First thing's first, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date! Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. Also, go into the game settings and lower your graphics settings; it can really help reduce input lag. Another pro tip: enable 'Game Mode' in Windows settings and disable 'Fullscreen Optimizations' for CS:GO. This minimizes background processes and optimizes performance, making everything snappier!

Yo, just turn on V-Sync in the game settings. Problem solved!

Honestly, tweaking your launch options can make a huge difference. Add '-high -threads (number of your CPU cores)' to give CS:GO a priority and use more of your CPU power. This reduced my input lag significantly. Also, playing in fullscreen mode (not windowed or borderless) seriously cuts down on lag.

Lowering your resolution might seem like a step back, but it actually works wonders for reducing input lag. I switched to a lower res and my game feels way faster now. Plus, many pros play on lower resolutions for that extra edge, so you're in good company.
