When you reach the end of the guide, play the map again and see the FPS Difference.

The Game Mode is a very important feature of Windows 10. It was designed to facilitate gamers with high fps and consistent performance. The game mode improves performance by prioritizing the game application, thus allowing it to get the max out of the CPU and GPU. Apart from this, the Game Mode also closes down the irrelevant applications that run in the background and impact your Performance.

Go To Start > Type Game Mode > Click on First Result.

Enable Game Mode.

Have you ever noticed, that while you are playing games. There are always Xbox or Game Bar Notification at the bottom left of the screen, telling you Recording has Started, or Take a Screenshot using some button. Well, you can ignore these notifications in the game.

However, sometimes they will automatically start recording gameplay because you accidentally pressed a keybind that was set for recording. In addition, the notifications also pile up in the action center. Ultimately, this has a negative impact on your CS:GO, and In order to get high FPS. You must disable these.

Open Start > Type Game Mode.
Now Proceed to The Game Bar and Captures Tab. Disable and lower down everything you see.

Go To Start Agan, Search and Open Focus Assist
Now you can either disable everything or configure them according to your CS:GO schedule.

Like Game Mode, the Ultimate Performance also performs a similar duty. However, unlike Game Mode which only prioritizes Gaming Application. The Ultimate Performance ensures that there is no Power threshold, and allows maximum use of the hardware. Once enabled, you will see a significant difference in CS:GO FPS and Windows 10 Speed. This is a hidden feature so enabling it requires certain steps.

Go to Start > Type Windows PowerShell > Open it With Administrator Privileges.

Copy and paste this code in Windows PowerShell.

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02 -d5df -448d -aa00 -03f14749eb61

After you have entered the code. Open Start Again > Type Edit Power Plan.

Once Opened, Proceed to Power Options.

Now Select Ultimate Performance in the plan, and if you were unable to find it. Click on the arrow in Hidden additional plans, and you will find it.

To Get More Consistent Frames and Smooth Performance in CS:GO. You must disable these “exotic animations” that are unnecessary. By doing this, you will not only ensure that there is less burden on CPU and Memory. But you will also get to experience a more responsive and fast Windows 10.

Open Start > Search and open View Advanced System Settings.
Head over to the settings tab under Performance and In Visual Effects Select Custom.
Disable Rest of the options, and only enable “Show Thumbnails Instead of Icons” and “Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts”

After Applying the changes, you will already notice something different and better.

In the steps below, we’ll set CPU Priority High for CS:GO Through Launch Options. But before we do that, we should also set Graphics Performance High for CS:GO. This will allow the game to fully utilize the GPU. Likewise, also let Windows 10 to remove limits from the Graphics Card. This can increase around 5-10 FPS depending on Graphics Card.

Open Start > Type and Open Graphics Settings.

Now Click On Browse and Locate your CSGO Application. Once Done, set the performance to High, and you are done.

Well, you guys might be laughing at how I am consistently asking you to disable unnecessary things. This is because, if we want the best possible FPS in CS:GO. We must disable the slightest of features that are taking a chunk of power.

Anyhow, these services and applications usually start with your PC, and most of the time you wouldn’t even know why are they running in the background. Don’t worry though, because I’ll get them disabled for you.

Go To Start > Type Run > Open First Result

Now Type “msconfig” without the quotations, and enter.

Proceed to Services Tab and Checkmark Disable All Microsoft Services. We do this because we don’t want to disable any important ones that can cause trouble. After the filtering, you will only get to see the ones from third-party applications.

Disable all the useless services you can spot. It varies from system to system.

Afterward, Click on Apply and Head over to the Startup Tab.

In Startup Tab. It is recommended to disable all the applications with high and medium priority. But from what I’ve noticed, you can leave the Medium ones enabled, because sooner or later you will open the Steam Application so it does not make any sense. At the same time, make sure Browsers are disabled because they alow Extensions to start running which is a big mess.

Once you have disabled these services and applications. You can now expect much better FPS and Butter smooth Gameplay in CS:GO. On top of that, you will also get to enjoy the bonus features, which are faster boot times and responsive Windows 10.

Open Steam > Right Click CS:GO > Properties.

In Local Files Click On Browse Game Local Files.

Now Right Click CS:GO > Check Disable Full-Screen Optimization. Click on Apply and proceed to change high dpi settings.

Enable Override High DPI Settings and Select Application In Scaling Performed By. Once again hit apply to save changes.

One of the most important aspects behind good Frames is having the right launch options in CS:GO. There are hundreds of different launch Options on the Internet that are related to best Visuals and FPS. Some players do not understand, that entering every other launch will only make things worse. You have to find the most effective, balanced, and correct ones.

I’ve done a lot of research on this topic, and applied every other setting. However, one setting struck me and In contrast to all others. This is all you need. I’ll explain each launch option with a small description, so you can understand the science behind it.

Firstly, Open Steam > Right-Click Counter-Strike: Global Offensive > Properties > In Launch Options, Paste this code.

+fps_max 0 -high -novid -freq 75 -nojoy -threads 4 +cl_forcepreload 1 +mat_queue_mode 2
+fps_max 0 – This Removes the Frame Limiter, and FPS Can Reach Any Value through this.
-high – This will set CPU Priority to High and allow CS:GO to Get Most out of your Processor.
-novid – The novid command will skip the Valve Introduction Screen, which takes too much time.
-freq 144 – The Freq is also the Refresh Rate Value. Therefore, enter the max refresh rate of your Monitor.
-nojoy – Nojoy will remove the JoyStick Controller Support, and will free a lot of Memory and CPU Usage.
-threads 4 – It’ll ensure your max threads are being allocated to the game. Enter the correct number of threads in the value.
+cl_forcepreload 1 – Will Pre-Load All Maps and Resource.
+mat_queue_mode 2 – Very Important, this changes the meta by forcing CS:GO running at Multi-Threaded Mode.

If you have your game installed in an SSD, and that SSD has some leftover temp files. Well, then you aren’t on the safe side, because these files have a Negative Impact on your SSD. In addition, these files can also lower your FPS and downgrade Performance in CS:GO. Most players have downloaded the game in C, where the temp files remain after you empty the recycle bin. Anyhow, here is how you can delete Temp Files and Cleanup Disk. Make sure you are doing it in the Drive, where CS:GO is Installed.

Go To Start > Type Run > Enter %temp% and click ok.
Press Control + A on your keyboard > Right Click at any File > Delete.
Once Done, Go To My Computer > Right Click The Drive Where CS:GO Is Installed > Properties.
Now Click On Disk Cleanup.

Make sure you go through the checklist and think twice. I’ve got a lot of Important files in the Downloads folder, so I won’t checkmark the Download from List. You can see there is 23.5 GB worth of data.

Although Hardware Acceleration is a good feature and allows the program to run more efficiently by using more of the hardware. However, you don’t need it for Applications Like Discord, Steam, or Google Chrome, where the purpose remains the same and increasing efficiency won’t make any difference. One thing worth noting is that If it’s enabled in Google Chrome, you will experience a much smoother experience. Consequently, the CPU Usage and Memory usage will also double, and this can have a huge negative impact on your CS:GO FPS And Performance.

Now there are two things you can do. Disable Hardware Acceleration which is the best option. Or, you should never run these applications in the background while playing a game. This sounds impossible, because every gamer has to make use of Discord, and Streamers always have Chrome Running in their background. Therefore, I’d recommend going with the first option.

Open Discord > Settings > Apparence.
In Appearance Scroll Down and Disable Hardware Acceleration.
By default, it is enabled, and it’ll ask you to restart your discord, which is perfectly fine.

Open Google Chrome > Click on the three dots in top right corner > Settings.
Under Settings > Go To Advance > System > Disable ” Use Hardware Acceleration When Available”.

If you want to become consistent at the game, you must ensure that Enhance Pointer Precision is disabled. Along with gameplay, Enhance Pointer Precision also impacts your performance, because it consistently needs the power of CPU and Memory to randomize the movement. Just to clarify, Enhance Pointer Precision changes your DPI every time you move the mouse. This is not a good thing, and competitive gamers will know that having the same DPI at all times is essential.

Go To Start > Mouse Settings > Additional Mouse Options

Head over to Pointer Options > Disable Enhance Pointer Precision

Make sure you hit apply and ok after applying changes.

Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Global Settings > Change the following

You can leave this part if you like, but here are some settings that I’ve found to be very clear and vibrant. Note that colors differ from Monitor to Monitor and in some cases, you might not get the result I’m getting. Anyhow, it is worth the attempt to give it a try.

Proceed to the Adjust Desktop Color Settings and do the following

Set Brightness Level to + 55%
Set Contrast Level to + 50%
Change Gamma to + 1.10

Enhancements
