The reasons for the high system requirements of CS 2

Honestly, I can't understand the phenomenon of CS 2's high system requirements. Okay, if we're talking about Battlefield 6, there are a bunch of locations, the realism is amazing, and there are different mechanics. But in a regular shooter, where the maps change once a year for no apparent reason? I can't explain it, maybe you can? Or am I really missing something or don't know something?

Just compare how grenades explode in CS 2 and CS:GO. The smoke used to be almost transparent, it didn't block anything, and I got hit in the head many times through it, but in the new version, it became textured, and you can only see the enemy with cheats. I read an article on VRedux about how to optimize CS2 performance because my RTX 1080 is not enough for the recommended requirements, but it's good that I've passed the minimum threshold. By the way, who bought a cheat with an FPS boost from them? I'm interested in it, but I would like to read reviews from experienced players and users.
