Method 3 (capping the game FPS)#

  1. Open the console

  2. Type com_maxfps 60 and press Enter (Replace 60 by your monitor refresh rate) (Don't go above 250 as higher values are known to cause instability)

Method 4 (updating GPU drivers)#

Keeping your GPU drivers up-to-date is important for performance and stability. See this guide

Method 5 (lowering video settings)#

Some computers can't handle higher graphics, lowering your graphics settings in game may help on weaker computers.

You can also try switching between windowed borderless mode, fullscreen, and normal windowed mode. Try switching between them to see if one gives you more FPS.
