CSGO BEST SETTINGS Benchmark Tested

Benchmarking and analyzing each setting individually to find the optimal settings for the best performance and best graphics. My goal is to improve everyone's gaming experience!

UPDATE: Setting Effect Detail to VERY HIGH is necessary in some instances for the additional objects to be present if you want to line up certain smoke throws.
UPDATE: Setting Global Shadow Quality to HIGH will also increase the distance at which enemies have shadows. Also on MED some people find the distance at which shadow quality degrades to be distracting as you move around the map. If you can spare the FPS, consider turning this one to HIGH.

Optimized CSGO Settings:
Global Shadow Quality: MEDIUM
Model / Texture Detail: HIGH
Texture Streaming: DISABLED
Effect Detail: HIGH
Shader Detail: HIGH
Boost Player Contrast: ENABLED
Multicore Rendering: ENABLED
Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: 8X MSAA
FXAA Anti-Aliasing: DISABLED (currently not working)
Texture Filtering Mode: ANISOTROPIC 16X
Wait for Vertical Sync: DISABLED
Motion Blur: DISABLED (currently not working)
Use Uber Shaders: ENABLED

UPDATE: MSAA setting will have a much larger performance impact on older video cards. Recommendation is still 8x for GTX 900/1000/2000/3000 series or equivalent.

UPDATE: Some online resources say that Effect Details affects fire smoke differently at different distances. I've tested this and it does not seem true: https://youtu.be/EB9OatDxMyA
