Cs2 mirco stuttering (ms-spikes) Help needed

[Lukas_]

You've mentioned you have a external sound card, which model is it and what interconnect are you using with it?

using Creative Sound Blaster HD connceted via USB, not even sure if this device supports the higher speeds ports on my board. its very old tho
looking forward to upgrade but not sure what to chose. need some kind of higher end interface (Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro 250 Ohm).
also sound is very important for me

I have the same thing in the game rust when changing weapons the ms goes up and fps drops this is due to the latest bios drivers I installed the 2024 bios and everything became fine

I was running into the same issue yesterday (I hadn't played CS2 recently so this might have been a problem for a while) and I can confirm RTSS was the issue for me. I got this frame time graph by just opening aim_botz and strafing left and right.

I then noticed I didn't experience the stutters after removing -allow_third_party_software, which made me suspect RTSS was the issue, since I was using it as an FPS limiter. So I tried re-adding -allow_third_party_software and setting Application detection level to None in RTSS, and that also fixed the stutters. (Note that simply disabling the FPS limiter didn't solve it)

The annoying part is that CapframeX uses RTSS so I still get the microstutters when it's running, meaning I can't provide a direct before/after graph. (Although it's easy to tell the stutters are gone by looking at the max frame time value in CS2, as it will no longer jump to ~20ms every few seconds)

Maybe there's some setting I need to change in game or in RTSS but I can't be bothered to do more troubleshooting for now.

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
• GPU: PNY RTX 3060 Ti LHR
• Motherboard: GIGABYTE X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI
• Memory: 2x16GB @ 3200MT/s (CMK32GX4M2B3200C16)

This is a known issue with RTSS and CS2. You need to tick Custom3d and StealthMode to ON with RTSS. Also add -allow_third_party_software in CS2 launch options.
