CS2 fps appears poor because of low frame rates, often due to technical issues or settings that affect smoothness.
CS2 fps appears poor because of low frame rates, often due to technical issues or settings that affect smoothness.
The difference comes from how hardware and settings handle frame rates. Higher FPS like 120 in CS2 or Minecraft may strain the system or cause rendering issues, making it feel choppy. Lower FPS like 60 can still run smoothly on some setups because of better optimization or less demanding assets. Your monitor’s resolution doesn’t change this—it’s more about processing power and game settings.
Your system is built for gaming, with settings optimized for CS2. Single-player titles typically run smoothly at 60 frames per second. FPS titles perform well at around 120 FPS, but the visuals may appear subpar if they don’t match your display’s refresh rate. For best results, aim for 360 fps on a 360 Hz monitor.
Determines the issue by checking for tears, jitter, or irregular behavior. Configure MSI Afterburner to display frame times on a graph in the OSD to observe any erratic jumps.
i7 8700 and a 1050ti, which ik is too weak for the monitor, but I'm making a new pc soon. I don't understand how can a game be "designed" for a certain framerate, unless the ingame time relies on it. I'll check, but it just doesn't look smooth at all when like turning my head around, I don't think there's any tearing
The system is struggling with limited performance and low frame rates in the online FPS game. It seems to be affected by more than just those problems—other issues like poor rendering times and connectivity problems might be present.
Playing with an NVIDIA GPU often feels slightly less smooth, even though it delivers a higher average frame rate. The reason remains unclear, but generally AMD GPUs offer a more fluid gaming experience, even when the average frames drop. This issue persists across NVSponsored titles as well. In your situation, the problem stems from a weak GPU paired with an old CPU. It worsens further if you're using a mechanical hard drive instead of an SSD. Yes, we've reached a point where mechanical storage is already too slow for today's games.
That's interesting, my take is quite different. While Nvidia usually has more spikes and less consistent performance, I’d suggest going for a Matrox GPU if you’re after smoother results. It really depends on the drivers—more important than the hardware itself. Those frame rates are impressive, especially with a high refresh monitor. The brand isn’t the only factor here.
