First off, try enabling VSync in the game settings or through your graphics card's control panel. This can help sync your monitor's refresh rate with your game's framerate, reducing tearing. If input lag becomes an issue with VSync on, consider trying NVIDIA's G-SYNC or AMD's FreeSync if your monitor supports them. These technologies provide a smoother experience by adjusting the monitor's refresh rate to match the game's framerate without the lag VSync might introduce.

Honestly, just get a better monitor. If you're serious about gaming, especially fast-paced games like CS:GO, investing in a good 144Hz or higher refresh rate monitor with G-Sync or FreeSync is a game changer. Screen tearing becomes a thing of the past.

Just cap your FPS to match your monitor's refresh rate. This can sometimes do the trick without needing to mess with VSync or anything more complex.
