Update " Panorama UI "

Since Panorama UI update, theme changed a lot, but video settings in game still like old theme. So you still can use my tutorial settings to get your best experience in CSGO

Step 1

Open Audio Settings

- Select "Stereo Headphones"
- Select "Disabled (Compatibility Mode)" - ( Old UI )
- Select "No" in Advanced 3D Audio Processing - ( Panorama UI )

Old UI

Panorama UI

Step 2

Copy this "+snd_use_hrtf 0" ( without quotes ) and paste it in launch option

Step 3

Open "Control Panel" ==> "Sound"

You can find it in View by: Large icons

If you use View by: Category, go to "Hardware and Sound" ==> "Sound"

Right Click to Your "Default Device" ==> "Properties"

Go To "Advanced"

In "Default Format" , make sure you select "16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality)"

In "Exclusive Mode" , make sure you untick "Allow applicantion to take exclusive control of this device"

Select "Apply" and "Ok"

Another notes

- Make sure you remove any "-threads" command from CSGO launch options

- If you want more FPS, you can untick "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game"

- You can use "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache" to remove old files and junk files

- Update your graphics card drivers
You can find it here : http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

- In "Adjust image settings with preview" , make sure you select "Use the advanced 3D image settings"

- In "Manage 3D settings" , select tab "Program Settings"

Tab "1. Select a program to customize" , use "Add" and select CS GO

Tab "2. Specify the settings for this program" , make sure you setting like that

- Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames : 1
- Multi-Display/Mixed GPU Acceleration : Single Display Performance Mode ( Some new drive don't have this setting anymore, so you can ignore it )
- Power Management Mode : Prefer Maximum Performance
- Shader Cache : Off
- Texture filtering - Quality : High Performance
- Threaded optimization : On
- Vertical Sync : Off

New Update 2019

Nvidia Driver 436.02 or Above

"Low Latency Mode" has replaced "Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames". This new setting has three levels: Off, On and Ultra. You can try Ultra, but if you encounter frame problems, you can switch to On ( same with the Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames : 1 )

- In "Configure Surround, PhysX" , make sure you select your Nvidia Card, not CPU

- Make sure you use ''High performance" , you can find it in tab "Power Options" inside Control Panel

Questions & Answers

- This guide i refer in another guide and some youtube video . Because i use both of source fix in another guide and youtube video so i want to write something to help another gamer . Anyway, thanks for source help

- Please note that "Fix FPS Drop" can't work with all of computer. Because maybe some error can be from Window, Virus, etc . So please don't complain when nothing change after you try to fix it

- Use "Disabled (Compatibility Mode)"

Disable 3D Audio will increase FPS, because some old CPU can't handle this new setting

- Use "+snd_use_hrtf 0" command

This command will turn off 100% "Stereo Headphones (HRTF)"

- Use "16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality)" and untick "Allow applicantion to take exclusive control of this device"

This setting will use the normal setting audio in window, And don't let CSGO to take exclusive control audio, so CPU don't need to share more resource for audio setting while we in game . CPU Resource will use for graphic in game better

- Remove any "-threads" command

We don't need this command anymore . Because now CSGO full support for Multicorre Rendering . Keep this command will drop fps, i don't know why so i just remove it

- Untick "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game"

Don't use Steam Overlay will give you more FPS, but i need to chat and use web browser when i play, so i don't untick it

- Use "Verify Integrity Of Game Cache"

This tool will help you remove old files and junk files in long time you play . It also fix some errors occurred maybe will have after some new update

- Update your graphics card drivers

Of course new driver will bring more FPS for any games

- Select "Use the advanced 3D image settings"

Because now Nvidia Driver full support for any games, so use this setting will improve your FPS better than "Let the 3D application decide" or "Use my preference emphasizing" . In "Manage 3D settings" , you can easy setting depend on your computer specs

- In "Configure Surround, PhysX" , make sure you select your Nvidia Card, not CPU

PhysX is power by Nvidia so they will support better than you use "CPU" or "Auto-Select" . I turn on "Multicore Rendering" so CSGO will use more CPU resource . That why i use Phyx in GPU so the computer will have balance resource in CPU - GPU

- Use ''High performance"

Because this setting will use 100% power of computer, so will give you more FPS while in game . If you use "Balanced" or "Power saver" , computer will have limit power for CPU and GPU, so you can't play game with high FPS

- Turn on "Multicore Rendering"

Turn on this setting will let CSGO use more core and threads of CPU, so will have more FPS . If you turn off this setting, CSGO just use one core and threads, so will have lower fps than turn on

- My CSGO Launch Options

This is a normal launch option command, but have some special like +cl_forcepreload 1 ( load map faster ) , -nod3d9ex ( alt+tab faster without black screen ) , +snd_use_hrtf 0 ( turn off 100% Stereo Headphones (HRTF) ) ...
