After "CS2" was launched on September 28, the peak number of online users reached 1.46 million in just one day. This game is built using the Source2 engine, which features realistic physics-based rendering and supports virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, providing developers with more creative possibilities while also making a significant leap in the visual effects of the game.
Today techpowerup released the performance test data of this game, let’s take a look.
The test platform is i9-13900K, dual-channel 32GBDDR56000MHz memory, and TPU tested a total of 40 graphics cards, covering mainstream GPU models from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel.
From the perspective of memory usage, at the highest quality, 1080P resolution will occupy 4.6GB of memory capacity, 2K resolution will require 5.3GB, and 4K resolution will greatly increase to 7GB.
But no matter how you look at it, 16GB of memory is enough to meet all the needs of this game.
At 1080P resolution, there is no very obvious gap between high-end graphics cards. The top three are all occupied by N cards, especially the performance of RTX3090Ti is actually better than RX7900XTX, which is indeed a bit surprising.
Intel's two graphics cards, ArcA770, have a frame rate of 150FPS, and ArcA750 also has a frame rate of 140FPS, ensuring smooth operation without much problem.
When it comes to 2K resolution, the gap becomes clear. RTX4090 is nearly 100 frames faster than RTX4080. AMD's flagship RX7900XTX finally surpassed RTX3090Ti, although one is 323FPS and the other is 321FPS, which is only 2 more frames.
At this resolution, Intel's two graphics cards can still maintain an operating frame rate of about 100FPS.
At 4K resolution, the frame rate of almost all graphics cards is directly cut in half, and the performance is only half of that of 2K resolution or even lower.
At this resolution, RTX4090 is 30% stronger than RTX4080, but RTX4080 does not have a big gap with the previous generation RTX3090Ti, which once again surpassed RX7900XTX.
If you want to achieve a frame rate above 144FPS, you need a graphics card above RTX3090, not even RTX4070Ti. Only one graphics card from AMD, the RX7900XTX, meets the standard.
