In CS:GO competitive, the game runs on 64-tick servers. This means the server updates 64 times per second, giving you a pretty smooth gameplay experience. However, many players prefer 128-tick servers for even more precision, which you'll often find in third-party competitive platforms.

64-tick might not feel like enough if you're used to the smoother experience of 128-tick servers on platforms like Faceit or ESEA, but it's what Valve has set for their official competitive matches. You'll notice the difference, especially in how your shots register.

Just 64 ticks, folks. Not as high as we'd like but it gets the job done for most players.

Honestly, 64-tick is fine for most. You'll mostly hear complaints from the super competitive types or pros. For the average player, it's more than enough.
