"Mastering Counter-Strike 2: Optimal Settings, Wall-Kill Woes, and Noclip Secrets"
A Counter-Strike 2 player conducted tests to determine the impact of different video settings on input lag. The player found that Vertical Sync (VSync) should be turned off to reduce input lag, as it adds 15 milliseconds. Multisampling Anti-Aliasing mode at 8x MSAA adds 0.89 milliseconds of lag, while settings like model, shader, and particle details have minimal impact. Global Shadow Quality and Ambient Occlusion add 0.30 ms and 0.33 ms respectively. Overall, the impact of these settings is small compared to VSync, so players can enjoy CS2's graphics without significant input lag.
