    Hi all,

    I have issue with my site generating wrong code somewhere. I assumed it is connected with the AMP plugin as Google Search Console indicates an issue at this specific url:

    https://spawnterror.com/cs2-fps-optimization-guide-2024-edition-with-benchmarks/amp/

    The error I’m getting is:

    CSS syntax error in tag ‘style amp-custom’.

    AMP pages with this issue are invalid. Invalid AMP pages aren’t served on Google

    Screenshot of the error box (something isn’t working here, so no screenshot).

    More information that should have been a screenshot:

    Instance 1/1

    CSS syntax error in tag ‘style amp-custom’ – end of stylesheet encountered in prelude of a qualified rule

    <p>It’s hard to keep Counter-Strike 2 running smoothly because updates can slow it down. If your game stutters or has low frame rates, this guide will help. We’ll go step-by-step and test each change to show you what really matters. Forget about those “magic” commands and scripts you find online that don’t actually do anything! This guide shows you the real way to improve your game’s performance, whether you have a slow or fast computer. We tested every setting and tip ourselves, so you can see what makes the biggest difference. We’ve looked at almost every tip on the internet and put the best ones here.</p>

    <p>For the remainder of this optimization guide, the following machine and specifications were used for testing:</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-code has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background"><code>Microsoft Windows 11 PRO
    Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
    Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700K, 3600 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s)
    Motherboard PRO Z690-A DDR4(MS-7D25)
    Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 32.0 GB Corsair 3200 (A) (2x16GB)
    Graphics Card MSI RTX 3080 Suprim 10GB
    Crucial P3 500GB 6000/s</code></pre>



    <p>This guide helped improve the game’s frame rate, but not by a huge amount. However, the game now feels much smoother and the frame rate stays above 144 frames per second. Here are the best results we got for average frame rate and the lowest 1% of frame rates.</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-code has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background"><code>Average FPS
    275 up to 400

    %1 Low FPS
    119 up to 150</code></pre>



    <p>I used an LG monitor with a screen resolution of 2560×1440 and a refresh rate of 144Hz for these tests. I played Counter-Strike 2 at a resolution of 1440×1080 stretched, without black bars on the sides, to maintain a 144Hz refresh rate. I also briefly tested the game at the monitor’s native resolution to see how much the frame rate dropped.</p>

    <p>It’s easy to get lost in the sea of “optimization tips” floating around the internet. But beware. Some outdated advice and persistent myths can actually <em>harm</em> your CS2 performance. Outdated launch options, deprecated commands, and even certain graphics settings might seem like quick fixes, but they can often lead to lower FPS, instability, or even crashes. For example, do you remember this:</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-code has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background"><code>threads X</code></pre>



    <p>You might think that using all of your computer’s processing power would make Counter-Strike 2 run better, but that’s not always true. For example, setting your CPU threads to ‘X’ might actually reduce your FPS by up to 10%. This shows that some ‘optimization’ tricks can actually make things worse.</p>



    <p>This guide will teach you the best ways to improve your Counter-Strike 2 performance. Only use the CPU threads option if you’ve tested it like we show you below and it actually improves your average and low frame rates.</p>

    <p>This step is <strong>optional</strong>, although very, very recomended. If you are really serious about getting to the bottom of it and optimise the game completely. A clean install of Windows will help. Over time, your computer accumulates a lot of unnecessary files and programs that can slow it down. This includes old apps, leftover files, and even broken registry entries. These things can negatively affect your performance in CS2.</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-code has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background"><code>A clean install of Windows removes all of the problems, giving you a fresh start. It also gets rid of <strong>old shader caches, large cache files, and community maps</strong> (this is only temporary - the game will re-download everything) that might be slowing down your PC.</code></pre>

    <p>After reinstalling Windows, you can skip most of the below steps and focus on adjusting launch options, changing settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, and optimizing your in-game video settings. You can also create an autoexec file for advanced commands. This is way easier and will guarantee that you maximise your chances in higher FPS and less stutter.</p>

The steps below offer similar benefits to a clean install of Windows and Counter-Strike 2. They've been tested and benchmarked to provide the best possible results. However, while these steps can significantly improve performance, they might not be as completely effective as a full system reinstall.</pre>



    <p>If you choose to do a clean install of Windows, you’ll need to download a fresh copy of your operating system. You’ll also need to reinstall Counter-Strike 2. Once you’ve done that, you can come back here for more steps that will help you set up the best possible configuration for CS2. This includes creating an autoexec file, optimizing your NVIDIA Control Panel settings, and adjusting your in-game video settings.</p>



    <p>This step wasn’t needed to improve the game’s performance in this guide. If you recently installed Windows and haven’t changed it much, you can skip this step. But for most people, this is the best way to make sure your system is running as smoothly as possible.</p>

    <p>Before you start changing your game settings, it’s helpful to know how well Counter-Strike 2 is running right now. You can do this by benchmarking the game, which basically means testing your performance and getting an FPS (frames per second) score. This score shows you how smoothly the game runs on your current settings.</p>



    <p>Benchmarking is important because it lets you see how different settings affect your performance. When you change a setting, you can benchmark again and see if your FPS goes up or down. This helps you find the best combination of settings for your computer.</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-code has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background"><code>To accurately measure your FPS, you'll need a consistent testing environment. A popular choice in the CS2 community is 'CS2 FPS BENCHMARK by Angel &amp; Ariana', available on the Steam Workshop. This map provides a controlled scenario for reliable benchmarking.

    <p>Remember those launch options you used to fine-tune Counter-Strike: Global Offensive? With the arrival of Counter-Strike 2, they’re no longer relevant. Valve has completely overhauled the game’s engine and configuration, making previous launch options obsolete. So, if you’re accustomed to adding commands to your game shortcut, you can skip that step now – they won’t affect CS2. However, there are a few exceptions for executing autoexec.cfg or other custom configuration files, which are covered in a separate post.</p>

    <ul class="wp-block-list">
    <li>I removed the ‘Threads’ option from the game’s launch options.</li>



    <li>I turned off NVIDIA Reflex in the game settings.</li>



    <li>I turned NVIDIA Reflex back on and set it to ‘Enable + Boost’.</li>



    <li>I turned off G-Sync in the NVIDIA Control Panel.</li>



    <li>I turned G-Sync back on in the NVIDIA Control Panel and set Low Latency to ‘Ultra’ and Power Management to ‘Prefer Maximum Performance’.</li>



    <li>I turned Low Latency to ‘Off’ and Power Management to ‘Normal’.</li>



    <li>I changed in-game Multisampling to ‘CMAA2’ and Shadow Quality to ‘Medium’.</li>



    <li>I turned Low Latency back to ‘On’.</li>



    <li>I changed Multisampling back to ‘2 x MSAA’ and Shadow Quality back to ‘High’.</li>



    <li>I turned off ‘Player Boost’ in the game and set NVIDIA Reflex to ‘Enable’.</li>



    <li>I set ‘Threads’ to ’13’.</li>



    <li>I turned ‘Player Boost’ back on.</li>
    </ul>



    <p>I tested the game’s performance twice before updating the graphics driver. The only thing that seemed to help was <strong>removing the launch options</strong>. </p>

    <p>One often overlooked aspect of this optimization is managing your NVIDIA shader files. These files, while essential for rendering in-game graphics efficiently, can sometimes become outdated or corrupted, leading to performance hiccups like stuttering and lower frame rates.</p>



    <p>There are many methods floating around the internet that claim to clear these shader files, but they often don’t work completely or are overly complicated. Thankfully, a simple PowerShell script exists that does the job correctly and efficiently. Purging these old files allows your system to rebuild a fresh, optimized cache, ensuring smoother gameplay and potentially even boosting your FPS.</p>

    <p>Display Driver Uninstaller, or DDU, is a tool that completely removes graphics card drivers from your computer. When you install new drivers through normal methods, sometimes old files get left behind. These leftover files can cause problems with the new drivers, like making your games stutter or crash.</p>

    <p>DDU makes sure everything from the old driver is gone before you install a new one. This clean install helps prevent problems and can even make your games run better.</p>



    <p>You don’t need to use DDU every time you update your drivers. It’s most useful when you’re having problems with your graphics or when you’re switching from one brand of graphics card to another (like from AMD to NVIDIA).</p>



    <p>If you’re looking to maximize your performance and boost your FPS in Counter-Strike 2, especially if you’ve been experiencing low frame rates since the <a >Armory Update</a>, it’s important to take this step. </p>

    <p>Steps 3 to 5 helped improve the average and 1% low frame rates the most, which is what I expected. The ‘shadercache’ script didn’t do anything on its own, but correctly removing the graphics driver with DDU improved the frame rates the most. This is because the game files and NVIDIA cache can become cluttered over time, which is why it’s important to clean them up regularly.</p>



    <p>Unfortunately, Valve released an update around this time that made the game’s performance worse again and undid all the improvements I had made. Thanks, Valve!</p>

    <p>After you finish step 5, you’ll need to change a few settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel. To improve your performance in CS2, set everything as shown below:</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-code has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background"><code><strong>Adjust Image Settings With Preview set to Performance.
    </strong>
    After DDU / new driver update, this will get reset to Quality.

    Remember to come back and set it to Performance.</code></pre>



    <p>Test number 13 shows what happens to the frame rate when the NVIDIA setting is changed back to ‘Quality’. It makes the average frame rate a little lower and the 1% low frame rate a lot lower.</p>

    <p>Out of all the settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, only these two really made a difference in the frame rate. You can see the results in the table at the end of this guide.</p>



    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="STEP_7_TESTING_POPULAR_TIPS_AND_TRICKS_FROM_THE_INTERNET"></span>STEP 7: TESTING POPULAR TIPS AND TRICKS FROM THE INTERNET<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>



    <p>In this part of the guide, we’re going to do what many Counter-Strike 2 players do: try random launch options from the internet. We found some options on a website, but they didn’t work at all.</p>



    <p>Unfortunately, the <strong>totalcsgo website</strong> offer these launch options:</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-code has-luminous-vivid-amber-to-luminous-vivid-orange-gradient-background has-background"><code>+engine_low_latency_sleep_after_client_tick true +fps_max 0 -nojoy -high -fullscreen +mat_disable_fancy_blending 1 -forcenovsync +r_dynamic 0 +mat_queue_mode 2</code></pre>



    <p><strong>Some of these DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE, some will reduce your FPS!</strong></p>



    <p>Many players try to find the perfect combination of settings to improve performance, but it doesn’t exist. The best way to improve performance is to follow the steps we outlined earlier:</p>



    <ul class="wp-block-list">
    <li>Start with a clean system.</li>



    <li>Make sure your graphics driver is up-to-date.</li>



    <li>Remove any unnecessary launch options.</li>



    <li>Don’t use the ‘threads’ launch option.</li>



    <li>Clean up your autoexec config file.</li>



    <li>Adjust the advanced video settings for the best performance and visibility.</li>
    </ul>



    <p>There are no secret tricks to improve performance in Counter-Strike 2. The game runs well on many different computers. You don’t need to try a bunch of different things to make it run well.</p>

    <p>Looking at the “Average FPS” column, there seems to be a general trend of slightly higher values when GeForce Experience is disabled. This suggests a small but potentially noticeable performance gain. The improvement seems more pronounced in the “1% Low FPS” column. This is important because 1% lows have a significant impact on perceived smoothness and responsiveness, especially during intense gameplay moments.</p>

    <p>The ‘CMAA2’ multisampling option makes it hard to see enemies, as you can see in the photos. It’s better to use ‘2 x MSAA’ because it makes enemies easier to spot behind certain materials on the maps, like on Vertigo in the photo. We can lower other settings to reach our goal of at least 145fps for the 1% low frame rate while still using ‘2 x MSAA’ multisampling.</p>

    <p>Setting shadow quality to medium improves FPS a bit, but what happens if we set it to low? It still shows all the important shadows, so we can probably turn it all the way down without losing important information. This is the initial benchmark, later on we will confirm it still shows all the in-game shadows even if we set it to Low.</p>

    <p>Setting the in-game preset o <strong>Low </strong>gives the biggest performance boost, but it’s not the best overall. The shadows don’t show up, and FidelityFX is set to performance mode (we’d rather have it on quality, but performance mode might be okay for slower computers). Also, dynamic shadows are set to ‘sun only’, which means enemy shadows don’t appear. That’s a big disadvantage, so we won’t use that setting. It is still being benchmarked to compare the FPS results.</p>

    <p>Turning this OFF doesn’t make any real difference, and it might even lower your average frame rate and 1% lows. Counter-Strike 2 is already well-optimized for this, so you don’t need to worry about it.</p>



    <p>If you have a low-end PC, you can try it, but make sure to test your performance before and after. Let us know if it helps, but only if you have the test results to prove it. I will <strong>leave this ON</strong> as the results show no advantage to have this option disabled.</p>

    <p>Time for a break! Let’s increase the resolution and see how it changes our performance. It looks like we lose about 10 to 20 frames per second when we switch to full HD (1920×1080) and 2560×1440, respectively. The 1% low frame rates mostly drop below our target of 144Hz. This isn’t a huge change, but it’s expected because the graphics card has to work harder with higher resolutions.</p>

    <p>Around the 17th, Counter-Strike 2 got an update that fixed some problems with the video settings. This seems to have improved the average frames per second a bit. Even when we set FidelityFX to ‘Default’ (the highest quality), it didn’t really affect performance and we got the highest average FPS we’ve seen so far.</p>

    <p>Changing these settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel (like shader cache size or hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling) lowered the average frame rate by about 10 frames per second. It’s up to you to decide if those extra 5-10 FPS are worth changing from the default settings.</p>



    <p>Since graphics drivers are updated frequently, it’s generally a good idea to stick with the default settings to avoid any compatibility problems in the future. These tests show that Counter-Strike 2 is already well-optimized, and changing system settings doesn’t really make a difference. It is ultimately up to You.</p>

    <p>Overall, these settings prioritize achieving high frame rates and smooth gameplay (especially important for competitive CS2) while maintaining decent visual quality. They are likely a good starting point for players looking to optimize their CS2 experience, particularly those who prioritize responsiveness and FPS.</p>



    <p>It’s important to remember that the optimal settings can vary depending on your specific hardware and preferences. Experimenting and benchmarking with different settings is always recommended to find the best balance for your system.</p>



    <p>Here’s a breakdown:</p>



    <p><strong>Display Settings:</strong></p>



    <ul class="wp-block-list">
    <li><strong>Resolution:</strong> 1440×1080 – This resolution offers a good balance between visual clarity and performance. It’s less demanding than higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K, resulting in higher frame rates, however, as seen on benchmarks above, it is OK to use higher resolution</li>



    <li><strong>Display Mode:</strong> Fullscreen – Fullscreen mode generally offers the best performance as it dedicates the graphics card resources solely to the game. Fullscreen has not been tested and it was assumed it is used.</li>
    </ul>



    <p><strong>Graphics Settings:</strong></p>



    <ul class="wp-block-list">
    <li><strong>Global Shadow Quality:</strong> Low – Lowering shadow quality can significantly boost FPS. In this case, it’s set to low, still providing essential shadow information without overly impacting performance.</li>



    <li><strong>Model / Texture Detail:</strong> Low – Reducing model and texture detail lessens the load on the graphics card, leading to higher frame rates.</li>



    <li><strong>Texture Filtering:</strong> Bilinear – Bilinear filtering is less demanding than higher-quality filtering modes, contributing to better performance.</li>



    <li><strong>Shader Detail:</strong> Low – Lowering shader detail reduces the complexity of visual effects, improving FPS.</li>



    <li><strong>Boost Player Contrast:</strong> On – This setting helps players stand out from the background, improving visibility without a significant performance hit. Has no impact on med, high PC specs.</li>



    <li><strong>Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode:</strong> 2 x MSAA – MSAA smooths out jagged edges, and 2x MSAA offers a decent balance between visual improvement and performance cost.</li>



    <li><strong>FXAA Anti-Aliasing:</strong> Off – FXAA is another anti-aliasing technique, but it can make the image look blurry. It’s turned off here likely to maintain image sharpness.</li>



    <li><strong>Texture Filtering Mode:</strong> Anisotropic – Anisotropic filtering improves texture clarity at angled views. It has a moderate performance impact.</li>



    <li><strong>Ambient Occlusion:</strong> Off – Ambient Occlusion adds realistic shading and depth to the scene but can be demanding on performance. It’s disabled here for better FPS.</li>



    <li><strong>High Dynamic Range:</strong> Off – HDR can enhance the visual range but requires more processing power. It’s off in this configuration.</li>



    <li><strong>FidelityFX CAS:</strong> Off (Highest Quality) – FidelityFX CAS is an upscaling technology that can improve performance. It’s set to its highest quality mode, prioritizing visuals over maximum performance gains.</li>
    </ul>



    <p><strong>Advanced Settings:</strong></p>



    <ul class="wp-block-list">
    <li><strong>Motion Blur:</strong> Off – Motion blur can be visually distracting for some players and is disabled here.</li>



    <li><strong>Dynamic Shadows:</strong> ALL – this is a must have. This setting set to Sun Only will only renders shadows cast by the sun, reducing the processing load compared to rendering all dynamic shadows, however, it won’t render an enemy player in specific locations with sources of lights.</li>
    </ul>

    <p>This CS2 optimization guide should still be helpful in 2025 unless there’s a major engine upgrade. Remember the basics: keep your PC cool and clean, avoid unnecessary programs and registry tweaks, and don’t rely on unproven launch options or internet “magic.” Always test your settings to see what actually works for your system. Some settings might not have a noticeable impact, so you can safely use them without sacrificing performance. By following these tips and testing your own settings, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable CS2 experience./</p>



    <pre class="wp-block-verse has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background">Optimal performance was achieved by removing the graphics driver using DDU in safe mode, clearing the shader cache for Counter-Strike 2 with a PowerShell script, removing all unnecessary launch options, and keeping only the autoexec file. Shadow details were lowered to 'low', while dynamic shadows were kept set to 'all' and texture filtering was changed to Anisotropic 4x instead of 16x.</pre>

    <p>Valve has updated the game, and for the first time, they have managed not to break the frame rate. However, they have introduced a significant lag compensation system. As a result, enemies often teleport on screen for players with lower pings. Bullet registration is also highly inconsistent. Comments like the one below are common, with many arguing that the issue lies with players’ home network setups. This is a widespread misconception, as the real problem stems from Valve and their developers.</p>

    </figure>


    <div class="gb-container gb-container-">

    <p>The Steam Game Recording feature update introduces a built-in tool within the Steam client for users to easily capture and record gameplay. The tool is currently in beta and aims to offer seamless integration without needing external recording software. This feature is designed to provide minimal impact on system performance, making it easier for users to share clips or footage directly through Steam’s platform. It supports various settings for customization, including resolution and frame rate options.</p>

    </div>


    <p><a >https://store.steampowered.com/gamerecording</a></p>



    <p>Does Steam Recording affect performance? Yes, but despite its many useful features, the impact is relatively modest. If you typically achieve high frame rates, you should consider using the Steam Recording feature. It includes handy options like adding keyframe indicators, which let you easily mark and revisit specific moments. It can even automatically tag video clips in real-time with events like ‘bomb planted’ or ‘exploded.’ In terms of performance, the feature reduces average FPS by about 20, but it doesn’t significantly affect 1% lows. Refer to the comparison table below. Note: All benchmarks were conducted in sets of three.</p>

    Could you please point me in the right direction regarding resolving this issue? It is a first time for me and I lack experience with WP and plugins.

    Hello @sp4wn0r

    Thank you for reaching out to us, It seems there is syntax error in one of the CSS which is added by your theme or any one of plugins which might be causing AMP invalidation error.

    I found out that following CSS is responsible for it

    :root :where(ul.has-background {
    		padding:1.25em 2.375em
    	}

    Please check what is adding this CSS code and remove it replace it with a more specific selector.

    We hope this helps!
