Easy peasy! To show your FPS in CS:GO, all you gotta do is open the console by pressing the '~' key (right under the escape key on your keyboard) and type in 'cl_showfps 1'. This command will magically show your FPS in the top corner. Don't forget to enable the console from the game settings first if you haven't already!

Just use Steam's in-game overlay for an even easier method. Hit Shift+Tab to bring up the overlay, go to 'Settings', then 'In-Game' and look for the 'In-Game FPS counter'. Choose where you want it to display and voila! You're all set without touching the console.

Honestly, why bother? Just feel the game, if it's smooth, it's good. If not, lower your settings. Simple.

I've been using the console method since I started playing. Typing 'cl_showfps 1' really gives you all the info you need without any extra software. Plus, you feel like a pro tweaking game settings directly!
