Just set it and forget it! Go into your CS:GO settings, find the video settings, and there should be an option for 'Max FPS Limit'. Slide that bad boy to 144. Bam, you're ready to roll!

Honestly, just leave it uncapped. Unless you've got a specific reason to cap at 144, letting CS:GO run at max fps can actually reduce input lag. More FPS = smoother experience, just saying.

Pro tip from someone who's been there: After you cap your FPS, make sure your monitor is actually set to 144Hz in your display settings. I spent weeks wondering why things didn't look as smooth, only to find my monitor was still at 60Hz. Facepalm moment for sure.

Easy peasy! Open CS:GO and hit the `~` key to bring up the console. Then type in `fps_max 144` and hit enter. This command limits your FPS to 144, which is perfect if you're looking to match your monitor's refresh rate for that buttery smooth gameplay.
