Counter-Strike 2 was released in 2023. We list 38 published FPS results for it from GameGPU and Notebookcheck, covering 15 graphics cards. 24 of them hit a frame cap, CPU limit or VRAM limit in the source and count as lower bounds. Steam lists Video card must be 1 GB or more and should be a DirectX 11-compatible with support for Sha… as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 0 of 14 times.

Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Counter-Strike 2, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
