The Counter-Strikes games are one of the most popular of all time. CS:GO (Counter-Strikes: Global Offensive) is not an exception – the title often tops the STEAM & GAME STATS chart, especially since the game became free-to-play.
In terms of graphics, the title looks okay for today’s standards. In addition, the game is really light and this is one of the biggest advantages of CS:GO. Even some low-end iGPUs like the Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 (48EU) can achieve 65 FPS on Low quality. For this article, we have prepared two decent GPUs – the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (95W) and RTX 3050 (75W).
