[FPS Benchmarks] CS:GO on NVIDIA GeForce MX450 (GDDR6/25W) and MX350 (25W) – MX450 is 52% faster on average
Just like CS: Source and CS 1.6, CS:GO is a super-popular game mainly because of its successful gameplay formula that still attracts new players every day. Unlike its predecessors, CS:GO was transitioned to the free-to-play model and now everyone can download the game and play it right away.
