The Nvidia RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti can play Counter-Strike 2 at high resolutions without breaking a sweat. These GPUs were initially launched as 4K gaming graphics cards in the last-gen Ampere lineup. They continue to deliver top-notch performance in the latest and most demanding video games, and the new shooter from Valve is no exception.
Performance in CS2 is a bit worse than what gamers used to get in CS:GO. However, with a few tweaks, CS2 also plays at sky-high framerates on the last-gen 80-class graphics cards. We will list the best settings combination for these GPUs in this article.

The RTX 3080 can handle CS2 with a mix of high and very high settings applied. We recommend setting multisampling anti-aliasing (MSAA) to 4x because 8x can tank performance. Besides this, we also recommend sticking to 1440p on the 3080 for high framerates.
