Here are the three easiest methods to display your FPS counter in CS:GO:

Method 1: Using Console Command (Recommended)

  1. Open the console by pressing the tilde key (~)
  2. Type "cl_showfps 1" and press Enter This will show your current FPS in the top-left corner of your screen. To hide it again, type "cl_showfps 0".

Method 2: Using Net Graph

  1. Open console
  2. Type "net_graph 1" and press Enter This displays detailed information including FPS, ping, and other network stats. Use "net_graph 0" to turn it off.

Method 3: Using Steam Overlay

  1. Open Steam settings while in-game (Shift + Tab)
  2. Click on "In-Game" in the left menu
  3. Under "In-game FPS counter," select your preferred corner
  4. Click "OK" to save

Quick Tips:

  • Make sure you have the console enabled in CS:GO settings
  • To enable console: Settings > Game Settings > Enable Developer Console (~)
  • The net_graph command offers the most detailed information
  • Steam's FPS counter works in all Steam games

If you're experiencing low FPS, consider lowering your video settings or updating your graphics drivers. For competitive play, I recommend using the simple cl_showfps 1 command as it's less intrusive than the other methods.

To customize the net_graph position, you can use these additional commands:

  • net_graphheight [value] - Adjusts vertical position
  • net_graphpos [0-3] - Changes horizontal position

All these methods work in both CS:GO and CS2, making them future-proof options for monitoring your game's performance.
