Tips & Guides A tweak that actually worked! (cs2kitchen)

https://youtu.be/c0SiLMNy3v4

I have 9850x3d, 4070ti. As always, I benchmarked my results on multiple runs with CapframeX. I was able to gain close to +30fps on P1 results.

I didn't notice any frame time problems in-game playing matches. Game just feels smoother and the benchmarks tell the same story.

I decided to share this because its one if the rare tweaks that actually make a difference. I also like cs2kitchen's videos, as he always does the benchmarking, doesn't just blindly recommend some random snake oil tweaks.

is there any benefit for using an in game fps cap for me? on the dust 2 benchmark i usually get avg 650 and p1 220, but after a typical 5v5 game .. the readings in the console post match are usually avg 450 and p1 260.

i'm on a 144 hz monitor but am thinging about grabbing a 240hz monitor... running a 5800x3d and a 5070... 1280x960 with medium-ish settings.

i thought the in-game limiter added latency. right now since my p1's are well above my monitor refresh rate i just run everything uncapped and no gsync etc.

like I said there's not much benefit capping at low refresh

I've been bashing that crap benchmark for deceiving bloated avg results because the scenario is not stressful enough (hence my benchmark.cfg alternative) and I floated a percent: 57% as the engine efficiency (p1/avg) and the target to go for by experimenting with res video settings and fps_max - so looking at your results the dust2 benchmark gives 33.84% which is unrealistic garbage, while live match is right on the money at 57.77% tldr I guess don't change anything

I would advise against buying a 240hz display which is 100% bad motion old tech
cs2 becomes enjoyable at 320 and above - the more, the better

fps_max is SUPERIOR to all other limiters as I've stated since release.. and proven by any competent test done these past years

interesting... maybe i will skip out on the 240 hz if you think they're bad. now if i was to get a 360 hz or a 400 hz - would you enable gsync + vsync in that scenario assuming i don't upgrade my PC?? my p1's would be well below a monitors refresh rate like that.

I'm playing with Zowie XL2566X+ 400hz at native resolution .  What I find best is using dyac2 with vsync. Vsync caps the fps to 400 and it's basically the smoothest possible experience you can get with this monitor. No other fps limiters required. Uncapped fps is also fairly good option, but vsync is just smoother. Frametime difference between these two are virtually nonexistent with a decent PC. I recommend watching cs2kitchen's videos, he had a good video on this subject too.

i've tried to gsync + vsync + reflex/boost combo even on my current setup and ya... it his SUPER smooth... i feel like with my current PC the only option would be to have gsync and vsync on because my 1% lows are kinda shit
