To see the FPS (frames per second) in CS:GO, the most common and direct method is to use the in-game developer console. Here are the step-by-step methods:
- Enable the Developer Console in CS:GO settings under the "Game" tab by setting "Enable Developer Console (~)" to Yes.
- Press the tilde key "~" on your keyboard to open the console.
- Type the command: cl_showfps 1
- Press Enter, and an FPS counter will appear in the top-left corner of the screen showing your current frames per second.
Additional ways to see FPS include:
- Enabling the Steam in-game FPS counter through Steam settings under "In-Game" tab.
- Using the net_graph 1 command in the console, which shows more detailed information including FPS, ping, and packet loss at the bottom of the screen.
- Setting the launch option cl_showfps 1 in CS:GO properties on Steam to always show FPS on game start.
To turn off the FPS display, type cl_showfps 0 in the console. These methods help players monitor game performance and adjust settings as needed for smoother gameplay.
