Frequently asked questions

What matters more in CS2, the CPU or the GPU?

The CPU. From an RTX 5070 upwards, the processor is what limits your FPS. A Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best value for money.

Is a 500 Hz monitor worth it?

If you play competitively and your PC tops 500 FPS, yes: motion clarity and latency improve noticeably.
