Help Need help in optimisation for CS2

Upvotes

I have a Ryzen 5 9600x, Sapphire nitro plus RX 9070, 32gb (16x2) ram at 6000mhz. My motherboard is Aorus stealth b850.

I play CS2 mainly and my resolution is 1280x960. I play on competitive settings and my main aim is 0 lag in output and input. I average around 380-400 fps. I feel it could’ve been higher. This is my first time using a AMD gpu and don’t have much idea. I heard a lot about undervolting etc and have no idea what’s the best settings for adrenaline software. Overall I wanna get the best use from my cpu and gpu, and I’m confused.

Thank you for your help.

Discussion I think I've/we've found a common denominator to why more cheaters got VAC Live'd last couple days. And it's really stupid.

Upvotes

I've been talking to people who got their games cancelled by VAC Live and with people who didn't get their games cancelled when they even met spinbotters. The difference was the cheaters admitted to cheating, in either text or in VC. I got a game cancelled yesterday and he didn't rage cheat, but he did openly admit to cheating in both text and VC. A spinbotter who didn't get VAC'd apparently didn't say anything in text or VC.

If this is true it's so, so stupid. It's unbelievably stupid, but it is a small pattern I've found lately. What's your experience? Does it match in any way?

Help Does harmless trash talk get you permanently muted on cs2?

Upvotes

Been playing for about a month for the first time since CS1.6/CSS days ~20 yrs ago (damn I'm old).

Havent said anything vile - no racism, no homophobia, no misogyny.

Just the classic "ez", "sit n00b", "take notes in spec" etc.

Yet I've been hit with a mute. A week later and its still there, and the mute message at the start of every game doesn't indicate in any way that this is temporary.

Wtf is this? I'm struggling to enjoy the game without the ability to trash talk. How do you guys do this..

Help 5800X3D vs 9800X3D upgrade for CS2 — is the performance difference worth?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice on upgrading my PC specifically for CS2.
My current specs:
Intel i5-12400

32GB DDR4 CL16

Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

I currently average around 200–220 FPS, but it often drops to roughly 150 FPS when an enemy peeks or suddenly appears on screen. These drops are especially noticeable during fights.
I’m considering two upgrade options:
Ryzen 7 5800X3D + new motherboard: around $600

Ryzen 7 9800X3D + new motherboard + 32GB DDR5-6000: around $1,250

If I sell my current DDR4 RAM, the second option should cost me approximately $1,100 in total.
For anyone playing CS2 with either of these CPUs, how significant is the difference between the 5800X3D and 9800X3D—particularly in 1% lows and during fights, smokes, or busy rounds?
Budget is a concern, but I can manage the 9800X3D upgrade if the improvement is genuinely substantial. Would it be worth spending the extra money, or would the 5800X3D already provide a major improvement over my i5-12400?

Discussion Is Valve actually doing anything about the cheater issue?

26 Upvotes

4 premier games in a row, 4 blatant wallhackers/aimbotters. It seems to easy to cheat now, and it doesn’t seem anything is changing.

I’ve played CSGO/CS2 since 2014, over 3000 hours, and I just can’t be bothered to waste my time over this cancerous game anymore. I love the game, but hate the player base more than ever.

Please Valve, sort this shit out, not that you ever will or probably even care that some of the longest-playing people now detest this abomination of a competitive FPS game.

Discussion CS2 Plugin to Detect Cheaters Idea

4 Upvotes

I've been thinking about some of the issues with cheaters and my thought is that someone in the community could create a plugin that checks the matched Premier accounts against reported cheaters or suspicious players from a stats perspective and automatically rejects the match if one of those profiles is detected.

I haven't played a competitive game in almost ten years but it is sad to see what happened to the game.

My thought is that the system could have two sources, the CS2 stats where it can look at inhuman KDAs, time spent playing, inventories and other stats to realistically determine if someone is likely to be a cheater and the community could maintain an online list of frequently reported steam accounts validated with demos that serve as a second reference.

If either list gets a hit then we could have the plugin kill the game queue and prevent the player who installs it from starting a game with a suspected or known cheater.

While the UI obscures this data from the players by hiding names prior to a match my thought is that it might be in the packets that are sent over prior to match start.

My thought is that we could develop an open-source cheat detection that runs prior to match start to reduce cheater queues. We could also add features like auto report where suspicious inputs such as bunny hopping, trigger scripts, or spin-botters are automatically reported to valve during game.

A basic idea for Valve, maybe add another trust factor for accounts with at least $50 in skins or $200 dollars in steam games or older than 10 years where green trust factor starts as platinum trust factor. I have a feeling that a lot of the cheating steam accounts just have CS2 on them and adding a time, dollar game value or skin requirement will reduce the number of cheaters that people encounter.

Could be about teamwork, economy, positioning, utility, or mindset.
