Re: CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)


Same here, I used to notice a big difference when I played on different connections. One time I tried switching from my apartment's regular broadband to my neighbor's FTTH (they let me test for a day), and the hit registration improved noticeably. Made me realize how much packet loss was affecting ...

Re: The Never-Ending Desync Nightmare – Looking for Possible Guidance

Most important stuff for me (after 7 years of testing):
1. Try a usb ethernet dongle instead of your onboard NIC
2. Try actually allowing windows update install the gpu driver for you. Yeah, I know that the general consensus is to wipe through DDU and then manually install, but I swear to god it's ...

Re: Realtek Gaming 2.5gbe Family Controller Network Lag/Delay

I switched from an nvidia 1060 3gb to 1660super (I only play cs2 so I was starting to get FPS drops on the 1060 3gb), but now the 2024 driver is better (for the USB ethernet dongle), so you have to test for yourself

Re: Realtek Gaming 2.5gbe Family Controller Network Lag/Delay





I came across this topic by accident. I also have a built-in realtek 2.5, and I also see a delay in CS2. I bought a 1 GB realtek usb and it has the lowest input latency with Windows 11 drivers. I don't understand why this is so, the usb card lacks settings such as interrupt moderation and ...

Re: CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)


Hello
Tinkerer - How can i contact u?

You can just send me a PM here


I've been in the same boat, trying different tweaks to improve my CS2 experience. Internet connection plays a huge role, but sometimes it's not enough, especially when facing highly skilled opponents. What helped me more was ...

Re: CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)


I found my way here and giggle because 1) you are probably spinning in circles attempting to find cause 2) other people experience something similar. I've had the problem in all CS and IMO it's my internet. Charter/spectrum. I use fq_codel to get A+ bufferbloat, otherwise, it's D/F. Despite ...

Re: CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)

Just some food for thought.

Raiz (a big Russlan CSGO youtuber) posted a video about input lag

https://youtu.be/WN3THI5W1Cs (no English subs, unfortunately)

And at 7:03, founder of Insilio gaming talks about how he switched apartments and his game became much smoother.

So we're not stupid tinfoil ...

Re: CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)


go with higher refresh rate, 144hz is low for cs2 to run fluent nevertheless. Even 224fps cap is so so to handle fast moves, 260 at 280hz feels noticably better. Unfortunatelly, 360 or even 390hz is tricky to keep stable fps even at 7800X3D with beefy GPU. Its doable but you need to tune your PC ...
