Counter-Strike 2 player finds best settings to avoid input lag ValveA Counter-Strike 2 player found the best settings to avoid input lag after meticulous testing, and it turns out graphic quality isn\u2019t the biggest problem. When it comes to competitive games, players will do anything to gain an advantage, even if it means reducing their graphic quality and changing aspect ratios just to milk as much FPS and reduce as much input lag as possible. This is why you often see so many of Counter-Strike\u2019s best players meticulously tune their settings to the lowest possible quality in order to minimize as much lag as possible. However, have you ever wondered how much impact each setting has when turned up to its max? A player too was curious and tested it in the Counter-Strike 2 Beta. A player on the CSGO subreddit, Piwielle, decided to test CS2\u2019s video settings to see which options cause the most lag, and there\u2019s really only one setting you should always have turned off. According to Piwielle\u2019s testing, Vertical Sync (VSync) does the most damage as it adds an additional 15 milliseconds of input lag, which is usual as it\u2019s always good advice to disable it if you want more frames. So if you haven\u2019t turned it off, you should. The other setting that could impact your input lag is turning the Multisampling Anti-Aliasing mode up to 8x MSAA, this can add 0.89 milliseconds of lag, which is far better than enabling VSync. Surprisingly, graphic settings like model, shader, and particle details when turned up too high or very high only add a minuscule amount of input lag, just at 0.15 milliseconds. However, turning up the Global Shadow Quality and Ambient Occlusion seems to be the worst of the bunch as they both add 0.30 ms and 0.33 ms respectively. Of course, the input lag that those settings add is minuscule in comparison to VSync, so if you do want to enjoy CS2\u2019s beautiful usage of Source 2\u2019s engine, it wouldn\u2019t harm to leave it on high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
