CS2 Optimization Is So Bad

[BoMNgu]

Hi I play CS2 on my laptop with R5 4600h and RTX 3050 4Gb vram, but when I checked with MSI afterburner, I discovered that my CPU is not running above 50% and the graphics card is only below 40% with 25 W, so is it because my laptop is not good or CS2 optimization is so bad?

Systemsettings-system and security-energyoption- change energy settings- minimum cpu and change the minimu value in % up to your own value. Maybe that could help you

That's because your CPU is the bottleneck here.
If it wasn't the case your GPU usage would be 100%.

Also it is normal if your CPU is not 100% used in games, since most game engines barely can use all cores and threads, even modern ones.
If CS2 uses 50% of your CPU it is the best it can use of it (for example my CPU is used for 20% in CS2), it is not related to the optimization.

Let me guess, did you PLUG in the power on the laptop while playing? if you don't then that's your fault. Laptops usually limit their speed when unplugged, battery saving or whatever. Besides, you better off keep plugging the power for now on than repeatedly unplugging and plugging the connector to the battery because of the battery cycle.

Plug your power cord into the laptop and try again.

Valve will fix the problem sooner or later, we should wait for our beloved developers to fix the lag and optimized it.

Yes, I always plug in my laptop's power source every time I play a game

They better notice it as soon as possible, it wasn't like this when I played the beta test

i have fps drop issue that makes me crazy , it was ok till last 50 days i think i had +280 fps , but now its 70-130 even lower :| ,reinstalled windows and formatted all the drivers before installing new windows , nothing changed , my performance benchmarks are ok , temp of cpu and gpu is ok , BUT...........
config: razer laptop i7 10750h 3070 16gb ram

Quick CPU > Speed settings >Unpark cores and set everything to 100% while play CS2

The game doesn't utilize all your cpu threads and doesn't even support hyper-v, thus your 6c/12t are barely used. Your additional threads are doing basically nothing. You could try using -threads x, where x represents number of your threads and see if it helps, but I highly doubt.

The interesting thing is that in the first versions of CS2 (including beta tests) my laptop still runs this game very well at over 200+ fps.

So what is the purpose of creating "gaming" laptops?
