Most games require users to optimise based on their own hardware and CS2 will be no different

Lol they were already trying to do damage control I saw an article said something like "We have not gotten performance to where we really wanted it at so expect that at release it will not be performing the best" hopefully they will get it better not too long after release.

Side note I would say Anno 1800 looks better than this and the size of this city in the video is smaller than the citie I got in Anno and that game plays at 4k 60fps Max and FSR Quality, I know I know different game different engine but still they definitely got some work to do here.

Oh here's the article is anyone wants to read it.

Remember he was playing on a machine at the entry point for the game - but it was playable

Minimum System Requirements:
3090

16GB RAM

Recommended System Requirements:

T.B.A.
(Not available in Stores until 2028.)

Can't wait for average '1500 dollars PC Joe' to read their review here on CS2.

Hell even Youtuber 'Raptor's 3500+ Dollars PC was hitting 25fps with a population below 10K in his stream. And 'Worth a Buy' was left with a powerpoint presentation @1080p on potatoe settings.

The ♥♥♥♥-show will starts in T-minus 3 days. Well done Paradox shareholders.

It uses a 2080ti, not exactly an entry level card, and in the video he says it looks really good. Not sure about you but to me it looks bad. Not the worst in the whole world but quite bad.

Yea, increase the hardware requirements so you don't have to painstakingly optimise the game. Great solution...

49.99, but hey.. I know.. Math is hard. Especially when it's written on the Steam store.

Really, do they really look great to you?. To me it that image[i.imgur.com] doesn't look remotely close to mediocre, Several areas look like a "pixel salad" where it's very hard to tell what's going on. And the trees? man, if you tell me they they look great... XDDD, then I don't know what to say to that.

Also it's taken around the time when he says that the game looks great. Not before and not after.
