2023-10-03 08:45:08

“Counter-Strike 2” (Absolute Force 2) was finally officially launched last week. For some players who want to review this ultra-classic first-person shooting game, they will definitely want to know how to get good image quality performance, such as: 4K60FPS, what kind of graphics card is needed to run it? A few days ago, well-known hardware media TECHPOWERUP tested 40 graphics cards, ranging from 1080, 2K, to 4K image quality. It was finally confirmed that even the previous generation of entry-level graphics cards can meet the 4K60FPS requirements of “Counter-Strike 2” , which means that it can run smoothly without a very good graphics card, especially for players who do not pursue 2K or 4K image quality. “CS2” actually tested the performance of 40 graphics cards. RTX 3060 and RX 5700XT can meet 4K60FPS. A few days ago, foreign media TECHPOWERUP released a test report of 40 graphics cards in “Counter-Strike 2”. NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics cards are available. The matching test platform is Intel Core i9-13900K, EVGA Z790 Dark motherboard, the Resizable BAR function is turned on, the memory is 2x16GB Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG DDR5-6000, and the operating system used is Windows 11 Pro 22H2. In this report, TECHPOWERUP also shared comparisons of actual game screens, which will not be compiled here. Those who want a more in-depth understanding can click on the link at the end of the article to jump to the TECHPOWERUP website. The first is the amount of VRAM used. For 2K and 1080p, a graphics card with 8GB VRAM is enough. For 4K, a graphics card with 10GB or more will be more stable. Of course, 8GB is also possible, but I would recommend a little more to be safer: Set the picture quality to the highest , as for the 1080p resolution part, you can see that the most flagship RTX 4090 24GB can run 541.3FPS, even the RTX1060 6GB several generations ago has an average performance of 106.1FPS, and the AMD RX 580 8GB can also run 77.6FPS, and now the price is super The cheap Intel Arc A750 8GB can also reach 99.5FPS. It can be seen that if you are already satisfied with 1080p, then the graphics card from a few years ago is enough: 2560×1440 In terms of resolution, there are no high requirements. , both RX 6500XT and GTX 1060 6GB can run above 60FPS, while RX 580 8GB is not enough, with an average FPS of only 52.3: The most popular 4K resolution, NVIDIA basically RTX 40 series and RTX 30 series ( Except for RTX 3050 8GB) all can run to 4K60FPS or above. AMD has to choose. For the RX 7000 series, it must be RX 7700 XT 12GB or above. For the RX 6000 series, it must be 6600XT 8GB or above. Otherwise, choose RX 5700 XT 8GB. This one also has 68FPS performance. As for Intel, you need to buy an Arc A7700 16GB to barely get close to 60FPS: Compared with other new games, “Counter-Strike 2” is a shooting game that does not require graphics card performance. Some old computers can run it, even relying on internal graphics. That’s okay, but you just can’t ask for too high image quality settings. Click here to read the complete test report of TECHPOWERUP.
