Gaining FPS in CS:GO is kinda like tuning a car for better performance! First thing, make sure to lower your graphics settings. You don't need everything shiny to be a pro. Lower those shadows, effects, and shaders. Also, play around with your resolution; sometimes, lower is smoother. Don't forget to update your graphics drivers too, and maybe tweak some settings in there for better performance. Lastly, close any background apps you don't need. They eat your FPS like snacks.

From personal experience, messing with your launch options in Steam can give you a serious boost. Add '-high' to prioritize CS:GO in your CPU's pecking order and '-threads' followed by the number of cores your processor has. It's like telling your PC, 'Hey, focus on this!' Worked wonders for me.

Hot take: Just buy a new PC, bro. If you're still rocking a setup from 2012, it's time for an upgrade. New hardware = instant FPS.
