Smoke reduces CS:GO's FPS performance.
Smoke reduces CS:GO's FPS performance.
I understand this setup is quite old, yet I’m consistently achieving over 100 fps in CS:GO at low resolutions like 800x600. Performance drops to around 40 fps when there’s smoke or during flashing events. It seems the issue lies with either the CPU or the GPU.
Often I've noticed in games that my teammates advised me to stop using smoke effects because they were causing lag, probably due to GPU issues.
All settings are already adjusted to the minimum level. There is no option for smoke effects available.
