CS: GO - Causes of FPS Drops

Basically, many factors affect your FPS. We cover the most common problem cases here.

1. First, you should check that you meet all the system requirements for the game. For full HD monitors, try lowering the resolution to relieve the PC.
2. Your internet connection also plays a role. In larger households or apartments, an ongoing download or upload can have a major impact on performance.
3. You should also make sure that your graphics card driver is up to date.
4. Unnecessary background programs can also affect performance. Open the Task Manager with [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Esc] and deactivate all unnecessary programs from the "Autostart" tab. Then restart the PC.
5. In addition, it is possible that your processor gets too hot and therefore regulates itself automatically. Use "Core Temp" to check how high the temperature really is. A new fan or cleaning the interior of your PC, including the fans, often helps.
