Something that helped me a lot lately

[mackalren]

So I did tremendous amount of different tweeks, manipulations etc.

Running fresh r7 9800x3d + 6000cl30 + asus rox x870e hero + 3060 ti from my old intel build

Monitor : benq xl2566k

Currently I'm on almost non-tweeked kirbyOS, latest non-beta version.

I've always had visibility issues in cs2 when I move my mouse, basically playing, I struggled to notice enemy on my screen due to very unsmooth gameplay on display. I also have hit-reg and peek issues.

So I've never did but yesterday tried to set my nvidia display settings to this:

Before I used to be on GPU. Difference is great, the image is clearer, better quality and smoother.

It is not placebo, since I instantly I asked a friend to try it, who doesn't know anything about the topic of input lag and so on. He was shocked by the difference. He have XL2566X+


After that today I tried something I found here on the forum:

It's gave me more responsiveness and now I feel game much better, still not ideal but huge jump from what I had lately.

Even though you set it to scale on Display, this still uses GPU scaling.
Also, KirbyOS is okay but MouseDataQueueSize and KeyboardDataQueueSize are set to 200, meaning there is some added delay compared to the Windows default value (100) and the usual tweaked numbers (16-25) are also much better. I think you got into the territory where added lag causes everything to feel smoother but I can almost guarantee it won't last long.

Nah, it's not like placebo or 50% placebo, it's 100% different image on my screen with display scaling instead of gpu in nvidia. 1280x960 feels like 1440x1080 in terms of image quality.
