Does CS:GO rely on the CPU for more frames?

Absolutely! CS:GO is pretty heavy on the CPU for generating those sweet, sweet frames. It's because the game's physics and game logic, like hit detection, are CPU-intensive tasks. So, a beefier CPU can definitely help pump up your frame rates, especially in those chaotic smoke-filled sites or when you're trying to clutch a round.

CPU matters, but don't forget about your GPU either! Yes, CS:GO leans on the CPU more than some other games, but having a solid GPU can also contribute to getting higher frames and a smoother experience overall. Balance is key.

It's all about the CPU, baby. More cores, more GHz = more FPS. Simple as that.

Not really, I've seen rigs with average CPUs but high-end GPUs pushing high frames in CS:GO. It's a balanced game.
