Make sure you lower your graphics settings in the game. Dropping shadows, textures, and effects quality can really boost your FPS. Also, keep your PC’s drivers, especially the graphics driver, up to date. Valve keeps optimizing CS:GO, so staying current on updates can help too.

Check your background processes before you play. Sometimes, other programs eat up resources that CS:GO could use. I once found a sneaky antivirus scan running that made my game lag like crazy. Killed it and boom, smooth gameplay!

Honestly, just get a better PC lol. CS:GO ain’t that demanding.

Try adjusting your launch options in Steam for CS:GO. Adding commands like '-high' can prioritize the game in your CPU's processes. Also, '-novid' skips the intro video, getting you into the game faster. Small tweaks, but every bit helps!
