Lowering your graphics settings is the go-to strategy. Drop things like shadow quality, texture details, and overall graphics quality to boost those frame rates. Also, make sure multicore rendering is enabled, it helps a lot if you've got a decent CPU. Another trick is to set your CS:GO to high priority in the Task Manager. It gives the game a bit more of your computer's attention.

You gotta make sure your drivers are up to date, especially your graphics card drivers. Outdated drivers can really mess with your performance. Also, tweaking your launch options in Steam can give you a significant boost. Adding commands like '-high' and '-threads 4' (adjust the number based on your CPU's threads) can improve performance.

Just play on all low settings. Honestly, CS:GO is not about the graphics, it's about the gameplay. Lower settings might even help you spot enemies better without all the extra details.

Besides lowering settings and updating drivers, cleaning your PC can also impact performance. Dust buildup can cause overheating, which throttles your hardware. Keep it clean inside and out.

Honestly, just buy a new computer. If you're struggling to get decent frames in CS:GO, it's probably time for an upgrade. The game's been out for ages; shouldn't be that demanding.
