AMD Adrenalin settings for CS2

On Radeon cards it is best to create a separate CS2 profile in AMD Software so global settings do not interfere with the game.

🔧 Where to set it

• Open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition.

• Go to Gaming → Games and select Counter-Strike 2. If it is missing, add it via Add a Game and choose cs2.exe.

📌 Recommended values

• Radeon Anti-Lag: Off. Instead, enable AMD Anti-Lag 2 directly in the CS2 video settings — it is built into the game.

• Radeon Chill: Off — it limits FPS.

• Radeon Boost: Off — it lowers resolution while you move.

• Radeon Image Sharpening: optional, 50–80% makes the image sharper.

• Enhanced Sync: Off.

• Wait for Vertical Refresh: Always off.

• Texture Filtering Quality: Performance.

• Tessellation Mode: Override application settings, Off.

🎯 Good to know

In 2023 the old Anti-Lag+ feature caused VAC bans in CS2, and AMD withdrew it. Only use Anti-Lag 2 built into the game, or nothing at all.

⚠️ Tip

A major driver update can sometimes reset the profile — check it if your FPS suddenly drops.
