iM CS2 Settings: Full Config, Crosshair & Peripherals

Mihai "iM" Ivan is a professional Counter-Strike 2 player from Romania, currently under Natus Vincere. iM made a name for himself through his miraculous run at the BLAST Paris Major with GamerLegion where he came in second place.

Since then, he was picked up by Na’Vi and immediately became a Major winner. He is a very consistent rifler, and you should definitely check out all of his settings and peripherals below!

iM CSGO Settings

First things first, let’s go over iM’s CS2 settings. 

Mouse Settings

iM is an incredible rifler, and such precision is probably thanks to his mouse settings, so let’s check it out:

  • DPI: 400
  • Mouse Sensitivity: 2.3
  • Effective DPI (eDPI): 920
  • Zoom Sensitivity: 0.98
  • Hz: 2000
  • Windows Sensitivity: 6

Generally, most riflers prefer playing on a low effective DPI. However, iM uses a DPI of 400 and a sensitivity of 2.3, meaning his eDPI adds up to 920. This is quite high for a professional rifler, but iM still makes it work. 

Crosshair Settings

Next on the list is iM’s crosshair settings. If you’re wondering how he aims so good, this might be the reason:

  • Style: Classic Static
  • Follow Recoil: No
  • Dot: No
  • Length: 2
  • Thickness: 0
  • Gap: -2
  • Outline: No
  • Color: Cyan
  • Red: 255
  • Green: 255
  • Blue: 255
  • Alpha: Yes
  • Alpha Value: 250
  • T Style: No
  • Deployed Weapon Gap: No
  • Sniper Width: 0

iM is using a thin, light-blue crosshair. However the length is relatively large for a professional crosshair. Still, it is definitely a safe crosshair to try out in your games.

You can copy iM’s crosshair immediately using the crosshair code below:

Viewmodel Settings

Now, we’ll talk about iM’s viewmodel settings. You should copy this if you want to figure out how iM’s screen looks like while he’s in game:

  • Field of View (FOV): 60
  • Offset X: 0
  • Offset Y: 1
  • Offset Z: -2
  • Presetpos: 0

iM actually uses a very unique viewmodel, choosing an FOV value of 60 and a very unorthodox set of viewmodel offsets. These settings put his gun in the middle of the screen, which obstructs less vision. 

You can copy iM’s viewmodel immediately using the viewmodel commands below:

Viewmodel Config (Copy and Paste)
viewmodel_fov 60; viewmodel_offset_x 0; viewmodel_offset_y 1; viewmodel_offset_z -2; viewmodel_presetpos 0;

Video Settings

Now that we’ve gone over iM’s game settings, we can carry on to his video settings. 

Video

The first set of settings we’ll cover is the most relevant settings, including the resolution and aspect ratio:

  • Resolution: 1280×960
  • Aspect Ratio: 4:3
  • Scaling Mode: Stretched
  • Brightness: 122%
  • Display Mode: Fullscreen

 

Like most professional players, iM uses the popular 1280×960 resolution, meaning he’s running a 4:3 aspect ratio and a stretched scaling mode. One interesting thing to point out is that he plays on 122% brightness, which is incredibly high. Copy at your own risk!

Advanced Video

Aside from his resolution and aspect ratio, you can also copy iM’s entire advanced video settings if you want your screen to look like his:

  • Enable Player Contrast: Disabled
  • V-Sync: Disabled
  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
  • NVIDIA G-Sync: Disabled
  • Maximum FPS In Game: 0
  • Multisampling Anti-Aliasing Mode: 4x MSAA
  • Global Shadow Quality: Very High
  • Dynamic Shadows: All
  • Model / Texture Detail: Low
  • Texture Filtering Mode: Anisotropic 4x
  • Shader Detail: Low
  • Particle Detail: Low
  • Ambient Occlusion: Disabled
  • High Dynamic Range: Performance
  • FidelityFX Super Resolution: Disabled (Highest Quality)

Overall, iM mostly plays on lowest settings, choosing to get as much performance as possible as every frame counts when you’re competing against the world’s best. 

Other Settings

If you want to learn more about iM’s settings, here are some additional settings you might be interested in.
