CS2 What Is The Best Setup

[Carioca1]

Hi I am trying to follow these steps, in the end you say that we should make a custom resolution with a custom refresh rate. Can I leave the refresh rate as it is and just cap my fps ? Or what should I use to set that custom refresh rate ?

Hello Irvinboy,

May I ask what your system looks like (CPU, GPU, RAM) and also if you already benchmarked some of your matches (alternatively, you can use the workshop DUST2 benchmark map) using CapeframeX?
What were your 1% fps lows on average?
What is your max refreshrate on your monitor?

Generally, what you want to do, is set your refreshrate to: Hz = 1% low fps. Since setting Hz > 1% lows can make the game feel stuttery and un-smooth, well at least for me (and many others out there as well).

That is for example for me on my system i9-13900K + RTX 4080 + 6600 MT/s CL32 around 250 fps for the 1% lows (measured over CapeframeX). Thus, I set the refreshrate to 250Hz because I want my game to feel smooth. I did that using ToastyX CRU 1.5.2 utility. There you can set a custom resolution and/or refreshrate.

However, depending on your 1% low fps and panel, it may be a different ideal refreshrate for you.

Thank you very much for the reply.

My specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700
Graphic Card: NVIDIA RTX 3080
Ram: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 CL 16
Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G7 27 inch 240Hz

First I have benchmarked with Dust2 map and I got this: FPS: Avg=377.3, P1=145.5
Then as you said in your post before, I tried with CapFrameX in 2 maps Mirage and Ancient. Nvidia Reflex on, v-sync off, Graphics all low except 2xMsaa, High Dynamic Range Quality, and Fidelity Disabled.

Mirage:

Ancient:

As you can see on the images attached the gpu deviation was >55%.
Then I tried tweaking with highs and medium graphics, and max I could bring it down was 52%, like for example here:
High graphics, dust2:

I find it pretty hard to bring down this gpu busy deviation, any tips what I can do ?

Thanks for the help.

In EU setup is irrelevant these days (faceit is no better)... Unless you play at 4am.
