⚙️1. FPS Boosting Commands
Open the game console (press Esc, click the “~” key) and enter the following commands:

fps_max 101
cl_showfps 1
rate 25000
cl_updaterate 101
cl_cmdrate 101

💡 These settings reduce network latency and fix frames per second
🌐 2. Ping Reduction Settings
Close background applications like Discord and Chrome.

Use wired internet (Ethernet) instead of Wi-Fi.

Go to Steam > Settings > In-Game > Turn off Steam Overlay.
🎨 3. Graphics Performance Setting
Switch to performance-oriented settings instead of visual quality.

“Video Mode: OpenGL”

“Resolution: 800x600”

“Brightness: %100”
🔧 4. Bonus: cfg File
If you want to activate these commands at every startup, add them to this page:

cstrike > userconfig.cfg

And Save!
💬 5. Conclusion
After making these adjustments, the average:

FPS increases by +40

Ping decreases by 10–30 ms

Gameplay becomes smoother
