The gameplay exhibits sluggishness at my present display settings (1280x960). While my screen is somewhat dated, I consistently achieve frame rates exceeding 250 across all resolutions – including 1280x960 – yet this particular resolution feels unresponsive. My display is an older LG model with a native resolution of 1440x900. I’m considering an upgrade, but I don't believe the monitor is contributing to the issue. The game in question is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
A VGA-to-HDMI adapter probably explains the problem, as it’s an active device transforming analog into digital. If your monitor supports DVI, consider using an HDMI-to-DVI cable – these are passive since they both operate with digital signals. The image quality should improve, and the cable will be capable of supporting more frames per second at a greater resolution.
Some people have reported that newer Nvidia drivers are causing performance issues in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Updating your drivers to the most current version might resolve this problem.
Download and set up MSI Afterburner to display real-time data on your screen, allowing you to observe performance when you perceive sluggishness.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive may not present problems with an i5 processor, although the resulting frame rates could be excessively rapid for the game.
What specifically should I examine? When I am assessing its performance?
Primarily, you should check whether your central processing unit is reaching its maximum capacity and resulting in reduced frame rates.
