The BEST CS2 Settings with S1mple, m0nesy and ropz 

Leading developer Robin Kool 😭😭

I find it funny, that ropz actually is the only one knowing what he is doing xD

10:16 "Show Team Position In HUD." If you wanna change it during the game, use command like (bind mouse5 "toggle cl_teamid_overhead_mode 2 1 0") to toggle between those modes

I'm sure people have mentioned this, but please if you are choosing your settings, follow what Ropz says. If you are new to the game and have no preference go with 16:9 or 16:10 resolution. If you do not have a 240 hz monitor, you should put lots of your settings on high if you want the game to look good (Ropz has Multisampling on CMAA2, try increasing this and see if you still get consistently above 144 fps). improving the visuals of the game will essentially not hurt you at all as long as you consistently get above 144 fps, and will make models more clear and the game more enjoyable. If you have performance issues, make sure your cpu and gpu drivers are up to date, Nvidia is constantly updating theirs for new titles, and they have put some focus into cs2. But if that doesn't work start by lowering these settings in this order till you can maintain over 144 fps; Particle Detail > Shader Detail > Ambient Occlusion > MultiSampling > Model Texture. CS2 Added L/R Audio. If you have trouble pinpointing enemies based on their footsteps or gunshots, try turning this up to 100%. It will sound weird at first, but should allow you to pinpoint enemies locations, and you will get used to it. If 100% is too much you can also try with a lower percentage. Good Luck!

Ropz is the mastermind of CS

Ropz is the only one that knows the techinicalities. Articulated properly and clearly. Thanks.

I like how Monesy says: "Put the same settings and it's gonna be the best for you" and has MSAA set to fucking 8x, which not that many people can handle with consistent fps.

anisotropic below 4x can make weapon skins look blurry unless you inspect them. Ambient oclusion disabled makes it that some enemy shadows don't appear (for instance, the shadows projected on a wall inside buildings like hut on nuke). Needs at least medium for that, but it will eat fps.

I love how many pros actually use a computer over 12 hours a day and dont know basic graphical settings like Texture filtering, which is you have it anything below 4x your game will look like a blurry mess due to all the textures being rendered at a lower resolution at a distance, as a PROgrammer and a PRO cs player, i recommend everyone at home to keep 4x as a MINIMUM. it does not affect FPS on even the lower end GPUs.

thats it. Twistz just confirmed Ropz is indeed a valve employee

Ropz: CS2 is good because it's the first CS game that works 😂😂 Also Ropz: It's Call of Duty

Crazy to me that I know way more about what each setting does than some pros...

Love when it switched to s1mple, m0nesy is in the background playing ping pong

Never knew ropz played native until now. What a legend. CLARITY BOIS UNITE

06:52 "aight I'm here with leading developer Robin Kool" 😂

Is there a setting to fade away team position in hud ? it is maximum silly when i awp Dust 2 mid for example, my mate is running lower tunnels and i cant aim doubledoors cause his name take the vision on the enemy. Even the scoped crosshair is behind the name

This just show that some pros that have been playing for years don't even know what does what in most settings, the only one that seems to know some things is ropz.

hahaha that was actually true. first i didn't quite believe the comments but ropz really is the only one who really knows what his settings do xD

this is a good example why not blatantly copy pro settings. you can clearly tell that m0nesy has no clue what most of the settings even do and just copies from other people. it's always best to do your own research on stuff like this and copy from people who actually know the reason why something is better.

I agree with m0nesy for the nade binds, I have been using it for like 4 years and it makes your nade game so much easier

OMG, hud edge position, just what i needed, as i have 32" monitor, i can move radar closer to mid (just tried, as i was interested also what it does), so i dont need to move head 54342 times to the radar before peaking.....

Interviewer: "what does this setting mean?" Pros: "idk but turn it off please"

anisotropic/texture filtering should be set to 16x as it doesn't or barely affect performance but gives you clearer visuals further away

Changing fovmodel from 60 to 68 in console was huge for me. Made it feel like cs:go

why is it that when i do the same resolution settings, mine has like a 3 inch black border.

your settings is the best

"and do you know what this does" "actually i don't know what this does"

i put model detail medium because on low when you spray or just shoot tracers are so low quality and so BIG you cant see anything, on medium tracers are way better in detail smaller. seriously tracers are sooooo big on low model no idea why.

ropz is the man

I only played a tiny bit so far. I just clicked the high preset and capped fps at 60 I'll drive myself nuts with settings if I start playing all the time again but for now I'm not to worried about it.

nvidia relfex low latency should disable it?

how about freesync? do they use it ?

Other than fps, are there any benefits to lower resolution? Can you see player models better?

what dpi is Ropz playing?

"We need more fps" - Monesy Also Monesy: 8xMSAA

im playing with same settings its really nice

ty

ropz my boy

Why is texture filtering mode on bilinear? wouldnt 16x be better??

ths guy doesnt sleep, the mental stress of cs life

Please I want the best sound config! My sound is like i'm in a bottle. I can't hear anything

At 6:27 I thought s1mple was 7k in premier and was like ohhh looordddy lord. (But then I saw the ESL avatar)

A lot of what they are recommending don't make any sense or are false, but that doesn't stop them from being top 10 players lol

where exactly do i type in the script

Aniscropic filtering aka texture filtering should ALWAYS be set to 16X. It cost nothing in performance and makes your skins look more crisp. Try it and you'll see. Bilinear is so, 1999

Twistzz rocking that patek Philipe. I guess playing cs at his level pays well :)

next time u can put clip with shadow on ancient with ropz xD for example

Is monesy using back light strobing

Particle details set to low, makes smoke less dense

Have they said anything about when the pros will be switching to CS2?

For me i cant find color mode?

Yuu really did simple dirty using his blunderyears picture in the thumbnail give blud a chance 💀

lol monesy like that teacher in school who said just do it and dont question me

they didn't even bother to rename the cs:go folder to cs2 :D you have to fiddle around with config commands again, like it shouldn't have been after 1.6 already. one settings menu and done. all the other games get it right, too.

I don,t have the color mode setting

CS2 will be the best FPS of all time when lead dev Ropz fixes it up a bit

funny how ppl who played cs most of their life dont even know what most graphic settings mean

Why ropzzz?

just use what ever you want, even the pros dont even know what they are doing lol

These guys change there settings in a daily basis

Game looks beautiful at high settings, personally I don't mind some fps loss

What only 240hz? While There 280hz?

i don't have a color mode

i wanna see them key binds

help me bru, my sens feels delayed

The guy just, instead of filming the fucking screen so we can see what the guy is doing, he films his face. good work Mongolian😮

Hooxi giga chad

Robin 🤙🏼

s1 put 'I don't know' counter on the screen pls

s1mple just don't wanna share his settings cuz he wants to keep being the best in the world😂😂

just give me my workshop maps

Zywoo and s1mple both use scroll wheel for gernades 😂 but it doesnt mean u should aswell

i cant even play the game its not launching giving me an error 😭

how is the guy that says that 60hz "looks good" ?

Never meet ur heros

How does the interviewer not know what VSync is? Do ESL's journalists even play any games? lol

Robin cool most humble player

Do you have experience with technology and computers? No. Ok, what about video games? No. Fine... what about CS specifically? Gaming? Players? Also no. Hired! You're gonna do the interview.

my man s1mple bout to dominate with his new 60hz setting😂😂😂😂

I skipped simple and monesy just to see what ropz's.

You want to listen to ropz cuz this guy really knows some shit about gamedev

Yo Russel can do this job...

i use 4:3 but refresh rate only get 60fps but when i use 16:9 it can go up to 165. my monitor is 165 btw can anyone help me on that

Wow M0nesy has absolutely no clue about post processing. I'm not gonna trust him at all

Tolunay Oren>Navi btw

I think its obvious who made the meta settings first lol

just s1mple settings from 2015 year he just change 1 option Shadow quality :D

9:06

Ilya is the best!

Why is it 239 hz?

Bilinear texture filtering in 2023? Use that if you want blurry textures starting a foot away from you. Use anisotropic 16x, it is essentially no cost on performance and textures aren't a blurry mess

for me with my old 144hz benq monitor i have to play with vsync on, without it it feels like lags

"the best" yeah everything the "pros" uses is the best blablablalbalbla no it isnt, you play what fits you.

bruh you can tell that half the people in these comments dont even know who Ropz is when they think hes actually a dev for Valve XD

I want 21:9 Would be unfair tho

Damn m0nesy looks tired af

show the computer not the guy with mic man

Imagine a team with Ropz, M0nesy, and S1mple on it…

cant even make out what hes changing

It's amazing how clueless everyone is 😂
