How to Optimize CS:GO for Low-End PCs
Best answer
FPSMaximizer
First off, dive into your video settings and turn everything down. Lower your resolution, switch off fancy effects like motion blur, and set textures and shadows to low. This can massively boost your FPS. Next, tweak your launch options through Steam. Add commands like '-novid' to skip the intro video and '-high' to give CS:GO high priority on your CPU. Finally, clean up your PC, close background apps, and maybe even overclock your GPU if you're feeling adventurous but be cautious with that last part!

I play CS:GO on a potato. Lowering the resolution practically gave me a new game. Also, disabling steam overlay helped a bunch!
