PC for Counter-Strike 2

Valve publishes compatibility minimums, not an official hardware-by-hardware FPS table.

Documented noindex draft: requirements and configurations are sourced, but the page publishes no FPS without applicable evidence.

Data-based recommendation

Resolved intent

For 144 or 240 FPS, CPU, scenes and competitive settings must be measured together.

Three configuration levels

These tiers qualify a compatibility envelope from official requirements. They do not promise a frame rate.

Matching prebuilt PCs

PCs are selected automatically from their processor, graphics card, memory, storage, price and availability. A close configuration may differ from the reference configuration on some components.

The gap is measured against the BUILD budget, which covers components only. A machine sold prebuilt also includes the case, assembly, operating system, warranty and the retailer margin: a positive gap is therefore expected, and does not mean the machine is overpriced.
