Counter-Strike 2 has undoubtedly stirred up a lot of excitement among gamers, but it turns out not all high-end PCs can handle this game smoothly. The community's main complaints have been low FPS rates, lags, and delays, which can seriously impair the gaming experience.
On the Reddit forum, users with various PC configurations began to complain about experiencing low FPS, lags, and delays in CS2. Gamers mentioned their configurations as examples: CPU — Ryzen 5 2600X and GPU — 2080, CPU — Ryzen 5 3rd generation and GPU — 4070ti. Both were puzzled to find an average FPS below 100.
Other forum users ran their own tests and it turned out that the weak link in this case is the CPU. The CPU plays a key role in CS2 performance. Unlike many other games where the GPU might have the most impact on FPS, in CS2, the CPU has a more significant role. This means that even if you have the latest GPU, an outdated or overwhelmed CPU could be the cause of issues.
A quick solution to this problem would be to upgrade your CPU that will run the game. This will undoubtedly improve performance and eliminate lags. However, understanding that upgrading hardware can be expensive and not always an available option, you can also hope that Valve will release optimization patches for CS2 soon.
In any case, remember that acquiring a more powerful CPU is not only an improvement for gaming in CS2 but also an investment in the future, allowing you to enjoy a broader spectrum of games without performance issues.
