With a low resolution comes a blurry mess, and Stewie2k knows that. His video settings work in harmony with his monitor to bring about clear and visible objects on the screen.

This comes about by high Anti-Aliasing and the maximum texture details the game can throw at you. With such a low resolution, these settings become a no-brainer.

Stewie2k’s Video Settings are as given: 

Boost Player Contrast Enabled
Wait for Vertical Sync Disabled
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode 4X MSAA
Global Shadow Quality Very High
Model / Texture Detail Very High
Texture Filtering Mode Anisotropic 16X
Shader Detail High
Particle Detail Low
Ambient Occlusion Disabled
High Dynamic Range Quality
FidelityFX Super Resolution Disabled [Highest Quality]

Viewmodel Settings

Your in-game model visible on the screen can sometimes take up a huge chunk of your display, making it harder to see the other objects. These other objects could very well be other enemies that you could have a harder time reacting to. Just like most settings, this also mostly comes down to player preference.

Stewie2k uses pretty subtle ViewModel settings in CS2. He also prefers to have the ViewModel not take up a lot of space by having the stock almost out of view.

You can also have the same view with the following settings: 

FOV 68
Offset X 2.5
Offset Y 0
Offset Z -1.5
Presetpos 3
Console Code: viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3; 

Launch Options

Stewie2k uses a couple of launch options in CS2 to give him a slight edge in the game. He sets his frequency/refresh rate to 240, game priority to high, and disables the entry video to give himself a few extra seconds when loading in. While not extremely game-changing, it is better to have these options enabled if not at all.

Launch Options: -freq 240 -high -novid

To apply these launch options, go through the following steps:

  1. Open Steam and locate CS2 in your game library.
  2. Right-click on it and click on Properties.
  3. In the General tab, click on Launch Options.
