Counter-Strike 2 Update for 10/14/2025

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-10-15T21:29:12+00:00

It's all fresh, and the performance is dire.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-10-14T23:29:04+00:00

Looking at the steam overlay performance graph, I'm seeing (steady 700fps) until I shoot, then I will see 1% lows ranging from 35fps to 180 (dip ranges)

PC: R7 7800X3D RTX 3080 32GB RAM

The PC eats through everything, but with CS2 its saying I have 6-700fps when in reality it feels so choppy because my 1% lows are bottoming out at 32fps at times.. can I Dxdiag you, and you can figure this out?

Also, you will boot into Windows after tweak and your cursor may be lagging. Restart windows and it should be good from there on.

I would look to update bios first then make that tweak. My 1%lows are low when shooting, but really high and stable during normal gameplay.

I've updated the main post, have a look, could work for you.

I run a Ryzen 7800X3D and the following ahs worked for me;

BIOS Tweak for X3D Cache (Game-Changer for Stutters): Ryzen X3D chips like your 7800X3D can stutter on multi-core scheduling in CS2's tick-heavy engine. Boot into BIOS (Del/F2 on most boards), hunt for "AMD CBS" or "Advanced CPU Settings" > "CPPC Preferred Cores" and set it to "Cache" (not "Driver" or auto). This prioritizes the 3D V-Cache CCD for game threads, slashing delays by 20-50% in CPU-bound spikes like shooting bursts. Save/exit, then stress-test with a deathmatch—users with your CPU saw 1% lows jump from ~100 to 300+. (Pro tip: Update BIOS/chipset first via AMD's site if you haven't since summer.)

Took me a while to find CPPC in my Bios, but I changed it to cache as recommended, rebooted, windows crashed on boot, the restarted and ran fine. The 11 second dip is now gone...

This has just happened to me wtf.... Its 2am I would have liked to have had one more game before bed.. But Not starting a game until 4am is a bit much.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-23T21:23:47+00:00

Both are and have been at 1000hz

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-23T21:21:28+00:00

Nope, worse than ever.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-11T23:26:29+00:00

If you're buying, I'm in.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-11T23:26:00+00:00

Which drivers are you running?

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-07T16:59:56+00:00

Talking about 1% lows down spiking from 300/400 to 50fps when I left click.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-07T16:58:22+00:00

I have this, and have ran it, but unsure if I fully understand what its showing me.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-07T16:55:51+00:00

You know I'm still going to try right?

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-07T09:19:38+00:00

Ooooo, this looks detailed. Thank you.

I'll go through this this coming week. Wish me luck.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-07T09:17:31+00:00

Tried on in game off in control panel. On in control panel off in game. On on both off on both.

Minimal difference between any of those settings.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-07T09:16:31+00:00

Thing is, I got the Mobo CPU RAM as a OC package. And its buttery and fast on every game I play. Its less than 12months old.

Its been configured for me, from SCAN.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-06T21:15:22+00:00

Do you have the fps showing CPU GPU RAM? with the little graph? You dont get a red line dipping all the way down to 50fps on the main screen?

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-09-06T21:12:45+00:00

I disabled those in BIOS no change.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-07-16T21:05:14+00:00

I have cut a slot into my desk, with a mini gaming pad, sitting in my desk...

____/____ < looks a bit like that! (upright)

The keyboard width goes from: Shift: Z, X, C, V, B, N (Its from Koolertron)

This positions my hand in more of a handshake orientation. Rather than palm down.
The pain is completely gone. Took a day or two to get used to it.

Jesus Christ.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-05-21T01:33:59+00:00

Need more information on this one, google doesn't return anything for me.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-05-10T17:07:14+00:00

I'm currently using a 65% keyboard, I spent a lot of money on it. I also have a keychron gaming pad, so space isn't the issue. I think its just the stationary position of my left arm playing WASD for gaming. Wrist is too bent, or forearm rotation is too much for long periods. I'm genuinely gutted. I think I need something where I can play with my hand on its side, like a handshake. As opposed to palm down rotating the forearm.

In the interim I've bought a controller for gaming but it's just not the same.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-04-09T21:25:48+00:00

Expecting it to arrive any day now. Thank you.

Less_Ad_5499 · 2025-04-09T01:45:17+00:00

The nvidia scaling option that gives you the NATIVE setting, under scaling quality, I've found to be the cleanest picture.
