Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
CS2 offers AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) on all GPUs. Most competitive players leave it Off at 1080p (CS2 is CPU-limited there) but it helps a lot at 1440p/4K.
Anti-Aliasing ModeCMAA2+16% FPS
MSAA is the single biggest GPU cost in CS2. Dropping from 4x/8x to CMAA2 frees a lot of frames for a small edge-smoothing loss — a popular competitive choice.
Global Shadow QualityLow+10% FPS
Shadow detail. Many players keep this at least Medium, because enemy shadows are a genuine source of information in CS2.
Ambient OcclusionDisabled+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; Medium is plenty for a clear competitive image.
Shader DetailLow+5% FPS
Surface and lighting shader complexity. Modest cost; safe to lower for extra frames.
Particle DetailLow+4% FPS
Smoke, sparks and debris. Lowering can actually help you see through busy fights as well as gain FPS.
Boost Player ContrastEnabledbaseline
Makes enemy player models pop against the background. Nearly free and a competitive advantage — keep it Enabled.
Model / Texture DetailHighbaseline
Character and world texture sharpness. Costs almost no FPS on any modern card — keep it High.
Texture Filtering ModeAnisotropic 16xbaseline
Keeps long sightlines (like Dust II’s long A) sharp into the distance. Essentially free — use Anisotropic 16x.
