Just play in windowed mode, lol. Fullscreen optimizations won't matter then.

Easy peasy! Right-click on your CS:GO exe file > Properties > Compatibility tab. Tick the 'Disable fullscreen optimizations' box. Hit 'Apply' and you're all set. Basically tells Windows, 'Hey, let CS:GO run how it wants without your fancy optimizations getting in the way.'

I turned off fullscreen optimizations and noticed smoother gameplay, especially on my 144Hz monitor. You go to the game's exe file, properties, then compatibility, and check the box to disable it. Worth trying if you're after every bit of performance you can squeeze out!
