Dealing with lag spikes in CS:GO can be super annoying, but here are a few tricks that might help. First, check your internet connection and try using a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi for a more stable online experience. Also, lowering your game’s graphics settings can help reduce the load on your hardware. Don't forget to update your graphics drivers and close any background apps that could be hogging your bandwidth or CPU.

Honestly, it could just be your ISP being inconsistent. If the usual fixes like checking your connection, updating drivers, and lowering settings don't work, it might be time to give them a call.

I had this problem until I moved CS:GO to my SSD. Game runs smooth as butter now, might help if you have an SSD.

Have you tried turning it on and off again? But seriously, restart your router. It sounds simple, but sometimes that's all it takes to fix lag spikes in CS:GO.
