CS2 performance issue

maloni91 — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 08:01:14 GMT

Hi, for the past few months i always have performance issue in counter strike 2. I always have small freezes from 0.5-2 seconds , every few rounds. I am just not sure what causes a problem is it my graphic card or processor. I am using i7 14700k and Arc A750. drivers are always updated. i updated bios twice but the issue is still there (for the past 8 months). i have good power supply 32gb ddr5 ram and samsung 990 pro . I dont think PC spec are low to play this game. Does someone have similar issue and any way to fix this ?

i attached ssu report

Hi maloni91,

Thank you for posting in the communities!

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing performance issues on your system while playing CS2. I appreciate you sharing the Intel SSU beforehand for me to check on it.

No worries, for me to further investigate on this, may I know the following details:

Is the game working fine before? if yes, did the issue happen after a driver or software update?
What digital gaming platform did you install the game?
What is the exact model of the monitor that you're using?
Are you using a HDMI or DisplayPort cable?
Can you also provide us the game settings that you're using while playing CS2?

Once we have this information, we will be able to proceed with the next course of action and work towards resolving the issue you are facing. Your cooperation is invaluable in helping us provide you with the best possible support.

Hi maloni91,

Thank you for patiently waiting on us.

We tried to replicate the issue on our end but receive a minimal stuttering. We also tried the latest Graphics driver version 32.0.101.6790 and there are times that there are zero freezing.

For us to further troubleshoot the issue, try following these steps:

Download the latest GPU driver version 32.0.101.6790, please make sure that you perform a DDU first before installing the latest version.
1. Latest GPU version link: Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows*
2. DDU link: How to Use the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to Uninstall an...
After updating the latest GPU drivers, try running the game again, kindly try to get a short video of the game so we can check if theres still issues.
