CS2
CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the iconic tactical first-person shooter, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Developed by Valve, it promises to revolutionise the competitive FPS scene with updated graphics, refined gameplay mechanics, and new features. Players can expect the same intense tactical gameplay that has made the franchise so popular, but with a fresh coat of paint and exciting new additions.
In Counter-Strike 2, the 9060 XT was 5% slower than the 5060 Ti but more than made up for it in the 1% lows, an area where NVIDIA can be hit or miss. The uplift over the 7600 XT is now much smaller too, at just 22%, but at such high framerates, it is nothing any gamer would notice, but is still enough to come in 6% faster than the RTX 5060, which comes in with terrible 1% low figures to boot.
At 1440p, things look quite bad for the 9060 XT, essentially matching the performance of the RTX 5060, though again, the 1% low figures for NVIDIA are a real point of contention, and AMD still shows a sizeable 21% increase over its older brother, the 7600 XT.
