Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - A 30 Min Guide to Improve Your Aim/Reflexes by ImThour

Before starting, I would like to tell you that this training will take only 30 Minutes. I found a great way with the same old maps you already played but this time, our approach will be different. Hope you will have a good read!

Practice #1 - Aim Warmup (10 Mins is Max):

• Map Name: aim_botz
• Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=243702660

What we have to do on this Map:

• Click on Aimbotz Challenge, Select 90 degrees in challenge mode and 100 Kills.
• Do it 4 times with AK47 (100 Kills), M4A1/M4A4 (100 Kills), Glock (100 Kills) and USP/P2000 (100 Kills) making it a total of 400 Kills.
• Try only taps, No spray or burst required. Doesn't matter if you do slow in the first, regular work will automatically make you faster.

Practice #2 - Reflex Warmup (10 Mins is Max):

• Map Name: training_aim2016
• Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=629715830

Settings for this Map: Settings for this Map

What we have to do on this Map:

• Set your Map settings as shown in the picture above
• Select AK/M4 and click start
• Once completed, you can go on Stage 2 and Stage 3 and similarly all the stages.
• There are 5 Stages which makes the maximum time to spend on this map is 10 Minutes.

Practice #3 - Retake Servers (1 Full Game is Recommended):

• Find the nearest retake server: CS:GO Retake Servers
• Play Atleast 1 Full Game
• If you didn't played retake before, A Small Description for you: In this map, There will be 5v5 situation, T will plant and defend the bomb plant while CT will try to push the site and defuse the bomb. Real clutches happens here.

Some Tips:

• I do not prefer going to Valve Casual/DM, Community Servers FFA DM and Retakes are filled up with better players. So if you want to get good, play with good players
• This whole training will take about 30 minutes a day but will have great impact on your skills within a week if done properly.
• Practicing Recoil is not necessary, You will get that by time and the more you play. Bursting is the best option available to get a better KDR.
• KZ servers are extremely helpful in learning better mouse movement therefore increasing aim. Thanks to -Char_13
• Excessive Playing will ruin your game play, So do not play constantly. Stand up and have some good walk or exercise after a game.
• Drinking Water while playing is the best option to stay calm and focused.

Hello,

So after a good research and testing i am here to tell you the best 3d settings you can use for getting the highest FPS on your PC. I am sure most of the users will be getting a FPS boost from this, I am not saying 100+ or so. So, Let's get started!

1. Opening Nvidia Control Panel:

• Close CS:GO if running.
• Right click on your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.

2. Select the right option:

• Now once you open the control panel, move on to Adjust Image settings with preview.
• Make sure the option Use the advanced 3d image settings is selected.

3. The Best 3D Settings:

• Make sure you are on Manage 3D Settings tab before going further.
• Select Global Settings and Change Each of your settings to the below mentioned ones.

Change Your Settings to these:

• Ambient Occlusion: Ambient Occlusion is simply put, a lighting effect that drastically improves shadows on geometries. Select OFF.
• Anisotropic Filtering: It enhance the image quality of textures on surfaces by reducing fuzziness and blur. Select Application Controlled.
• Antialiasing FXAA: It defaults at Off since games naturally had their own AA options. Select OFF.
• Antialiasing Gamma Correction: It refers to the correction of brightness values within an AA enhanced image. Setting this on and off has no performance impact but has an effect on the brightness of some antialiased textures. Select OFF.
• Antialiasing Mode: Select Application Controlled.
• Antialiasing Transparency: This is pretty much another AA implementation. Select OFF.
• CUDA GPUS: allows you to select which graphics processing unit will use CUDA for general computing functions. Games with Nvidia PhysX technology benefits with CUDA enabled GPUs. Select all for the best possible performance.
• DSR Factor: DSR or Dynamic Super Resolution is basically an improved down sampling method. It allows the graphics card to render the game at a higher resolution than your display could provide and outputs it using your native resolution. Select OFF.
• Maximum Pre-rendered Frames: It is a buffer used to store data in preparation to be used by the GPU. How much frame should be prepared ahead is govern by this setting. Set it to 1.
• MFAA: It refers to another AA method, similar to MSAA but it doesn’t feature the same performance impact. Select OFF.
• Power Management Mode: Modern GPUs can set their power usage under various scenarios and this setting pertains to that feature. Select Prefer the Maximum Performance.
• Shader Cache: It is a feature to optimizing 3D application load times and CPU performance. Select OFF.
• Texture Filtering - Anisotropic: Select OFF.
• Texture Filtering - Negative LOD Bias: Negative LOD Bias refers to texture sharpening by inputing a negative Level of Detail value for mipmap selection. Select Allow.
• Texture Filtering - Quality: This setting controls Anisotropic Sample Optimization and Trilinear Optimization. Select High performance.
• Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization: Select OFF.
• Threaded Optimization: It is the setting that manages multi-threading optimizations for 3D applications. Select ON.
• Triple Buffering and V-SYNC: Triple buffering allows performance improvements on games if V-SYNC is turned on and V-SYNC is an anti-tearing teachnology, synchronizing the framerate with the monitor’s refresh rate. Select OFF for CS:GO.
• Virtual Pre-Rendered Frames: This limits the frames the CPU can prepare for VR devices. The setting is set to 1 by default. Set it to 1.

Alright, Now you have got the best 3d settings for CS:GO, You can try these things mentioned below to get a little bit boost.

• Use this command: cl_forcepreload 1
• Verify Integrity Cache.
• Run these commands: snd_updateaudiocache and snd_rebuildaudiocache and restart CS:GO.
• set fps_max to 0 or 999.
• Only use these launch options: -novid -tickrate 64/128 -freq 60/120/144 +mat_queue_mode 2. Other doesn't really helps you to improve FPS.
• Run Disk Defragmenter programs. Don't defrag an SSD. It shortens the life span of the drive as they have a limited number of read/write cycles.
• Stop unwanted programs from running on system start. Go to task manager -> Startup and disable unwanted programs.
• Temp Files. Open Run (Win+R) -> Type: %temp% -> Delete everything you can in the folder.
• Set Power Management Mode to High performance.

Hope this will work for you and if you need any help, comment here. I will be happy to help you all. It may not work for some users due to different system configuration but in my opinion, this is the best.
