How to stop CS:GO lag

I used to struggle with lag until I moved CS:GO to my SSD. Game changer! Literally. Also, tweaking the 'rate' setting in the console helped me reduce lag significantly. Just type 'rate 786432' in the console and see if that helps. It sets the max network bandwidth. Worked like a charm for me!

First, check if your internet connection is stable because CS:GO loves to eat up bandwidth. Upgrading your internet plan or using a wired connection can work wonders. Secondly, lower your game settings. You don’t need ultra-high graphics to enjoy the game, and lower settings can boost performance. Lastly, make sure to close any background apps. You'd be surprised how much they can affect your gameplay.

Honestly, just play on local servers. Your ping will thank you.
