Why is my CS:GO lagging even with low ping?

Low ping but still facing lag in CS:GO? It might not always be your internet's fault. Check if your PC meets the game's required specs, especially the GPU and CPU. Sometimes, background applications can hog your resources, causing the game to stutter. Make sure to update your drivers, and consider tweaking your in-game settings like lowering graphics and resolution. It could also be server-side issues, so try connecting to a different server to see if that helps.

It's the game, not your connection. CS:GO servers can be finicky. Try playing at different times or switch regions if possible.

Honestly, just upgrade your rig. CS:GO isn't that demanding, but if you're lagging with low ping, your PC might just be too old.

I feel you! Had the same issue till I realized my laptop was on power-saving mode, throttling the CPU and GPU performance. Switched to high performance, and boom, smooth gameplay! Also, check your cooling system. Overheating can cause throttling, which leads to lag.
