In this video, I test Counter-Strike 2 on a budget PC in 2026 using Ryzen 3 3200G with Vega 8 integrated graphics and 16GB RAM, without any dedicated graphics card. Many players are wondering whether this older APU is still capable of handling CS2 competitively in 2026, especially after multiple updates and performance changes.
This benchmark shows real gameplay performance at 720p and 1080p with Low and Medium settings. I analyze average FPS, 1% lows, overall smoothness, input responsiveness, and whether this setup is still playable for competitive matches. The gameplay is recorded using OBS with no fake FPS or artificial tweaks.
If you’re planning to build a low-budget gaming PC or you’re still using Ryzen 3 3200G without a GPU, this test will help you decide if it’s still worth using in 2026 or if it’s finally time to upgrade.
