Best Counter-Strike 2 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Counter-Strike 2 runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 46FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 760 (2GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Counter-Strike 2 is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 46 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 36 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% 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 Mode4x MSAAbaseline
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 QualityHighbaseline
Shadow detail. Many players keep this at least Medium, because enemy shadows are a genuine source of information in CS2.
Boost Player ContrastEnabledbaseline
Makes enemy player models pop against the background. Nearly free and a competitive advantage — keep it Enabled.
Ambient OcclusionHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; Medium is plenty for a clear competitive image.
Shader DetailHighbaseline
Surface and lighting shader complexity. Modest cost; safe to lower for extra frames.
Particle DetailHighbaseline
Smoke, sparks and debris. Lowering can actually help you see through busy fights as well as gain FPS.
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.
Dynamic ShadowsAllbaseline
Keep this on All: it costs almost no FPS but lets you spot the moving shadows of enemies around corners — a genuine competitive advantage, so we never lower it.
High Dynamic RangeQualitybaseline
Leave this on Quality. It costs barely any FPS and avoids the grainy, noisy image Performance mode can produce on some maps.
