Outdated drivers are the main reason for unstable FPS rates or low performance.
Hint: If you are used to better shadows for lining up greandes you can also improve the global shadow quality as well as the shader detail.Īlways remember to keep your drivers up to date. Obviously you can adjust individual values according to your own preference. Use the following settings for the highest FPS gains: If you are optimizing for performance you need to tune down the video quality. *For AMD you head to “Scaling” in your Control Panel and adjust your settings for 4.3. Now your image should be stretched out to the full 16:9 monitor. Change your options there from “Adjust Desktop Size and Position” to “Fullscreen”. If you don’t see any black bars on your monitor with a 4:3 aspect ratio you should head back into your NVIDIA settings and go to the “Adjust Desktop Size and Position” tab. The other reason for this choice is that these settings will display opponents that are further away larger than if you used a higher resolution, making them easier to hit. We recommend a 1280×960 resolution on a normal 4:3 aspect ratio. If you use a lower resolution your PC usually performs better. One reason is obviously being used to the lower settings from Counter-Strike 1.6, but also because CS:GO is quite heavy on your CPU. Most CS:GO pros play with a low resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of the more common 16:9. In order to optimize for a fluid picture with a constantly high frame rate you need to also adjust your in-game settings. Tessellation Mode (Use Application settings).Texture Filtering Quality (Performance).Anisotropic Filtering Mode (Use Application settings).Antialiasing Mode (Use Application settings).Pick CS:GO there to prevent meddling with the global settings for other games. Go to the “ Gaming” tab in your AMD settings. Should you run into performance issues after changing your settings you can and should roll back your settings. Texture Filtering – Trilinear Optimization (On).Texture Filtering – Quality (High Performance).Texture Filtering – Negative LOD Bias (Allow).Texture Filtering – Anisotropic sample optimization (On).Background Application Max Frame Rate (Off).Power Management Mode (Prefer Maximum Performance).Preferred Refresh rate (Highest Available).Our recommended settings are the following: Go to Program settings and pick CS:GO from the dropdown menu. The tab “Manage 3D settings” allows you to use customized settings for different applications. If you have a screen capable of 144Hz you should also adjust your setting to that. Under the tab “Change Resolution” you can fix the frequency of your monitor. You can open it by clicking on the NVIDIA icon in your task bar. The next options we take a closer look at are part of your NVIDIA Control Panel.
(If you are using an AMD card, skip to 2.2 ) How can I fix low FPS in CS:GO Update drivers (graphic, windows, sound, etc.) Do not run other programs in the background.
