Lowering your graphics settings is the first step to smoother gameplay in CS:GO. Drop shadows, effects, and shader details. Also, make sure to set your game to Fullscreen for better performance. Don't forget to update your graphics drivers too! Sometimes, the smallest updates can give you a significant boost.

Check your PC's temperature. Overheating can throttle your CPU and GPU performance, leading to laggy gameplay. Ensure your cooling system works properly and maybe invest in a good quality thermal paste. Trust me; I saw a notable difference once I sorted my cooling issues!

Honestly, just buy a new PC. If you've tried everything and CS:GO still runs like a slideshow, it might be time.

Turn off background applications before launching CS:GO. Spotify, Discord, or any web browser can hog your system's resources. A cleaner running PC means smoother gameplay.
