Now, knowing the most popular terms in the game, all you have to do is choose a counter build, for example,

When players log into the CS and see sudden changes in FPS, especially when everything was working as it should yesterday, most often the cause is high var. Initially, its value ranges from 1 to 1.5, so any indicators greater than this number will greatly affect the feeling of the game. There is often a drop in FPS, decreasing with each new round. Therefore, if the frame rate jumps from 250-300 to 50-80 after 2-3 rounds, then the solution to this problem is to lower var. Let's look at what this parameter means and how to lower var in CS GO for a comfortable game.

What is var in CS GO and why does it increase

Many players do not fully understand what is var inC.S. GO and why it might change. Most often, it is customary to pay attention only to FPS and pnig, while other parameters mean little. However, even with quite normal level frame rate, with high var the game will slow down. The decrease in FPS will occur gradually, from round to round, especially if there are many people on the server.

var itself is a kind of counter that determines whether there are differences in the FPS indicator. Even with a high frame rate, players report that var jumped from 2 to 5, making the game almost impossible. Fine maximum rate should not exceed 1.5 units.

How to lower var: the very first steps

If you see that the sv and var indicators are red in the game, then first you need to do a number of basic manipulations, namely:

  • Check for updates;
  • Look in the system settings and disable all processes that load the memory and video card;
  • Check your PC for viruses.

Most often, this is already enough to reduce var if the reason was in the PC itself.

How to remove delay and reduce var using settings

Among the main reasons why var may become higher than usual, the most common are hardware problems. To reduce it, set all settings to minimum. Next, go into the game, create more bots or go into regular matchmaking and look at the smoothness. If the drawdowns have disappeared and this has led to a stable low var, then this decision was successful.

if you love beautiful picture and don’t want to play with minimal settings, then you need to experiment with each item separately. First of all, we remove detail, anti-aliasing, shadows, shaders and effects.

What to do if var jumps: console commands and FPS settings

Now let's look at the most radical and effective ways that can guarantee to correct the situation with increased var. You should switch to them only when you have tried all the previous options and no longer know what to do if var is raised inC.S. GO .

First of all, you need to fix the FPS. Often var is affected by the frame rate being too high, so normalizing this parameter can help. To do this, go to a densely populated server and fix the minimum FPS. It's best to check it where a large number of effects, explosions, smoke and gunshots. If it is difficult to find a full server, then create a map with the maximum number of bots.

Next, use the command “fps _max N”, where instead of N there will be the minimum FPS + 30% of the current value. In general, there will be a slight decrease in numbers, but in terms of smoothness and performance of the game, the situation will improve. If this was not enough to solve the problem, then the “mat_queue_mode” command will definitely help. Use a range of values ​​from 5 to -5 to find var and FPS that you are comfortable with. Usually, the default value is set to 2 in the client.
