Just turn everything to low and close all background apps. Works every time for me.

Random FPS drops in CS:GO can be super annoying, but here are a few things you can try: 1) Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Old drivers often cause issues. 2) Lower your graphics settings. Even though it's tempting to play on high, lowering settings can greatly improve consistency. 3) Check for background processes eating up your system's resources. Sometimes, it's just a sneaky update or a rogue app. 4) Try verifying the integrity of game files through Steam. It can fix hidden issues. 5) Make sure your PC isn't overheating. Regularly clean out dust and consider a cooling pad if you're on a laptop. Hopefully, one of these tips helps you get back to smooth gameplay!

Honestly, CS:GO is old enough that if you're having FPS drops, it's probably time to upgrade your potato PC.
