[CS:GO] Low End PC/Laptop - FPS Boost [OUT DATED - MOST MIGHT NOT WORK]

[Midnizzy 🕷]

So before we get into this I know there are loads of posts on this same subject all over the community. However when I read them some of them don't help me like they are made out to be. So this post is to help out some people as much as it can.

Okay so the first thing is pretty simple, when you are on the game (CSGO) go to your settings and turn everything to low. However, leave (Aspect Ratio & Resolution) a moment.

Open Counter Strike > Video Settings > Turn everything low

Now a lot of the posts online say "Don't change your Ratio or Resolution" well I know this is blunt but if you have a bad PC/Laptop your not going to be playing this game in 4K. If you play 16:9 you better get used to 4:3. Now 4:3 can be useless in the game sometimes but for the best performance and FPS boost it's helpful. Change to 4:3 and find one of the resolutions best for you. I currently use 4:3 1280 x 720.

Open Counter Strike > Video Settings > Aspect Ratio (4:3) > Resolution (???)

Now that we have basic stuff over and done with let's move onto the other ways. Now like all the other guides on how to boost FPS we have Launch Options.

These Launch options help me out a lot and it's down to you if you want to use them. Here they are: -high -threads4 -nod3d9ex -nojoy -novid +mat_queue_mode 2 +exec autoexec.cfg

Now with the threads4, the number depends on how many CPU you have. I have 4 so I will use 4. The +exec autoexec.cfg use this if you have a file saved which I will get to in a moment.

With autoexec.cfg im going to leave a YouTube video for you to check this out as its hard to explain. The video is trusted as it was created by TheLowSpecGamer who is known for making games run faster and boosting FPS.

Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt6Hv0xtfz8&t=92s (Go to 2:33 in the video)

When this is done open CSGO and type in console ("exec Autoexec.cfg")

I have also noticed a better performance when net_graph 1 is turned off, instead I used cl_showfps 1 and it worked faster. However, you only see your FPS, not your ping etc. You can simply type ping in the console to see when in the game.

This is only a small post but this works for me. I will leave a link to my PC Specs and 2 more videos that could help users on AMD and Nvidia. Personally, the AMD video would be helpful for many players if it would work on Intel and Nvidia.

Thanks for reading and I hope this will help some people out

1280 x 720 does not show when i put 4:3?

[Midnizzy 🕷]

Make sure ur monitor if using one supports it.

Maybe create a guide instead, more people will read it as this post will get lost over time.

[pinoysarome]

just use 1024x768 (normal 4:3 ratio) and set all settings to very low/low. izi 70 to 100 fps

To be honest i wasen't expecting this post to be seen agian. I know the struggle is real for us "LOW" end PC/Laptop users. Ill make an updated guide soon as i have found more ways. Ill even put my own CFG in there and autoexec etc.

Good

[Nitro]

it says "cant exec autoexec" how to fix that?

[J.S.D]

most of these are simple guilds that any pc gamer should know these >_> not offend you but this did not help me one bit

[Midnizzy 🕷]

True King however they did help me at the time, by the looks of it some of these are out-dated with the way CS is going nowdays. I don't even play CS that much anymore, im gonna just say that most of these fixes are probs out dated guys. However I like how even tho its almost been a year this post is still active. Sorry guys :(
