Ensure CS2 runs efficiently with minimal CPU and GPU usage.
The game only reaches about 150fps but maintains that performance across low and medium settings on 1080p and lower resolutions. It runs smoothly even with 4:3 at competitive settings, using ultra fidelity. I'm running a 1660super with a 5600g and 32GB RAM. The system stays cool under 60°C, and I've tried reinstalling or restarting. Any suggestions would be helpful. (I haven't limited my FPS, so it might be the CPU core count.)
Do you have VSync enabled? That would help limit frames per second.
If you're not observing full CPU utilization, additional cores won't improve performance much. You could also be limited by single-thread speed, meaning further tweaks won't significantly raise FPS unless you consider overclocking or switching to a different CPU.
Increasing graphics settings might lead to higher GPU activity. Is 150fps too low for your needs?
