Is CS:GO getting slower? Harder to run? Well… yeah. But as usual, the devil is in the details, and I’m all about those pointless little details. Let’s see what’s slowing it down, and by how much.

PC Tested: Ryzen 2200G (4 core CPU based on… Ryzen 1.25-gen tech? And Vega 8 Graphics CUs)
‘High’ settings – 1080p, highest everything + 8x MSAA. Multicore enabled
‘Low’ settings – 720p, lowest everything, no AA. Multicore still enabled
