any tricks to boost fps in cs2?

[charlize]

are there any tricks to boost fps in cs2?

i’ve updated all my drivers and bios.

my hardware:

- rx6600
- r7 3700x
- 16gb 2133mhz (i was told that it should be possible to oc the ram with a option in the bios?)
- win11

i disabled fullscreen optimization in the cs2.exe properties which boosted about 15 fps!

i was told that disabled SVM and enabling REBAR would boost fps but this doesn’t work for me.

In the BIOS Enable XMP/AMP for your DRAM so it runs at the correct speed.

What I've heard is that the viewmodels in CS are quite unoptimized/taxing for rendering and the smaller the viewmodel, the less things there is to render (frustum culling) and the more fps it should have.

When it comes to hardware. The first thing is to adjust the speeds and timings of your RAM. You want it to run at 3600-3800MHz in sync with the Infinity Fabric.

make sure windows desktop res is set to the display res
and make sure game res is also set to the same res

vsr/dsr will make the gpu draw it at a higher res and downscale it to display res
make sure those are disabled

Get expo or xmp settings in the BIOS, that will help the most with your current system

Not really. Anyone who plays CS would play in maybe a 4:3 or 5:4 res as this will give a decent FPS boost.

Find a kit of ram that can run expo or xmp. = +50fps

Most likely the RAM is like 3200 just showing 2133 because XMP/AMP is not enabled. You don't need RAM with EXPO. That's more for Ryzen B550/B650/X670 boards

i have a b450m pro4 mobo, what voltage(because it show the number in red(1.350)) and what do have to set in the DRAM timing configuration?

You don't set any of that stuff. All you do is DRAM XMP = Enabled (or Profile #)
And then save & exit the BIOS.

XMP/AMP/EXPO once applied will set the correct freq, voltage and timings for your RAM, that's the whole point.

i did that already, np.

and what about my cpu?

how likely is it that my ram overheats or melts or anything other bad happens?

my ram is: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop RAM Kit, Blac

Only the most hardcore. One of the best uses 16.9 stretched i think. Its crazy but its not new. In cs 1.6 ran 800x600@100hz but many pros used 640x480. All to make the target bigger and more easy to hit.


Its an easy concept, As they say you need to hit a pixel. So go half your resolution, And scale to fit the screen. Now each pixel is duplicated. Your chance to hit that pixel is increased by 100%. Which is a crazy metric for any athlete. But then the game looks ugly, And becomes a chore. On the upside the game is less bottlenecked and with soaring fps you also will inprove. So its a double whammy.

the only reason why i still didn't go lower than my current res(1920x1440 4:3 stretched) is that a very common res like 1280x960 4:3 stretched looks so incredible bad for me personally but it boosts the fps heavily!

You need the pixels to divide correctly. In multiples. Of 2x 4x etc and the same aspect ratio as native. Reverse of nvidia dsr basically.

how do i do that exactly? i have an amd gpu and cpu.

Idk if its even possible with non crts anyways. You would need to have exactly half the native res. So when it scales it fills in the rest by copying. So half res doubling each pixel equals a full screen.


Dsr does this, try a custom res. Whatever the display is, half the resolution and set that as windows. Then allow the gfx card to scale it. On a 1080p 500hz esports display this would mean running:

960x540@500hz
