SV is like the heartbeat of the CSGO server, showing how fast it pumps out updates. VAR is the mood swings, showing if the server's having a good or bad day performance-wise. You want a fast heartbeat and no mood swings for the best game play!

Honestly, unless you're really into the technical side of gaming or a pro looking to optimize every little detail, SV and VAR are just fancy numbers. Good to know, but they won't change how you rush B.

SV (Server Tick Rate) basically measures how often the server updates its game state per second. A higher SV means a smoother experience because it's updating more frequently. VAR, on the other hand, stands for variability and shows the consistency of the server's frame time. Lower VAR numbers mean a more stable server performance, so if you're seeing spikes, you might notice some in-game lag.
