First off, try lowering your graphics settings in the game menu; this usually boosts FPS big time. Also, make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Sometimes, drivers can be the hidden culprits slowing games down. Lastly, don't forget to check your PC for malware or any running background apps that eat up your resources. CS:GO needs all the power it can get!

Just lower your settings lol. Especially shadows and effects. They eat up so much performance and you barely notice them when you're in the middle of a match trying not to get shot.

Okay, hear me out, I used to have major issues with lag and low FPS in CS:GO until I cleaned my PC's fans and made sure my cooling system was working properly. Overheating can throttle your CPU's and GPU's performance big time. Plus, a dust-free PC is a happy PC.

Here's a hot take: if your PC still struggles after tweaking settings, maybe it's time for an upgrade? CS:GO isn't the most demanding game out there, so if it's running poorly, your hardware might just be showing its age.
