Turn off background programs. You'd be surprised how much RAM and CPU usage stuff like web browsers or music apps can eat up. Having them off while playing CS:GO can give you a smoother experience.

Honestly, just get a better PC. CS:GO isn't new, so if you're having FPS drops, it might be time for an upgrade.

Definitely check your PC’s power plan settings. If it's set to Power Saver, switch it to High Performance. This might seem small, but it can make a big difference in games like CS:GO where every frame counts.

First off, try lowering your graphical settings in the game. CS:GO isn't too demanding, but turning down settings like shadows, effects, and shader detail can boost your FPS significantly. Also, make sure to keep your drivers updated, especially your graphics card drivers. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of performance issues.

Updating your game files might also help. Sometimes corrupted or outdated game files can cause FPS drops. Verify the integrity of game files through Steam. It's easy to do and can fix a variety of issues.
