Hello everyone!!
Nice to join this awesome community
I have amd 7 7800x3d , gpu 4070 super , ram 6000 with EXPO enable , monitor benq xl2540 240 hertz
What should i use in cs2?
Some ppl say gsync,vsync,reflex
other noreflex
other no vsync,sync
Thanks in advance!!
The answer to your question requires a few sub-questions:
• Do you prefer using Dyac? (flicker/impulse-based approach)
• Do you prefer not using Dyac? (sample & hold approach)
Considering that your base vertical frequency (refresh rate) is way too low to use Nvidia's automatic frame rate limiter, which gets applied when using GSYNC&VSYNC&Reflex in conjuction with each other, I suggest that you try for one of these 2 approaches:
Impulse-based approach
Dyac=Premium
AMA=High or Premium (2 concrete preset overdrive settings)
Nvidia's 'Max Frame Rate' limter set to 480FPS or higher OR fps_max 0
Nvidia Reflex (in-game toggle)=Enable
I suggest against enabling
Nvidia's Ultra Low Latency Mode in the Nvidia Control Panel, as it's meant to be used in games which don't implement Reflex (which uses in-game data to keep the render queue depth < 1 & thus eliminate what's referred to as 'GPU limited' scenarios)
Pros:
+Severe eye-tracked motion blur reduction (to ~800Hz)
+FPS>=Hz scenario eliminates the timing mismatch backlight strobing motion visual degradation
+Low render latency due to high frame time target
Neutral:
-'Tearing' (mismatch between frametime & refresh rate) artifacts may be unappealing
Cons:
-Light flicker from global scan backlight strobing (DyAc) can be a eye-strain concern.
-Additional processing latency penalty may occur

Sample & hold based approach
Dyac=Off
AMA=High or Premium
Nvidia's 'Max Frame Rate' limter set to 480FPS (or to a value you can consistently get with your rig) OR fps_max 0
Nvidia Reflex (in-game toggle)=Enabled
Pros:
+No processing latency overhead from backlight strobing
+Low render latency due to high frame time target
+No rapid light flicker from backlight strobing
Neutral:
-'Tearing' (mismatch between frametime & refresh rate) artifacts may be unappealing
Cons:
-4,17ms pixel visibility time ('persistence') is still too blurry for some, most noticable when spraying
Here's a similar write-up I've done to above, but for frame rate locked games:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14912#p118346
General notes:
I'd suggest only considering the use of the GSYNC&VSYNC&Reflex combination only on +540Hz TN models, as they have sufficiently high refresh rate to encapsulate the general frame rate values you'll be on when using a X3D-based microprocessor in CS2.
For CS2, from my rudimentary 'evaluation' using RTSS' reflex.ovl overlay preset:
fps_max (internal frame rate limiter), RTSS Reflex & Nvidia's Max Frame Rate (referred to colloquially as “NvLimiterV3”) are the only 3 options which don't affect the metric called
“Nvidia Reflex Sim-to-Render Latency” (in reflex.ovl) with an additional frame of added latency. To word it differently — there is no added 'frame of latency' overhead with these 3 above.
This above was done with NVidia Reflex (in-game toggle)=Enabled.
I don't know whether the same behavior applies when Reflex is toggled off, as NvLimiterV3 behaves differently when Reflex isn't enabled.
Other external limiters (RTSS front-edge & back-edge, RTSS async) increase the
“Nvidia Reflex Sim-to-Render Latency” by 1 or 2 frames of added latency.
Special-K is not usable, as most users who play CS2 use FaceIT, which is a kernel-level access anti-cheat client.
