Screen lag in CS:GO can be super annoying but fear not, there's a bunch of stuff you can try! Firstly, make sure your video drivers are up to date; outdated drivers are often the culprits. Secondly, adjust your game settings - lower the graphics settings like shadows, textures, and effects. High settings can overwork your PC. Also, check your monitor's refresh rate; ensure it matches your game's FPS for smoother gameplay. Lastly, keep an eye on background applications. Some of them can hog your system resources, causing the game to lag.

Honestly, it might just be your internet. Try plugging in an ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi. Wired connections are generally more stable for gaming.

Just lower your game's resolution. It works like a charm! More FPS, less lag.

If none of the above works, it could be time for an upgrade. CS:GO isn't a super demanding game, but if your PC is old, you might not have a choice.
