Counter-Strike 2

Counter-Strike 2 with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 shows a wide spread of measured frame rates across resolutions and presets. The pairing ranks 733rd out of 1632 tested combos, and the data spans 434.4 fps at 1920x1080 Low down to 75.4 fps at 3840x2160 Ultra. The CPU is an 8-core/16-thread Zen 3 part with a 4.60 GHz boost clock, while the GPU is an Ampere-generation card from the GeForce 30-series.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop CPU on the AMD Socket AM4 platform, based on the Zen 3 architecture with a 3.80 GHz base clock and a 4.60 GHz boost clock. It has 16 MB of L3 cache, a 65 W TDP, and dual-channel DDR4 memory support. The CPU is manufactured on a 7 nm TSMC process, and it includes Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics, although the test pairing uses the discrete NVIDIA GPU.

Benchmark results place the 5700G in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25626. That score is 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which averages 25706. It is 0.4% ahead of the Intel Xeon D-2752TER at 25532, 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core 5 210H at 25490, and 0.6% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U at 25485. These are small margins, meaning the 5700G sits in a dense cluster of CPUs with broadly similar average performance.

For a game like Counter-Strike 2, the single-thread and multi-thread balance matters. The 5700G scores 2930 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 2016 in Geekbench single-core, and 899 in 3DMark single-thread. Multi-thread scores are 20755 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 8970 in Geekbench multi-core, and 24419 in PassMark multithread. In the measured CS2 data, the 1080p Low result of 434.4 fps shows that the CPU can feed the GPU with very high frame rates when resolution and settings are not loading the GPU heavily.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database’s Counter-Strike 2 tested combo list, the Ryzen 7 5700G plus RTX 3070 pairing ranks 733rd out of 1632 combinations. That is near the middle of a large field of tested CPU and GPU pairings. The CPU is in the 83rd percentile and the GPU is in the 72nd percentile, yet the combo’s in-game placement is not at the top of the list. The measured FPS data shows that a strong CPU percentile and a strong GPU percentile do not automatically translate into a top-tier combo rank in this title.

The combo rank reflects the measured behavior of these two components together in Counter-Strike 2. At 1080p Low, the pairing is extremely fast at 434.4 fps. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 75.4 fps. That range helps explain why the combo sits where it does in the ranking: it is very capable at lower resolutions, but less dominant when the GPU is asked to render at 4K with high settings.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution has a pronounced effect on the measured average FPS. At Low settings, the combo goes from 434.4 fps at 1920x1080 to 289.7 fps at 2560x1440, then to 161.7 fps at 3840x2160. At High settings, the progression is 271.7, 177.2, and 98.8. At Ultra settings, it is 210.5, 140.8, and 75.4. Medium settings follow the same pattern: 363.8 at 1080p, 238.4 at 1440p, and 131.6 at 4K.

The frame rate drops sharply as resolution climbs, which indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset stays at 210.5 fps, so the CPU has enough throughput to keep up when the GPU is less stressed. At 4K, the GPU is clearly under heavier load, and the highest measured 4K result is 161.7 on Low. The gap between the 1080p Low result of 434.4 and the 4K Low result of 161.7 shows how much of the performance is tied to resolution and GPU load.

The measured rows report average FPS only; min and max values are not present in the data. The preset ordering is consistent at every resolution: Low is fastest, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra. At 1080p, all four presets produce high averages, with Low at 434.4 and Ultra at 210.5. At 1440p, Low and Medium remain above High and Ultra, with 289.7 and 238.4 compared to 177.2 and 140.8. At 4K, only Low reaches 161.7, while Medium, High, and Ultra settle at 131.6, 98.8, and 75.4.

FAQ

Q: What does the combo rank of 733rd out of 1632 mean?

A: It means this specific pairing lands in the middle portion of the tested combinations for Counter-Strike 2. The CPU is in the 83rd percentile and the GPU is in the 72nd percentile, but the measured in-game combo performance is 733rd out of 1632.

Q: Does the CPU or the GPU limit frame rate?

A: The measured data points to the GPU becoming the limit as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo averages 434.4 fps, showing high CPU throughput. At 4K Low, the average drops to 161.7, and at 4K High it drops to 98.8, which is consistent with growing GPU load.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows give clear guidance for settings choices. At 1920x1080, Low is the fastest option at 434.4 fps, but Medium at 363.8 and High at 271.7 are also very high. Ultra at 210.5 is the slowest 1080p preset, but it remains a strong result. For maximum frame rate, Low is the obvious choice at every resolution. For a mix of visual quality and speed at 1080p, Medium or High both deliver high averages.

At 2560x1440, Low at 289.7 and Medium at 238.4 are the most comfortable choices for high-refresh play. High at 177.2 is still usable, while Ultra at 140.8 is the slowest 1440p preset. At 3840x2160, Low at 161.7 is the only preset above 131.6. Medium at 131.6 is the next step down, followed by High at 98.8 and Ultra at 75.4. For 4K play, Low is the recommended preset, with Medium as the alternative when visual quality matters more than frame rate.

If the priority is simply the highest measured average FPS, use Low at all resolutions. If the display is 1080p and visual quality matters, High at 271.7 and even Ultra at 210.5 are worth considering. At 1440p, High remains above 177.2, but Low and Medium give more headroom. The data set contains no min or max FPS values, so these recommendations are based on average FPS only.
