To check your FPS (Frames Per Second) in CS:GO, you have several reliable methods. I'll show you the quickest and most effective ways to monitor your frame rate while playing.

Method 1: Using the Console Command

1. Enable the Developer Console

   • Launch CS:GO
   • Go to Settings > Game Settings
   • Set "Enable Developer Console" to "Yes"
   • Press the tilde key (~) to open the console

2. Enter the FPS Command

   • Type "cl_showfps 1" in the console and press Enter
   • Your current FPS will now display in the corner of your screen
   • To disable it, type "cl_showfps 0"

Method 2: Using Net Graph (Detailed Statistics) - Open the console - Type "net_graph 1" and press Enter - This shows FPS along with other network information - To remove it, type "net_graph 0"

Method 3: Steam's Built-in FPS Counter - Open Steam - Click on "Steam" in the top-left corner - Select "Settings" - Click on "In-Game" - Under "In-game FPS counter," select your preferred corner - Choose "High Contrast" for better visibility

Pro Tips for FPS Monitoring: - Use "fps_max 0" in console to unlock FPS - "fps_max 300" sets a specific FPS limit - Keep the FPS display in a corner where it won't distract you - Monitor FPS regularly to catch performance issues early

Common FPS Values in CS:GO: - 60+ FPS: Playable - 144+ FPS: Recommended for 144Hz monitors - 240+ FPS: Optimal for competitive play - Below 60 FPS: May need to lower graphics settings

Remember to close unnecessary background applications and keep your graphics drivers updated for the best FPS performance. If you notice consistently low FPS, consider adjusting your video settings or updating your hardware.
