To check your FPS (Frames Per Second) in CS:GO, I'll show you several reliable methods that work in 2024. These simple steps will help you monitor your game's performance.

Method 1: Using the Console Command

1. Enable the Developer Console:

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

2. Type one of these commands in the console:

   • net_graph 1

     - Shows FPS along with network information

   • cl_showfps 1

     - Displays only FPS counter

   • fps_max 0

     - Removes FPS limit (optional)

Method 2: Using Steam Overlay

1. While in-game, press Shift + Tab
2. Click on "Settings" in the Steam overlay
3. Select "In-Game"
4. Find "In-game FPS counter"
5. Choose your preferred corner position
6. Select "High Contrast" for better visibility

Method 3: Adding Launch Options

1. Right-click CS:GO in your Steam library
2. Select "Properties"
3. Look for "Launch Options"
4. Add

   +fps_max 0 +cl_showfps 1

5. Click "OK" to save

Best Practices

• Keep the FPS counter in a visible but non-intrusive position
• Use

  net_graph 1

  if you want additional network information
• Consider using

  fps_max 0

  only if you have a capable system
• Monitor your FPS during different game situations for optimal performance

To disable the FPS counter, simply use the same commands with "0" instead of "1" (example:

net_graph 0

or

cl_showfps 0

).

These methods work consistently across all CS:GO versions and maps. Choose the one that best suits your needs while playing.
