Fix Launch Options (Most Reliable)
Open Steam Library, right-click Counter-Strike 2 -> Properties.
Under General, find Launch Options.
Add -freq X (replace X with your monitor's Hz, e.g., -freq 144, -freq 240).
2. Adjust Windows & Game Settings
Set Windows to Max Hz: Go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced display, and select the highest refresh rate.
Use Fullscreen: Set CS2 to Fullscreen (not Windowed or Borderless) within the Video Settings, as other modes can force 60Hz.
Disable Dynamic Refresh Rate: Some users report that disabling "Dynamic Refresh Rate" in Windows settings prevents this issue.

3. GPU Control Panel Settings
NVIDIA: Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Select CS2 > Preferred refresh rate -> set to Highest available.
AMD: Check Radeon Settings to ensure the resolution/refresh rate matches the native monitor settings.
