If you're looking to boost your gameplay smoothness by changing the FPS cap, just remember: higher isn't always better. Find a cap that matches your monitor's refresh rate for the best experience. Still, uncapping it completely with 'fps_max 0' can be tempting if you're not worried about potential screen tearing.

Changing your FPS cap in CS:GO is pretty straightforward. All you gotta do is open the console (you might need to enable it first in the game settings) and then type in 'fps_max' followed by the number you want to cap it at. So, if you want to cap it at 120 FPS, you would type 'fps_max 120'. Hit enter, and you're all set!

Pro tip: If your game feels a bit off after changing the FPS cap, make sure VSync is off in your settings. VSync can limit your FPS based on your monitor's refresh rate, which might conflict with the fps_max setting you just adjusted.

Actually, just set it to fps_max 0 and forget about it. Why cap your potential? Let those frames run wild and enjoy the buttery smoothness!
