I tried CS2 yesterday and it had better graphics but felt laggy during play with other players. From what I've seen online, lots of people feels like it's just not smooth, which is pretty critical for a shooter.

I'm playing in 144Hz but it feels like 60hz and i get frequent lag spikes.

You guys tried it yet?

I'm also on Linux of course, don't want Windows crap. :)

Nice. Since this is a PC Gaming community, I just assumed Windows since the original post didn't mention Linux specifically, but it's always good to see a fellow Linux user out in the wild!

What GPU are you running? I am on an Nvidia 3090.

When you say it feels like 60hz, is it a consistent 60? You may want to check to see if your compositor is interfering. I've had situations where the compositor bugs out and refreshes slower than the active monitor refresh rate.

Also with lag spikes, do they feel network related or more like shader cache stutter?

I will try to play again and see. I'm on Amd Radeon 6800 XT. I'm not actually on 60Hz but it just feels like everything is lagging and being a bit behind... I will enable the frame counter and see. :)

Not sure if it's network related but I don't think so, got a very fast 500 Mbit connection and used to have like 6 ms ping in old Counterstrike... Not sure what I have now, but will check some more.

Does it feel like input lag or do you mean players are rubber banding and / or your shots feel off? If it's input lag, I would def double check your compositor settings. Also, are you using RADV or AMDVLK?
