<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn CS2 or any other video game for that matter, FPS stands for the number of frames per second<\/strong> and constitutes an update rate that makes your visual experience smoother. If you have 60 FPS, your image gets updated 60 times per second, which is what you want in most games. This refresh rate is generally sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In CS2, you might want to have 90 or even 120 FPS, simply because the game relies on fast reflexes and any tiny visual improvement may facilitate them. However, in 99.9% of situations, anything between 60 and 90 frames per second will be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the highest level of CS2, players try to get an edge in any way they can. But FPS is rarely an issue. This factor comes in only when you don’t have a high-end PC and are trying to optimize performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using an FPS cap in CS2 is important when you want to make sure that your PC doesn’t try too hard to give you a perfectly smooth experience at the expense of something else. These days, PCs know how to find on their own the maximum FPS number that’s optimal, but Counter-Strike 2 still gives you some FPS commands<\/a> to assist with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Cap FPS in CS2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTo cap or uncap FPS in CS2, simply use this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
fps_max YOUR_DESIRED_FPS_VALUE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you use this command with a value of 0, it will uncap your CS2 FPS. Players generally use a value between 60 and 240. If you have an old PC, 60 to 90 should be your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep in mind that to use this command, you will need to make sure that your Developer Console is enabled. To activate the Developer Console in CS2, just follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Open Counter-Strike 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Go to Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Select the Game<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Locate \u201cEnable Developer Console<\/strong>\u201d and set it to Yes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
After you’ve enabled the Developer Console, simply press ~<\/strong> and type in your commands. A better way to do it would be to include your desired commands in an autoexec file<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another way to do it is to use CS2’s launch options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Uncap FPS in CS2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Open the console.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Type fps_max 0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
This removes any FPS limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFPS commands can display in your HUD the number of frames per second. This is important information, so it doesn’t hurt to have it on the screen at all times. To display your CS2 FPS in real time, use this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cl_showfps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Checking Your FPS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To see your current FPS, type cl_showfps 1<\/strong> in the console. This will display the FPS in the corner of your screen. Enter cl_showfps 0<\/strong> to hide it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you have an old PC, improving your number of frames per second in CS2 generally requires you to lower your video settings. Simply go to Settings -> Video > Advanced Video and set everything to medium or even low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disable anything that’s not essential and can be disabled. That way, your system will be under less stress and will give you a better FPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
