๐ŸŽฎ How to Increase FPS in CS2 โ€” Best Settings for Low-End PCs

Experiencing FPS drops in CS2? No need to buy a new PC just yet. This guide covers proven ways to boost performance: graphics tweaks, console commands, launch options โ€” all tested and working in 2025!

โš™๏ธ Graphics Settings for Better Performance

Open CS2 โ†’ gear icon โ†’ โ€œVideoโ€ โ†’ โ€œGraphicsโ€. Apply the following settings:

  • Display Mode: Fullscreen

  • Power Saving Mode: Off

  • Boost Player Contrast: On

  • Vertical Sync (VSync): Off

  • Anti-Aliasing: CMAA2

  • Shadow Quality: Medium or High

  • Model/Shader/Particle Detail: Low

  • FidelityFX Super Resolution: Quality (or Off for low-end setups)

  • NVIDIA Reflex: On


๐Ÿ”Š Audio Settings

Disable all music in the โ€œMusicโ€ tab, except the 10-second bomb timer sound. Background music can lower FPS on weaker systems.


๐Ÿง  Console Commands to Boost FPS

Open the console (~) and enter these commands:

cl_showfps 1
net_graph 1
fps_max 0
sys_info

fps_max 0 removes FPS limit, and net_graph provides more performance metrics on screen.


๐Ÿ“ Boost FPS Using a Config File

Create an autoexec.cfg file and add these lines:

fps_max 0
cl_disablehtmlmotd 1
r_dynamic 0
mat_queue_mode 2

Save it to:

Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\cfg


๐Ÿš€ Launch Options in Steam

Right-click CS2 in Steam โ†’ Properties โ†’ General โ†’ Launch Options and add:

-nojoy -high +fps_max 0 +mat_queue_mode 2 -novid +r_dynamic 0
+cl_allow_animated_avatars 0 +engine_low_latency_sleep_after_client_tick

These parameters reduce system load, remove useless animations, and set high process priority for the game.
