Load console on game start
-console
This will enable the console as soon as you get into the game. It’s useful for making sure your config files have loaded properly, but unlike with Counter-Strike: Source, it isn’t required to make the console show up when you press its hotkey (more on this later).

Disable intro videos
-novid
Turns off the Valve intros, saving you precious seconds every time you boot into the game

High CPU priority
-high
Gives the game high priority in your CPU, meaning background tasks won’t slow it down as much. Useful for keeping web browsers running on a second monitor while playing. Messing with CPU priority isn’t a risk free operation, but is unlikely to damage anything permanently. Try disabling this command if you’re getting blue screens.

Govern CPU core usage
-threads [number]
Tells the game how many CPU cores it has access to. Recommended to set this to however many cores your computer has (probably 4). Exactly whether this will improve or decrease your performance is specific to your computer, so enable or disable this command as necessary.

Set offline server tickrate
-tickrate [number]
The tickrate is the number of times per second a server updates the status of everything on it. Most matchmaking servers run at a tickrate of 64, which is the default for local games you host offline. If you want to change to the competitive server tickrate of 128, change to that with this command.

Graphics options
-fullscreen
Loads the game in fullscreen

-windowed
Loads the game in a window. These commands set the width, height, and position:

-w [width] -h [height] -x [horizontal position] -y [vertical position]

So if you wish to have a window that fills a second 1080p monitor, you would use this string of commands: -h 1920 -w 1080 -x 1921 -y 0.

-noborder
Removes the border around a window.

Change client language
-language [language]
This forces the client into a certain language. Useful if you want it in English but have a non-English Steam client, or vice versa.

net_graph 1
This is the most useful command you’ll find in this list. It allows you to see a ton of information concerning your FPS (frames per second), ping, the tick rate of the server and more.



Enter “net_graph 1” into the console and you should see the information appear at the bottom right of your screen.

fps_max 0
This command will help you maximize your frames per second. This will take away the restriction on your FPS, allowing you to reach the highest amount possible on your current PC.

After typing in the command “fps_max 0” to your console, you should see a difference in your FPS instantly. Hopefully, you can gather up those pesky frames you were missing and crush those toxic enemies.

cl_radar_always_centered
You’ll find useful in-game. The radar can sometimes be misleading, you could see the red dot show up firing on the edge of the circle but they could be just around the corner or the other side of the map. This command will center the radar so you can see all of the maps. It will take a little getting used to, but it’s worth it.
