How to Show FPS Counter in CSGO

Show FPS in CSGO: FPS, or Frames Per Second, is a crucial element in video games. It can make or break the gaming experience, affecting how smooth the game looks and how responsive it feels. High FPS is essential in first-person shooters (FPS), as players rely on quick reflexes to take down enemies. Low FPS can be a major problem in these games and easily lead to frustration and defeats.

Of course, there are ways you can improve your FPS in CS:GO, but that is not what this article is about. This article will talk about four ways to display FPS in CSGO.

Here are the four ways by which you can display your FPS in CSGO:

Enable Net_Graph 1

In CSGO, it is possible to show FPS using the Net Graph. You can enable this by opening the console and typing in “net_graph 1.”

Net_Graph will show FPS, latency, and choke on the left side of the screen. If the FPS is low, it may be necessary to lower some graphics settings. If you are having trouble doing this, here’s how to do it step-by-step:

• Launch CS:GO
• Once you’re in the game, press ”~” this key on your keyboard
• A console window will open up, type “net_graph 1” and hit Enter.

Using Windows Gamebar

Windows 10 comes with a nifty little feature called the Windows Game Bar. The Windows Game Bar is a toolbar that provides quick access to gaming-related features on your PC, such as taking screenshots, recording gameplay, etc. One of the lesser-known features of the Windows Game Bar is its ability to display your game’s framerate (FPS).

• To enable FPS tracking in the Windows Game Bar, open it up by pressing Win+G on your keyboard.
• You will find a floating performance window displaying stats such as CPU, GPU, VRAM, RAM and FPS. Here’s how it looks like:

• From here, you will have to click on the Pin Button as shown in the image above. You can further customize this floating window by clicking on the settings window as shown below:

The FPS meter in the Windows Game Bar can be helpful for troubleshooting performance issues in games. If you’re seeing low FPS numbers, you may need to optimize your game settings or upgrade your hardware.

Conclusion

That’s how you can display your FPS in CSGO. I have mentioned the other options because the net_graph, also known as the traditional way to show metrics in CSGO, has too many numbers that keep on changing. This becomes distracting while you are trying to focus.
