video settings

Main Menu Background Scenery - Personal preference
Brightness - 105%
Aspect Ratio - 16:9 (Or 4:3 if you want stretched resolution)
Resolution - Set to your monitor's native resolution
Display Mode - Fullscreen
Laptop Power Savings - Disabled
Boost Player Contrast - Enabled
Wait For Vertical Sync - Disabled (Enabling causes input lag!)
Current Video Values Preset - Custom
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode - None (Minor FPS gain)
Global Shadow Quality - High (Gameplay advantage at High or Very High!)
Model / Texture Quality - Low (Minor FPS gain)
Texture Filtering Mode - Bilinear (FPS gain)
Shader Detail - Low (FPS gain)
Particle Detail - Low (FPS gain)
Ambient Occlusion - High (Gameplay advantage at High!)
High Dynamic Range - Performance (Minor FPS gain)
Fidelity FX Super Resolution - Disabled (Avoid this smudgy setting!)
NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency - Enabled + Boost (Major FPS gain)
HUD Edge Positions - Personal Preference

The key to getting the best CS2 video settings is to set most things to the lowest setting but set Global Shadow Quality and Ambient Occlusion to High. This is very important because these settings both allow you to see enemy player shadows, which can give you a very serious advantage when peeking or holding corners in Counter-Strike 2.

Very important note: CS2 is still not visually unstable you need at least to get MSAA x2 cause some visuals renders more correctly, that is discussed in a 3kliksphilip video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw8ld0xOx6w ]. so never make MSAA set to none like this post suggests.
