Steam method is overrated. Console command 'cl_showfps 1' for life!

Super easy to get your FPS counter up in CS:GO! Just open the Steam overlay in-game by hitting Shift+Tab. Go to 'Settings', then 'In-Game', and look for 'In-Game FPS counter'. You can select where you want the FPS counter to appear on your screen. Remember to check the 'High contrast color' box if you want it to be more visible against all backgrounds!

If you're into customization, don't stick to just FPS. Console command 'net_graph 1' not only shows FPS but also your ping and packet loss. It's a bit more cluttered but super informative for those looking to optimize their gameplay.

Honestly, just use the in-game console for a more 'pro' approach. First, make sure the console is enabled in the game settings. Then, press the `~` key to open it up and type 'cl_showfps 1' to get your FPS displayed. It's lighter on resources than the Steam overlay method and gives you that cool hacker vibe.
