CS2 FPS Guide: How to Limit or Remove Frame Rate Cap
Frames per second (FPS) in CS2 significantly impact gameplay smoothness and performance. Here's how to optimize your FPS settings for the best experience.
Understanding FPS in CS2
FPS (frames per second) determines how smoothly your game runs. While 60 FPS provides a good experience, competitive players often aim for 90-120 FPS for optimal responsiveness.
Recommended FPS Ranges:
- 60-90 FPS: Smooth gameplay experience
- 90-144 FPS: Optimal for competitive play
- Above 144 FPS: Minimal noticeable improvement
How to Adjust FPS in CS2
- Open Steam
- Right-click CS2 in your library
- Select Properties
- Find Launch Options under the General tab
- Enter command: +fps_max [desired number] +cl_showfps 1
Common FPS Commands:
- +fps_max 0: Removes FPS cap
- net_graph 1: Shows FPS counter
- cl_showfps: Displays FPS on screen
Should You Limit FPS?
Consider limiting FPS if:
- Your PC struggles with performance
- You experience unexpected freezes
- You want to optimize resource usage
Optimal FPS caps:
- High-end PC: 90-144 FPS
- Mid-range PC: 60-90 FPS
- Lower-end PC: 60 FPS
Performance Tips:
- Lower graphics settings for better FPS
- Close background applications
- Monitor system resources
- Experiment with different FPS caps to find optimal performance
Remember: A stable 60 FPS is better than unstable higher framerates. Focus on consistency rather than maximum FPS for the best gaming experience.
