scoreboard ping, net_graph, or ping in console
console will show you the number for the millisecond you put it in console. i would say it's the most "accurate" but it's not always the most representative of your average ping to the server
SeltzerHow do I get ping to pop up in Console?
type ping
type ping
The scoreboard ping is a rolling average (i think over 5s). Net_graph ping depends on your computation time (fps) and has a shorter time period for its averaging, so you can consider that your actual latency value at that moment.
Console ping I'm not sure since it is consistently higher than net_graph and I haven't compared it with pinging the server outside of the game. A quick search shows that nobody knows how it works, so will need somebody knowledgeable to answer here.

net graph is most accurate because if u type net_fakelag x in console on a local server, the game gives you that ping. net_graph then displays exactly that ping. Scoreboard and console are both incorrect there.
