Hello, I'm expiriencing some lags when i throw smokes in CS:GO. I have stable 100-120 fps, but as soon as I throw smoke and zoom thru it(with an awp) or simply walk in it, I get 15-20.
My config is:
Processor: AMD Phenom II x840 Edit: I've replaced this processor for a better one for a try it was 6 cores AMD (am3+ socket) FPS went up to 150, but problem of smokes persisted
MB: Asus M5A78L-M LX
Ram: 4gb ddr3 (don't know the speed unfortunately)
Graphics: Asus Nvidia 730GT 2gb ddr3
Power:550W

Then it would help if you listed what you tried and what it did or did not do. Without that info we can only assume you tried nothing aside from what's in your post.

Your video card is pretty low end, but for CDGO it's OK, although the DDR3 version of the 730 is slower than the recommended GDDR5 version. Chances are that the video card is the issue. There are other posts with smoke issues in SCGO, I don't know if any of them had a solution to it or just died for lack of a fix.

Yeah, it sounds like it could be any number of things. I think it could be your GPU, maybe RAM, maybe your game. Does this happen with other games?

Try these:
Verify the integrity of your game cache through Steam to see if it's a problem with the game's files.
If you have a lot of things open in the background, try closing some or all of them to see if freeing up RAM helps.
Also, try updating your GPU drivers if you haven't already, or reinstalling them to see if that fixes the issue.
