First off, make sure to lower your graphics settings. You can drop your resolution, turn off fancy effects like bloom and motion blur, and lower texture and shadow details. Experiment with the settings to find the sweet spot between good visuals and high FPS. Also, keep your drivers up to date, especially your graphics card drivers. Outdated drivers can significantly impact performance!

Lowering your resolution is like the oldest trick in the book for boosting FPS. It might not look as pretty, but seeing your enemies better with smoother gameplay is worth it. Plus, closing background applications can free up more resources for CS:GO.

Make sure CS:GO is set to High Priority in Task Manager. It's amazing how often this gets overlooked. Right-click CS:GO in the Details tab and set priority to High. Just be careful not to set it to Realtime, or you might run into other issues.

Honestly, just buy a new PC. If you're trying to run CS:GO on a potato, it's time for an upgrade. You'll thank me later when you're not getting fragged because of a stutter.
