Changing Refresh Rate in CS2?

To change the refresh rate in CS2, go to the settings menu, then the video tab. Make sure that the display mode is set to full-screen, as other settings won’t allow refresh rate adjustments. After setting it to full-screen, choose your desired refresh rate from the available list and apply the changes.

If this is still confusing, follow the steps below to make sure your refresh rate is set up correctly:

  • Step 1: Launch CS2 and enter the settings menu.

  • Step 2: In the settings menu, select the “Video” tab.

  • Step 3: Set “Display Mode” to “Full Screen.” You won’t be able to adjust the refresh rate unless it’s set to full screen.

  • Step 4: In the “Refresh Rate” setting, click the dropdown arrow to see available options.

  • Step 5: Choose your desired refresh rate, then click “APPLY CHANGES” in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will apply the selected refresh rate..

Learn CS2 The Right Way

Free resources are helpful, but they often leave gaps in your learning. Connecting the dots on your own can lead to mistakes and wasted time.

Conclusion

Before adjusting your refresh rate, check if your monitor supports multiple rates. If it only supports a single rate, you won’t be able to make changes. But if it does allow for multiple options, you’re ready to set your new refresh rate in CS2.
