Imagine trying to benchmark under varied loads but being unable to do so because people keep picking Mirage. This truly is a Counter-Strike experience.
getting shot down from the back or sides by someone who spawned from thin air is also a cs2 experience.
W people
@@Seaker71L as fuck
And man will say comp means nothing so play premier 💀
Not my fault Mirage and Dust2 run better than Nuke, Ancient and Anubis...
The 85gb install requirements are a holdover from when CSGO and CS2 were still installed in the same directory ;-)
Now they install separately?
@@ikariameriks They share a folder. The catch is, CSGO's assets are MIA unless you opt into playing it via the legacy build.
@@ikariameriks Yes, separately :-)
how can I get rid of the csgo files if csgo is dead then?
@@rickjames5998 you don't have them unless you've opted into the legacy build on steam
CS2 getting 60-90 on the minimum specs is honestly insane, I was expecting something under 30
I don’t get what is the outcry about that people getting 30 fps, i know i have a rather strong videocard (rtx 3070) but when i played on 1080p low i had like 300 fps and the card was running on 40%
@@thighhighenthusiastic1268 if ur card's only using 40% of its power then your CPU isn't strong enough to utilize 100% of the GPU's power for the game ur running
i get 40 fps on all settings on low 1024x768 res on nvidia quadro 600 1gb 8 gigs ddr 3 ram and i3 2100
@mstgamescrafts I am more amazed that it gets higher than 30, that cpu is being tortured every time you open the game
@@thighhighenthusiastic1268 i used to be getting 30ish fps in games like csgo or even tf2, so I used resolutions such as 640x480 or 800x600 and other tricks. sure people get better computers over time but games also become more demanding, so I'm sure some people still walk the way of the toaster

You know 3kliks.. You're a legend in the game man for quite a long time. I thank you for the vast amounts of knowledge you've bestowed upon this community for countless years. Thanks for all you do and all your work!
@@3kliksphilipThis is the first time I have asked something from a youtuber. Im curious what is going on with Arc GPUs when it comes to this game. And I wonder what the 770 16GB could do with all that VRAM but with a "weak" cheapset when it cones to CS.
bro has like 1 Billion views combined in all his channels. He's living from this and propably has made bank from it aswell. he doesn't need your thanks.
@@FonikosGazmasi’d love to see that too!!
@@Fabbyyywhat are you yapping about
@@FabbyyyAlthough I do also appreciate the content, Lets not forget the dude is making an insane amount of money from doing so. I highly doubt all of these super in depth and painful videos would be done for free if he made 0 money from them.
Hey man just wanted to thank you. Your videos got this ancient 39 year old to finally start playing cs (2 that is). Only doing casual to learn it but love it.
Best of luck on your journey man!
@@3kliksphilip Oh my god, this exactly describes why I have been having such a bad time with this game recently! I really love this game, but lately I haven't been wanting to pick it up anymore. I have been dreading losing and having no impact in my matches. I'll try readjusting my mentality, thanks for the tip!
@@EthicalAllelethink of it this way, when you die or lose games, mistakes were made 😊 if you have the luxury of recording your gameplay and watching it back you can find some big issues in your own gameplay. Just think:
Did I die to positioning error, or mechanical error? Why was I in the area I was in/ would I have positioned myself like that again if I had the same info? Was I exposed to too many things? How could I have played with a teammate in that scenario? Did I die with utility on my belt?
Even just asking "what did I do wrong there" can be huge. Even if you win rounds. Yes it won the round, but these players might be bad, would this have been a way to win a round against better players that have better aim?
Edit: Jocko Willink has a good motivational speech about it. I think it's the "good" speach? Like you lose a game because of bad aim? Good. You have room to improve. You lose a game because of bad mental? Good. Take a deep breath, get back on the horse, you have room to improve. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it 😎
@@L0wSkiller Got it, I'll try analyzing the replays that get recorded. I'll also find the speech you mentioned. 👍
Bro is older than my dad
kinda sad how the way he described the pc made it seem like it was from 1995 but it ended up running so much better than my pc
Yeah, it has a 12th gen CPU when I still use a 4th gen 4770S, the CPU alone is carrying heavily
this is a minimum spec DESKTOP pc. I would bet your pc is either really old, or a laptop for it to perform worse than this.
@@eX1st4132 my gpu is like 13 something years old so yeah
@@Nolsjokes There's probably people playing younger than your gpu lmao
yea, im still using i3-5005u
Will you ever come back to making maps for the game, I wonder? Your series on de sparity is still the single most favourite thing you've ever done, to me
This video reminds me of me growing up in Brazil playing every game on minimum spec and trying to squeeze every last frame from my games to have a playable 30fps haha. Makes me thankful for being able to afford high end stuff nowdays :) I am sure this video right now is helping someone somewhere who is just trying to have some fun with counter strike on their old hardware. Thanks Philip!
that caboozing at 7:30 hits like a truck. i love it
why do I watch these videos when I stopped playing CS over 5 years ago? No idea.
Are they as interesting as they were when I played? More so
Your enthusiasm rubs off amazingly
While both of those GPUs are definitely well selected terrible cards, I suspect the initial stuttering that goes away you mentioned is more to do with CS2 building its shader cache for previously unrendered content. This is behaviour that I have observed across a range of low/medium to high end hardware from both the green and red teams across my friend group, especially after driver updates.
Yup, same here. I always use DDU when installing new driver updates, and CS2 is very stuttery in the menus and in the first minute of a game right after a clean driver install. It happens for a bunch of other games too. (6800XT)
@@EthicalAllelemight wanna try the tool and has for doing it.
With ddu it bugged unable to install new drivers until the AMD cleanup solved it
@@LPgmxDan I have never had any issues using DDU. I don't think the stuttering is even an issue because I'd imagine clean installing drivers would always clear the shader cache regardless of if I'm using AMD Cleanup Utility or DDU. I'll definitely try it for my next driver update, but I'm not expecting it to change anything 😅
Might have been interesting to test it on integrated graphics. I remember my first laptop ran CSGO at only 25 fps on integrated graphics. Would be interesting to see how well CS2 is ran on that.
No…no it wouldn’t have been lol
My core i3 has integrated graphics and it barely runs at 30fps and it freezes constantly
It's below minimum spec and anything weaker than a 6500XT won't be competitive, as 3kliks concluded. The game might launch but performance won't be acceptable. This wasn't a "will it launch?" video, but a "how playable is minimum spec?" one and we've got our answer.
If there are APUs roughly equivalent to the 6500XT then one of those would've been interesting but idk if they exist.
expect to get less than 60 fps at 720p and fsr performance on the vega 8
@@Bassalicious the amd strix point/halo iGPUs should perform like a 1050 ti, would be interesting when they come out
Philip , thank you for providing us with such high quality content over the years . I've been obsessed with watching all your videos since the going low in "csgo" series and all your channels keep delivering . sincerely THANK YOU ❤
Our humble king. He says he's bad at CS, yet he's put out years of CS content, even made maps. Thank you kliks
I am now able to afford a PC a child-me would have probably fainted over, however, I want to emphasize how AMAZING these types of videos are. It is absolutely awesome that you do this kind of testing for those who have to make do with whatever they have (like I once had to). Not nearly enough youtubers and reviewers do this. Not everyone is running games on a streamer rig with all the latest gadgets.
Thank you for your service, philip!
You mentioned "infamous stuttering" at the end. For my friends and I, it happens quite often when using the AWP's scope.
Yeah, I stutter anywhere from a tenth to a quarter of a second when I scope in with the AWP, scout, AUG, or Sig. Tried changing a bunch of settings, mainly anti-aliasing, but nothing seems to fix it.
I felt a huge, sudden shock when Phil said the GPU I'm currently still using was mid range at launch... Time flies by so quick, especially after 2020. And yet in 2020 I was still playing new games just fine? Granted though I have the 2GB overclocked-out-of-the-box edition (don't know how it's still kicking honestly). It's all such a haze. I still have only 8 gigs of RAM too, and it's starting to feel quite cramped here...
2020 is almost 4 years ago and just after the launch of RTX and the push for higher graphical fidelity in games. its not a surprise that your GPU struggles. there is also the releases of the ps5 and new Xbox to consider as those consoles held the gaming industry back for so long
@@Critical3rrorit's all going too fast man
I just realized my graphics card is over 7 years old lol. Time flies
I have an RX 580 and a 12 year old cpu and i play new games just fine at 60fps
Congratulations Philip on 1 million subs! I have been here for so long now. Hopefully your brothers will catch up with the growth too. 1 million is truly a lot man, and you deserve every single sub. Let’s go for the 2 million!
4:25 super aliased, low res, and torn cs2 isn't a bad vibe honestly. the semi-photoreal clutter and texture detail with those effects and the saturated lighting make for a retro-adjacent look that i prefer to a lot of the retro 3d stuff that's been floating around the past few years
It feels like Philip is pushing some boundaries and becomes more weird-interesting-cynical with each video.
He also started using bad words

I don't even play cs2 or csgo, I don't even have any clue about anything hardware related. I just love your videos they're really calming and well made, been watching your videos for years now and I love every single new video that comes out! keep it up!
Good to see you're dressing the way you said you do in the winter months. Living frugal no matter your available means is always a fun experience, I hope your distant relative kliksphilip would make more videos like that.
good job man! youre literally doing valve's job at this time, your testing will surely help the devs improve and optimize the game's experience on budget and low end pcs! cqnt imagine the time and money spent looking for those parts, keep it up!
I would LOVE to see you do some tests on Linux vs Windows. I love linux but I do think there is a latency difference between linux and windows, at least on my PC, and I'd love to see that quantified.
Always nice to see that troublesome 6500 XT come into play Philip. Have you seen that new RTX 4060 Ti that has the m.2 slot? Now we need playing CS2 on minimum settings on the 6500 XT played through the 4060 ti
I'm excited for anything on linux and vulkan! Great video as always!
Haven't played CS in years but I still watch your videos every time they're recommended to me.
Hardware threads refers to hyperthreading - and that really does use CPU hardware to achieve parallelism within a single core
Multithreading is a programming concept, where you use many threads (potentially hundreds) to achieve something. CS2 almost certainly uses many threads, but ideally your CPU has 4 hardware threads across two cores to dedicate to the more busy threads
thanks mr minecraft
how does it achieve parallelism within a single core?
@@vibaj16it's not "actual" parallelism, hyper threading basically means that you have 2 schedulers for that one CPU core taking advantage of any timeslots unallocated by the other scheduler.
You won't have 2 tasks/processes running at the same time, but under the right circumstances you can run 20% more processes in the same time
@@vibaj16 I think each core has an extra set of registers and instruction decoders(or execution units not sure) which allow more than one compute block to be used simultaneously. For example if a non hyper threaded core is currently doing an integer operation it cant use its FPU or other compute block until the integer operation is finished. But for a hyper-threaded core if the next instruction is a floating point type it can execute it in parallel with the integer one. In a way think of hyper-threading as a means for a better core utilization
@@vibaj16 the idea is a core will have two schedulers processing two different instruction streams that use the same cache
If one of the instruction streams stalls (accessing memory that is far away in cache or even RAM) then the other instructions stream can continue executing whilst the other is stalled
There's some even lower level concepts, like when areas of the core go dark for one instruction stream the other can use it, so if one stream is doing a floating point calculation the other can do some integer math
Currently playing on a 2016' laptop. A i5 7th gen, a gt 940m and 8gb of ram.
I support playing at 40/50fps and sudden frame drops. I don't wanna accept my setup is bad
wtf?? i get 40/50 on lowest on an i5 1250p, 16gb ddr5 4800mhz, intel iris xe laptop
I can't believe how relatable this video is. Every little issue you described I was able to recognize as it was ingrained into my memory throughout my childhood.

Dude, I love your 300 Antec case.
Hey Philip, please dont manually spin fans on PC components. They act as generators when spun manually and can fry your components. This goes extra for cleaning with compressed air during which you should hold the fan in place. Just be careful with your tech ❤
NIce wisdom
The most disapointing thing in CS 2, for me, is how bad and grainy the game looks in 1024x728 res. I've played on this config for more than 5 years in CS:GO and now it is literally unplayable, you can't even see the enemies.
hey, I had this exact same issue and you should try switching the anti aliasing above cmaa, turing off the "dynamic resolution" or whatever the dlss shit is, and upping your texture filtering to anisotropic 2-4x.
also since ur also playing stretched id make sure ur display scaling properties on ur graphics card control panel/drivers is set correctly. cs2 reset all my settings on my Nvidia control panel so make sure to fiddle with whatever graphics settings u have there.
you sure you dont have FSR enabled? it makes the game look horrible and doesnt even seem to help with performance like fsr should
Hey Philip, is the caboosing track in this video a variation Steven made? Or is it just sped up?
An Antec 300! Had that case for many years, my first one that wasn't salvaged or given to me for free but bought with my own money. I put white LED fans in the front (fixed color, pre RGB era), it looked great!
Would be interesting to know how much difference the operating system makes. Could you maybe try a simple Linux install (something like Linux Mint, Fedora or Pop!_OS) with minimum spec and compare, since it's often said that Windows is bloated and Linux wastes way less resources if any.
It's a fact Windows is bloated and only gets more bloated
Hell it wastes power advertising to you, be it news, the weather or other irrelevant cr@p
Depends on what Linux you use, but yeah. Wastes much less resources
@@3kliksphilip With CSGO I tried both Windows via DirectX and KDE Neon (Ubuntu 22.04LTS) via OpenGL and saw a big performance improvement over OpenGL on Linux compared to DirectX on Windows 11 and I do not recall there being an option to use OpenGL on Windows, I am not sure if that is purely down to OS changes or just a change of API use from DirectX to OpenGL with driver differences between Windows & Ubuntu Linux.
I've seen CS2 performance benchmarks on some subreddit, iirc the DX11 renderer performed better than the Vulkan renderer on Windows alone, the latter aligned with the Linux client's performance; suggesting that Source 2 is better optimized for DX11 than for Vulkan (if not being DX11-only, providing Vulkan through something like built-in DXVK).
Nonetheless, @3kliksphilip I'd love to see a deep dive performance comparison between the two platforms and renderers.
I think this would be more interesting testing a selection of older hardware. Especially the i5-750 which it recommends which is from 2009 and has 4 cores.
I5 3330 and GTX 1050 ti 8gb ram ddr3 freezes mid round even though I was having 60-120 fps when they added new updates I had around 50 fps on average especially on ancient
Would be interesting to see how the older Ryzens will fair in this test. I have a R5 1400 which is also a 4c/8t part like the 12100 except way slower and on lowest preset I get around 90 fps (60 1% minimum) on lighter maps like mirage and d2, dropping closer to the 60s with 45 1% on the heavier maps like inferno. Interestingly however, in deathmatch I have quite the opposite experience of what was shown in this test. It starts off fine but as the match comes closer to its end the performance becomes progressively worse. And engagements with multiple enemies will cause heavy stuttering. My setup is paired with 16GB RAM and a 1060 and can confirm it’s definitely CPU limited as I play on 1366x768.
It’s entirely possible to get a very different experience since the 12100 is a much more capable chip than mine and the system tested was rather GPU bottlenecked as opposed to mine.
The game didn't do well even on my 3600, but a 5600 helped a lot. 5th gen ryzen and above should see a large improvement.
Subscribed for the cat! Lovely!
Love the cat gameplay
This might legit be the first time I've ever heard Philip swear lol
you haven't been around long then lol
I've been watching all of his channels for over 7 years, but I still don't remember what other time Phillip swore lol
the shutter for the first few sec is the shader compile bug. it should compile while you ware in loading screen, but sometimes the game forgot that you have changed hardware so they have to do it when a new effect is displayed.
When I watch your videos (especially when tired), the more I get through the video, the more the song wins over your voice and I shift my attention to the song ;))))
My rig is almost 12.5 years old. In the past two years I have changed a gpu and bought an extra 16 gigs of ram.
Here's the specs:
Intel core i7 4770 3.4 GHz
RTX 3060 12gb
32gb ram 1666 MHz
The game runs extremely bad at times, fps might drop down to 20, no matter what settings I choose. Its especially bad in deathmatch game mode, while in competitive fps swings around from 50 to130-150.
😅
u got like a 1 year gpu w a 10 yr old cpu in a cpu limited game

sorry i am using my 10 year old youtube account lol
Are you running on a SSD? Make sure both your OS and Games are on a SSD including your page files.
being a fan of 3kliksphilip is like playing cs2 on a 4 thread cpu with a radeon 260x
I remember how I was playing CSGO with 4 gb of DDR3 ram, a 1050 and a core2quad on an old HDD and a 1680x1050 glossy 60hz monitor and still was grinding the heck out of this game
0:56 I think they left it when csgo had cs2 beta and both together needed a lot of space
Yeah... Me with my integrated graphics doesn't do so well with CS2. I struggle to get 40fps on the absolute lowest resolutions and settings. Completed killed playing CS for me.
That sucks. But tbh you tryna game on integrated graphics? Yes of course your pc will struggle on any recent game.
play css instead
i do play css@@tostadorafuriosa69
Go play games from 2005 if you wanna game on integrated graphics lol
DDR5 has dual channel build-in each stick. So you could have bought two but used only one and still would get dual channel.
Its not as good as "real dual channel" is. Its actually like strange hybrid rather than full blown dual channel
Not true. You still need two DDR5 sticks.
I recently ran CS2 on my PS4 that modded to run Linux. The game ran at like 60% speed. It's very strange.
btw you have to remember a lot of cs players are from Eastern Europe and a lot are from Latin America. PC components are expensive in these parts of the world. So much so that it straight up says to one of my friends that he cant even start the game. Also "can be run" does not mean "playable" and "playable" means at least 60 with good visibility without freezing too often.
For some reason, I'm getting the same fps on a 8700k 1080TI. I think I would need to do a clean OS reinstallation
I would also check if any hardware component is overheating.
Yes it is 100% possible. I’m playing on an Alienware 15R2 laptop (8 years old). I7-6700hq (4cores-8threads) and an Nvidia Gtx 970m. Totally playable and never really dropping below my 144hz refresh rate. Usually about 180 FPS. But also my windows 11 is completely custom and stripped down. 54 process’ at startup, and about 70 process with steam, discord and game open. Never experience the laggy feeling that Philip is talking about. Always feeling snappy and real time responsiveness in cs2
Do you call what we saw in the video "snappy and real time responsiveness" :/ BTW: I also doubt everybody have a custom and stripped down version of Windows 11.
@KrissFliss you misread, nowhere in their comment did they say it was in the video. They said it was snappy and responsive due to their custom tweaking.
I’m playing on a 2016 MacBook Pro, which has an I7-6820hq(4 cores 8 threads 2.7ghz base 3.6 turbo) and a Radeon pro 455(2 gig) and 16 gigs of 2133 ram. Been having a lot of microfreezing issues after switching from an ltsc version of windows(because cs2 stopped supporting it) can you tell where you got yours or which tool did you use to build it. Thanks
nvidia GTX 970m has only 1 GB ram? i think it can use up to 4 or 6 GB ram.
can u share ur settings man? i’m running a i7-11800H and RTX 3070 laptop, yet im only avg around 100-120 fps
I remember 15-50 years ago we had a lan network in our apartment complex, and we always played cs, and back then smoke was an absolute fps killer, now in cs go its almost the same for my 1070

I'm surprised you didn't test 4:3 stretched or 1024x768 which, at the very least, used to be quite common, personally a resolution I still use and I'm running a laptop 3050 🤷♂. I think if you're playing on the bare bones specs quite a few people would choose such an "extreme"
I'm digging the song at 10:30 in the conclusion.
it's incredible that a game can run on hardware like that, one day CS2 will be able to run on a Tandy 386
Caboosing, Mr. Fluffykins and hardware talk. Truly a Kliksphilip moment.
my game keeps freezing (not responding) in task manager
i dont know how to fix it
should i change my gpu or cpu?
its so frustrating
Hey Phil have you played the Talos Priciple 2 yet? You got me hooked on the first one and I have thoroughly enjoyed the second
I still have that 7850 lying around here somewhere... it was a true champ back when i got it in ~2013
the stuttering that was mentioned plagueing CS2 is likely vulkan. this issue with vulkan also existed in GO, where peeking new corners, viewing new player models would cause almost a half second of frame lag in some cases. if you enable vulkan by doing %command% -vulkan and join a deathmatch, you will see what they mean.
Yeah vulkan do have issues like that, thats a good guess. I personally have a high end pc (rtx3090/5950x) and the only stutter which happens is at the very beginning of the match, a single stutter few seconds after logging into the server, but i do have installed cs2 to my HDD so it might be the issue, aside from that absolutely no stuttering during the match, in fact its much more smooth especially in deathmatches compared to csgo
Hey I had the same 120G UV400 SSD that my friend gift me in 2017. I was blown away how fast it was, which I wasn't sure how much better it would be as that thing cost more than a 1T HDD at that time. fast forward to now, you can get 1T SSD around the same price or lower and they would be even faster... tech really change fast
3kliks I had some issues with cs2 not shooting when pressing mouse 1 on occasion using a debian based linux distro. Can you show this error in your next video about cs2 on linux? It only happens in cs2 so I know it isn't an issue with hardware.
this is what i play on right now. stuttering at the start, insane loading time, and it doesnt feel like i can gain advantages most of the time.
Great video as always, but you've left me wondering... How that vertigo 5vs1 clutch ended??? I'm disappointed that the ending wasn't included.
You also get weirdly cold hands when gaming with mouse and keyboard?
This has basically been my experience with CS and CS2 for the past 6 years of playing. Getting a playable frame rate isn't the tricky part I found, actually seeing the enemy is the tricky part. On absolute minimum settings the game is so grainy I couldn't see people on Dust 2 from Catwalk to the back of Lower Tunnels, and god forbid someone was holding a tight angle where you can only see their half their torso. I would lose 70%~ of engagements I came into. I couldn't run my browser and CS at the same time and the stutters you mention would happen well into the first minute of the game.
Since getting a PC that can run CS at 140fps on max settings in the past 2 months, I'm now WINNING 70%~ of my engagements. Turns out I'm not shit at the game, I literally just couldn't see who I was supposed to be shooting at and I'm slowly climbing ranks way past my 6 year peak. Upgrading from an integrated graphics card and an i5 (I think) to a 1660 and a Ryzen 5 has been literally life changing for all aspects of my university and gaming experiences. It's let me completely rediscover the enjoyment I get from playing and making games.
Would've loved to see you try to play it on the integrated graphics.
I've been experimenting with CS2 on my laptop that has an Intel Core i5-1155G7, Iris Xe graphics and single-channel 8 GB of RAM. It sounds like it wants to fly off my desk when playing a match while only averaging like ~40-50 FPS at 720p (without FSR, because it doesn't make much difference).
I was impressed I could play this on just a 7600x and it's integrated graphics.
Experience was about the same in the video if not a little better or worse depending on situations
