Honestly, just tweak your settings in the options menu. It's way easier and you won't accidentally turn your game into a potato. Console commands are cool for the 'pro' feel, but why make life harder?

Yep, you can tweak a lot of your video settings in CS:GO through the console! It's not as user-friendly as doing it through the game's options menu, but it gives you way more control. You can adjust things like your resolution, whether you're playing in fullscreen or windowed mode, and even more technical stuff if you know the right commands. Just open up the console with '~' and start typing commands like 'mat_monitorgamma' for brightness adjustments, 'mat_setvideomode' for resolution changes, etc. Just make sure you know what you're doing, or you might end up playing in a resolution that looks like Minecraft on a bad day.

As a long-time CS:GO player, I've gone deep into console commands to fine-tune my game. Trust me, it makes a difference. Even adjusting the shadow detail can give you an edge. Plus, experimenting with settings can improve your FPS, which is crucial in a fast-paced game like CS:GO.
