Upgraded from 3070 Ti to 9070 XT but getting lower FPS in CS2 matches (higher FPS in benchmark maps)

Troubleshooting

Hey all,

I upgraded from a RTX 3070 Ti to a Radeon 9070 XT recently.
I mainly did this for the extra VRAM since I play games like Cyberpunk 2077 and other heavy titles.

But in CS2, I’m getting lower FPS in actual matches, even though benchmark workshop maps show higher FPS.

Specs:

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
  • GPU: Radeon 9070 XT
  • RAM: 8gb x 2 (16gb unchanged)

Has anyone experienced this? Any known fixes or settings to tweak on AMD cards for CS2?
Not sure if this is an optimization issue, driver problem, or if CS2 just prefers Nvidia.

Any help is appreciated.
