Counter-Strike 2 on GeForce GTX 780

Well above recommendedEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes. The GeForce GTX 780 is well above Counter-Strike 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~133 fps at 1080p high (range 93–172, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~93 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 3 GB of video memory covers the 1 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · low confidence, ±30%

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
144 fps at 1080p: medium preset

This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 780 back.
Processor needed for ~133 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
