Optimization read

Counter-Strike 2 keeps shooter-friendly response within reach, but the real story is consistency rather than one flattering average FPS number.

  • Average FPS can look fine while frame pacing and scene-to-scene consistency still need attention.
  • Playable performance starts higher up the GPU stack than the first official floor might imply.
