FPS drops in CS:GO can be pretty annoying, but they're usually due to a few common culprits. First off, check your PC's specs against the game's requirements. CS:GO isn't too demanding, but an outdated system might struggle. Next, dive into your video settings in-game. Lowering settings like shadows, textures, and effects can boost your FPS. Also, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date! Outdated drivers are FPS killers. Lastly, background applications can eat into your resources, so close anything you don't need while playing.

If you're on a laptop, make sure it's not in power-saving mode. Learned that the hard way - game ran like a slideshow until I switched to high performance!

Just update your drivers, lol. 90% of the time, that fixes everything.

Honestly, sometimes CS:GO just acts up for no good reason. I've had days where it's smooth as butter and others where it's a stuttery mess with the same settings. A restart often helps tho.
