## Find the native CS2 game

Valve’s Steam listing is the game destination for Counter-Strike 2. It is separate from Surfd and browser projects using older Counter-Strike-related names.

Start from the official listing when you want to install CS2, read publisher information, or check the current game requirements.

## Check the listed requirements

The Steam Windows minimum lists Windows 10, four hardware CPU threads, 8 GB of RAM, and a compatible DirectX 11 graphics card. Requirements are a starting check, not a promise of a particular frame rate.

Compare your PC with the live listing before changing settings. A Windows optimization tool does not replace missing game requirements.

## Make a repeatable settings comparison

Pick one repeatable practice scene. Record your resolution, quality settings, and the symptom you want to improve. Change one available setting at a time and repeat the same scene.

Keep browser surf timings separate from native CS2 performance. They are different projects and workloads. For Radiant’s currently available settings, inspect the application and its current documentation rather than assuming an older profile list remains complete.

## Questions and answers

### Can I play the native game in this directory?

No. Use the publisher or official store entrance for installation and play.

### Has Radiant performance been measured for this game?

No. This is a source-based setup guide, not a benchmark or FPS guarantee.
