Estimated average fps by resolution and preset.
Our estimate puts the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at about 176 fps on High at 1080p in Counter-Strike 2, which means it runs comfortably. On Low the same card manages about 300+ fps, and on Ultra about 126.
The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.
For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Ultra (about 126 fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 91 fps); 4K: High (about 70 fps).
Counter-Strike 2 lists 8 GB of RAM and a processor of the 4 hardware CPU threads - Intel Core i5 750 class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.
For reference, the next card up in our list, the GeForce GTX 1660 Super, is estimated at 233 fps on High at 1080p, so you have room to raise settings or resolution on the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
Our estimate is about 176 fps on High at 1080p, and about 300+ fps on Low. Verdict: Yes, runs great.
At 1080p, Ultra holds about 126 fps. At 1440p, Ultra holds 60 fps. Even 4K is possible on High.
Counter-Strike 2 lists 8 GB as its minimum. The graphics card does not change that: with less memory than the minimum the game can stutter or fail to start whatever card you have.
