Just set everything to low and pray. But seriously, lowering your graphic settings is the quickest fix. Also, close any other programs or browser tabs you don't need. CS:GO doesn't ask for much.

Getting CS:GO to run smooth on a low-end PC is all about tweaking those settings. First, drop your game resolution; lower resolutions demand less from your PC. Then, dive into the game settings and turn down all the graphical features like shadows, textures, and effects to their lowest. Don’t forget to disable vertical sync as well. Also, keep your drivers up to date, especially your graphics card drivers. Lastly, try to keep your PC as cool as possible to prevent thermal throttling. A cooler PC = happier gaming sessions!

Honestly, upgrade your PC. I know it’s not the answer you’re looking for, but CS:GO is pretty optimized already. If it's still not running well, it might be time.

I played CS:GO on my old laptop by setting all graphics settings to the lowest possible and reducing the resolution. Surprisingly it ran pretty well, even though it looked like a potato. Good luck!
