Planning on picking up a 500Hz monitor ahead of the upcoming\u00a0Counter Strike 2 release date? Well, there\u2019s a chance Valve\u2019s multiplayer game won\u2019t make full use of the new standard, as churning out a matching frame rate appears to be a chore. That\u2019s not to say you\u2019ll ever have to go out of your way to boost fps to triple digits in Counter Strike 2, but even the mighty Nvidia RTX 4090 won\u2019t necessarily satiate speedy screens like the Alienware AW2524H.<\/p>\n

Counter Strike 2 could become the next best FPS game within the esports scene, so it\u2019s only natural to assume players will aim for higher frame rates than ever. Naturally, manufacturers are already gearing up to help the industry reach new performance heights, with 500Hz screens making their debut alongside GPUs like the one featured in our Nvidia RTX 4090 review.<\/p>\n

However, if early gameplay glimpses by Twitch streamer Michael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek are anything to go by, maintaining over 500fps in Counter Strike 2 could be a challenge. During a recent stream, the Canadian content creator switched on a frame rate counter using a prompt, and fps mainly appeared to hover between 200-400fps.<\/p>\n
