Lag in CS:GO can be a real buzzkill. First up, check your internet connection. A wired connection is always more stable than WiFi for gaming. If you're already wired up, then lower your in-game graphics settings and resolution; it can work wonders. Another trick is to update your graphics card drivers, as outdated drivers often cause performance issues. Lastly, don't forget to close any bandwidth-heavy applications running in the background like streaming services or large downloads.

Make sure your PC isn't overheating. CS:GO isn't exactly new, but if your PC is turning into a mini-volcano, you're gonna experience lag. Clean out those fans and maybe invest in some better cooling.

Just lower your settings, dude. Seriously, drop 'em like they're hot. Lower resolution, graphics all the way down. It's not gonna look pretty, but it'll run smoother than butter.

Honestly, just upgrade your internet. If you're lagging and everything else is tip-top, your internet's the weak link. A better plan or provider might be the fix you need.
