Massive stuttering and low FPS
I have i9 11900h and rtx 3060 laptop gpu.
I have 80-120 fps when playing (its really unstable) and some times in causal it can drop to 30-40 fps for like 2-5 minutes, and it is stutters to sometimes and also freeze for a second or two.
I already tried everything on the internet such as: verify, update driver chipset and gpu, update bios, so many settings in game and outside the game, many launch options even changing to vulkan. Zero impact, the game still run the same, it is so poorly running.
It doesn's matter if i change the ingame settings to 800x600 or 2k, high or lowest, the games runs the same, the cpu and gpu runs on 20-40%, but pretty much on 30ish percent, and thats where i know i can get more fps. Anyone can help me?

*Updating: I will try to change my thermal paste, and will give updates.
*Update: fixing thermal problem is definitely an upgrade, but no solution for the stuttering and fps drop.

same for my pc idk what to do vro

-Clear shader cache
-Delete temporary files
-Reset modem/router
-Run a program that analyzes cpu and gpu usage. I would guess with that setup, you might be getting 50 / 50% cpu / gpu usage, maybe, which is fine, no bottlenecks.

-Turn on high performance mode
-Clear out all launch options
-Turn on nvidia Reflex
-Change your rate in game ( you can find your rate value by typing "status" in console. Most players have theirs at ~768000). Play around with that number whilst in some non-comp gamemode and have the jitter graph show up only "if conditions are poor" and figure out when it jitters a lot
-set buffering to 1 or 2 packets
-Disable any sort of alternative to vsync such as async
-delete Nahemic from your pc if it got on there
-try to run basically no other background programs besides the essential ones
-Uncap your fps and play some random non comp gamemode for 5 minutes or so. Try to find your average low. It's best to do this in an offline server as your setup will generate maximum frames and adjusting this value will be way easier. Your stable framerate will be half your lowest fps value. So you get 700fps, you should not get anything lower than 175fps. This will help your 1% and 0.1% lows and eliminate them. However, you should have your game menu set to render maybe 160-200fps, this will tell your pc the baseline to use for performance (so you don't get wild fluctuations)
-keep the max fps at 0, unless the fps fluctuates too much, then put the max fps value at ~50fps higher than your game menu fps
-lower all your graphics settings except maybe shadows (I even have my texture filtering to bilinear)
-Lower AA, if lowering graphics then some things will be pixilated but mostly stuff like your shadow obscured in a smoke.
-Turn off first person tracers
-disable boost enemy contrast
-make sure audio drivers are good too, as well as the lan driver.
-check your memory speeds with cpu-z (xmp/expo is best left on if your ram had good timings)
-go to steamapps/common/csgo/bin/win64/ I think is the file path. Find cs2.exe and right click go to properties, disable "enable full-screen optimizations" and also disable "dpi scaling"
-hardware acceleration is turned off
-game mode on windows is set to on
-after doing all of this I would reinstall and then verify files and launch the game, see how it goes from there

same bro a few weeks ago i had 200-300 fps the game was smooth now i have under 100 mostly 80-90 and massive frame drops.. idk what they are doing to this game

Sounds like overheating to me because dropping to 30-40 FPS and freezes is not normal on such setup even if it's laptop. What are your temps?

do you know what apps that gives the most accurate temps?

I use HWinfo eventhough it's not the very best, jayz2cents on youtube had a vid somewhere suggesting a different program but this is what i use personally.

HWiNFO64, AIDA64, MSI Afterburner with RivaTunerStatistics overlay etc.

I think my fps dropped too after the latest updates? Maybe there is something, but not sure.

Edit: I have laptop ryzen 7 + rtx 3070

My cs2 when playing vs bots.
CPU temperature is avg 90-92 degree and GPU temperature is avg 60 degree.
CPU usage is avg 20% when playing. I will try to change my thermal paste today since this is the only thing i can do for laptop, and see if the problem is solved. I will give updates.

I already did everything bro, no changes, i did this untill the last step (reinstalling and verify).

Well 90-92°C is getting close to the limit so most likely that is the reason for your issues.
Did you try using some cooling pad? It provides airflow and also elevates the laptop. I am not saying cooling pad will make a 20°C difference, but it may cool your CPU just enough so the game is playable.
