Easy fix! Just open your Steam library, right-click on CS:GO, go to 'Properties,' then click 'Set Launch Options.' In the text box, type '-fps_max [your desired FPS]' without the quotes. Replace [your desired FPS] with whatever max FPS you want. This sets the maximum frames per second for the game.

Honestly, just leave it on default. Unless you've got a beast of a machine, tweaking these settings can sometimes do more harm than good. Enjoy the game as it is!

Just use the in-game console lol. Hit ~ to open it and type 'fps_max [value].' Instant change without needing to restart!

Pro tip: if you're aiming to optimize game performance, editing your FPS max is just the start. Make sure you adjust your graphics settings and monitor your PC's temperature too. High FPS is great but not at the cost of melting your rig.
