System Requirements for CS2

[MARTY]

Here are my Laptop performance stats... will this be good enough to run CS2?

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

[Lt. William L. Calley]

Just compare you current performance of CS1 which has a recommended gpu of a 550 and I struggle to run that at 30fps on 2060.

Let's say, it might *probably* run - but very likely only at very low resolutions as you don't have a dedicated graphics card and share your memory with the integrated gpu of your i7 (and CS2 needs a lot of memory for the GPU part).
And most likely not very fast as your integrated GPU is missing a lot of features.

32GB Ram. We are truly living in the worst of times.

My Graphics Card is: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

Probably on medium settings at 1080p resolution to be honest. Your ram is very good, but your processor is really weak. Your graphics card is only slightly better than GTX 1060. I'd say about 29% better than GTX 1060.

As a result medium-low would be your best bet. For a better performance.

Did you just say words for the sake of saying them? You clearly have no idea what you just said.

Probably game will run just fine with empty map. Once 1 building starts popping up your fps will drop.

Hi guys. I am concerned about System Requirements also, and plan to play game on my laptop. Here are it's specs:

- Windows 11 64-bit OS
- AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX @ 3.30 GHz
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 16GB VRAM
- 64GB System RAM

I usually play games at native res 2560*1440, never used Ray Tracing and such. I usually care more for performance compared to graphic quality. Thoughts appreciated :)

Yeah, you're a clown. That's my thoughts. You damned well that's over the recommended specs, partial specs are over the recommended.

The cpu`s low base clock rate and the small 12MB cache are the downsides, also on the ram memory front you could improve greatly.

A dedicated decktop pc graphics card for $500 would be a huge boost too, let's say at least 5 times faster.

In the beginning, most city builders run smoothly.

On a well-built $1500 - $2000 desktop, you could achieve up to 3x the game performance.

If you want to build or buy a desktop, come back and we will help you with recommending parts, my friend

If you play on your notebook, then play plugged into the grid.
You can deactivate Intel hyperthreading ( its virtual cores ) and if you take your battery out, you will have a little less heat barrier.

Playing at 5 Celsius room temperature, having the notebook stand on a 10-kilo metal plate surface, would help a bit too.

I once suffered 3rd degree leg burns with a $3000 gaming noebook, through wearing jeans.

With a different notebook machine, the battery got like flubber... you could bend the heated battery at a 25-degree angle as if it were a plastic explosive.

I don't open notebooks, as it's all flimsy stuff inside, but if you could...It would be best to remove the notebook case, basically just having a keyboard connected to the open laid-out hardware.

I have pc mainboards laid around open, without pc case + 2 kilo aircooler on the cpu. Water stuff is too messy for me.

So, that was enough time now with the steam forums now.
Happy gaming!

He runs just fine, for now, with better GPU but CPU is much older than yours.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3060 OC
RAM: Patriot Extreme Performance Viper 3 32GB
MOBO: ASUS Z87-PRO ATX
SSD: Samsung Basic 840-Series 250GB
GFX settings: High
Resolution: 1920x1080

City looks big, I was surprised to see only 5k pop count. Maybe in CS2 they reduced number of occupants per building.

I also have 1660Ti but during this month I'll upgrade to 4070 12gb. My i5 10600k and 32 gb will have to run in OC mode supported by Z490 motherboard. Hopefully this will be enough cuz for 12th+ gen CPU motherboard must be upgraded too which I wish to avoid for at least 2 more years cuz all except GPU is less than 3yrs old and still under warranty.

In future would be better to go for desktop PC, CPU which number ends with "k" so you can overclock it when you need extra performance or to reduce bottleneck on new GPU, or spend x2 more money for good gaming laptop.

Here is a CPU impact on FPS calculator for those who plan to upgrade GPU only.

Playing on a notebook is always a compromise in computing parts, energy input/power consumption and Celsius thermals.

If possible, playing a city builder with a desktop pc, will be a much greater experience IMHO.
