Why does my CS:GO lag?

Lag in CS:GO can be super annoying, but it's usually fixable! Check your internet connection first - a weak or unstable connection is the usual suspect. Also, peek at your computer specs; CS:GO isn't super demanding, but it does have its needs, especially if you've got graphics settings cranked up. Keep an eye on background apps too, you'd be surprised how much they can slow things down. Oh, and don't forget to update your game and graphics drivers - out-of-date software can cause all sorts of issues.

Try lowering your graphic settings. I had the same issue and turning down shadows and effects made a huge difference. Also, make sure V-Sync is off; it's a framerate killer.

Honestly, just get better internet. If you're playing on Wi-Fi, consider switching to a wired connection. It's a game changer.

It's all about them settings. Lowering your resolution and disabling fancy graphics like anti-aliasing can help. And close those 100 tabs in your browser!

In my experience, it's either your PC or your net. Upgrade or get closer to the router!
