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

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

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 my shots.
The thing is, my internet was always fine according to different tests, I had good upload/download speed, minimal jitter/bufferbloat but it's like I had a constant buffer.

usb ethernet dongle for internet, GPU drivers installed through windows update (instead of DDU->manual install, yeah, it's not the consensus but this is still miles better for me), CS2 fullscreen windowed (also really important, makes inputs a bit laggier but at least my POV is less delayed
