How to get the best FPS in CS:GO

To really push those frames, you can tweak CS:GO's launch options. Adding commands like '-high' to set the game's priority to high in your system, or '-threads' followed by the number of CPU cores your system has, can squeeze out extra performance. Navigate to CS:GO in your Steam library, right-click, go to 'Properties', and then 'Set Launch Options' to input these commands.

First off, dive into the settings and lower your graphics. Not everything needs to be on high to enjoy CS:GO. Think of shadow quality and texture detail; these can be set to low without sacrificing much of the game's aesthetic appeal. Next, enable 'Multicore Rendering' in the options, this allows the game to utilize more than one core of your CPU, giving you a significant FPS boost. Also, consider setting your resolution a bit lower. Though it might take some getting used to, many players swear by the increased frames per second that come with a reduced resolution.

Just buy a better PC. Works every time.

Personally, I upgraded my graphics card last year and adjusted my settings based on online guides. The difference was night and day. It's all about finding the right balance between the game looking good and running smoothly. You don't need a supercomputer to get a decent frame rate in CS:GO, just some tweaks here and there.
