How to fix FPS drops in smoke in CS:GO
Best answer

Ah, the dreaded FPS drop in the smoke! Couple of tricks you can try: Update your graphics card drivers first; sometimes they're just out of date. Lower your game settings, especially effects and shaders, since smoke is basically a fancy effect. Finally, try playing around with the 'Effect Detail' and 'Shader Detail' in the game settings. Lowering these can often reduce the stress on your system when walking into a smoke grenade.

Real talk? It's not just about lowering settings. Make sure your PC isn't overheating. CS:GO is intense, and if your cooling system isn't up to snuff, your FPS will drop like flies in a bug zapper. Clean out those fans and maybe even apply some new thermal paste to your CPU. Worked wonders for me!

Just lower your graphics settings, ez fix.

Honestly, the whole 'lower your settings' advice is overplayed. Make sure your PC meets the game's recommended system requirements first. If you're running CS:GO on a toaster, no amount of settings tweaking is going to save you from FPS drops in smoke.
