I recently purchased the new LG 32" OLED 4K 240Hz dual mode 1080P 480Hz which is ideal for working and gaming with 1 monitor.
Currently only playing 1 game which is CS2 and don’t really care about quality but do about performance.
I was rocking a AMD 6800XT but i had some fps drops which were uncomfortable so i thought well lets upgrade to a 4080 super and fix all those issues.
Well i can tell you the upgrade for 1080P high/low settings was a real disappointment.
Because i was not convinced and even doubted the GPU was even working like it should i started to do extended testing and benchmarking CS2 and i would like to share my findings.
Setup:
AMD 7800X3D
ASUS TUF Gaming B650 Plus
AMD 6800XT / NVIDIA 4080 Super
DDR5 6400Mhz Hynix A-Die
For the tests i have used CapFrameX as the application for measuring the fps and latency.
I had a dual boot system with Windows 10 Pro for the AMD 6800XT and the other for NVIDIA 4080 Super
Test scenario:
Practice > competitive > mirage > join T side
Kick all bots and go top mid in the (left) corner pointing towards window and aiming on the ground on a specific “dot” i used as a marker.
I ran the CapFrameX for 30 seconds and once the recording started i threw a smoke and 1 second after it fully bloomed thrown a grenade into it.
I usually tested twice after launching because the first run always had a peak in stutter/latency on both systems.
I have also ran the FPS Workshop map on both systems.

I’ve learned a lot from this testing and optimizing and here are my findings.
The AMD x3D CPU’s are really awesome for FPS in CS2 however the 1% lows can feel bad.
Using good DDR5 RAM and if possible overclocking this for lower latency is really helping a lot.
As for other optimizations here is a list i used on both partitions so it was all the same.
BIOS:
AMD 7800X3D BCLK 100 FCLK 2133Mhz
LLC4 PBO -35 Curve Optimizer
DDR5 6400Mhz overclocked to CL28 giving me a latency in AIDA64 of 58ns
Windows:
Game mode OFF
Disable Game Bar:
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay* | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay* | Remove-AppxPackage
Check disable fullscreen optimizations
Install Process Lasso Performance Mode

Texture filtering Mode ANISOTROPIC 4X
Shader Detail LOW
Particle Detail LOW
Ambient Occlusion MEDIUM
HDR Quality
FidelityFX DISABLED
The NVIDIA 4080 Super did improve a lot on my FPS using the 4K 240Hz mode on my monitor but i prefer performance > quality and i think i’m not alone here :)
