesnt seem right, how are your CPU temps when you run the game for a bit?

The only thing I could highly recommend would be "QuickCPU" "Coderbag".

Do you happen to have a second monitor available?

1. Connect the 2nd monitor
2. Set both monitors to the same resolution
3. Download the program + install it
4. Start your game
5. Play to your main monitor - Launch "QuickCPU" monitor"2"
6.Look at "Utilization" below
Play a round of deathmatch & look at the individual CORES
7.
First of all, keep an eye on Power Plan. If you're lucky, you can change the Power Plan there as you wish. If you want to change something additionally, press ( battery symbol = power ). Be careful what you change there.
8. "Memory DATA" - System Memory ; Check it out.

Could be a thermally I don't know
Let's see if anyone has any tips
Do you have Nvidia control panel? (i think they were going to get rid of it but it's handy)

In it there's things like DSR factors that makes the game go at a high res then down scales it.

There's also low latency mode and max frame rate in there.

I would be careful with some of the settings though, When you move your mouse over each setting it gives you a small description.
