Introduction
This guide will help you BOOST your in-game CS2 FPS by following these simple tips and tricks. Increasing your CS2 FPS is important as this will make gameplay and aim smoother resulting in a better overall gaming experience.
From using this guide I was able to BOOST my CS2 in-game FPS from 30 FPS to 1000+ FPS.

General FPS Guide:
30 FPS - Unplayable, very laggy gameplay.
60 FPS - Playable, but still laggy gameplay.
120 FPS - Smooth gameplay.
144 FPS - Very Smooth gameplay.
240 FPS - ULTRA SMOOTH GAMEPLAY.
1000+ FPS - ASK ELON MUSK HOW SMOOTH THIS IS (OR SIMPLY FOLLOW THIS GUIDE!)

How to set Launch Options?

1. Right-click on CS2 under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
2. Under the General tab click the SET LAUNCH OPTIONS button.
3. Enter the launch options you wish to apply (be sure to separate each code with a space) and click OK.

I was a bit skeptical and overwhelmed with the whole process but KR4Z3R! was great with his communication with one another to help me successfully get the optimal gaming experience out of my computer. I highly recommend KR4Z3R!'s guide as it's fool proof and simple.
