We’re starting this process in-game. First, click the cog in the top left corner of your Counter-Strike 2 client, and select the “Video” tab. Then, head to “Advanced Video” and select the following settings. CS2 AMD users will see the best results for FPS and visibility in-game with these:

Boost Player Contrast: Enabled
Wait for Vertical Sync: Disabled
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: CMAA2
Global Shadow Quality: High
Model / Texture Detail: Medium
Texture Filtering Mode: Bilinear
Shader Detail: Low
Particle Detail: Low
Ambient Occlusion: Disabled
High Dynamic Range: Quality
FidelityFX Super Resolution: Disabled (Highest Quality)

These are the best CS2 settings in-game, to set yourself up for success when playing the full Counter-Strike 2 release. If you’re still having issues, we’d recommend bringing down the Global Shadow Quality, although this can cause visibility issues with the shadows in-game.

After you’re done in-game, open your AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition. Then head to the “Gaming” tab along the top, and select your CS2.exe file. As with our CS2 NVIDIA settings guide, you may need to find this manually for selection. Once you’re in the settings, select the following options:

Radeon Super Resolution: Disabled
AMD Fluid Motion Frames – Manual: Disabled
Radeon Anti-Lag: Enabled
Radeon Chill: Disabled
Radeon Boost: Disabled
Radeon Image Sharpening: Disabled
Radeon Enhanced Sync: Disabled

Depending on your system, a few of the above options may not appear while playing with your CS2 AMD settings. If they don’t, there’s nothing to worry about. As long as you’ve followed the rest of our steps, you should be good to go and fully set up with the best CS2 AMD settings!
