Locking FPS in CS:GO can really smooth out your gameplay. First, open the console by pressing `~`, then type `fps_max <YourDesiredFPS>` (for example, `fps_max 60` to cap it at 60 FPS). Remember, setting it too low might make your game feel sluggish, so find that sweet spot for your system!

Just set it and forget it: `fps_max 60` in the console. Caps it at 60 FPS, but why limit your game? More FPS = smoother experience IMO.

Honestly, capping your FPS in CS:GO? I never got the point. Unless you're trying to prevent your PC from blasting off or your monitor can't keep up, just let it run wild.

I've been playing CS:GO for years and locking my FPS actually helped me stabilize my game performance on my not-so-new rig. Using `fps_max 144` made a huge difference for me since my monitor's refresh rate is 144Hz. Game feels much smoother now.
