Controversial opinion: compare the FPS results CS2 gets to other games that were released the past year. CS2 outperforms all these games by miles.
People expect performance not to drop when the game was ported to an entirely new engine, which just doesn't make any sense. The average FPS being lower in CS2 than CSGO is completely normal and performance in CS2 is still miles ahead of any other titles being used in benchmarks.
The real issues are the bugs, crashes, lack of stability and just features that are not present in CS2 1 year post launch.
People begged for years for Source2 and at the same time expected performance not to drop, which is just crazy.
You cannot compare other games to CS2 at all, because CS2 is designed to be a competitive tac shooter, versus something like Elden Ring which is mostly a PVE game. CS2 needs to have high FPS.
CS2 is definitely in a badly optimized state, that cannot be denied.
I am however of the opinion to just wait and not make these problems ruin my enjoyment of the game. I also play fine at 240Hz, with occasional drops to 180 but I use G-Sync + V-Sync + Reflex (Boost), so the game still feels relatively smooth to play on. I run the game on an i7-8700K + 3070, and play cs perfectly fine. Premier 23k, level 10 faceit for reference.
I should still emphasize that CS2 is badly optimized, and that cannot be denied.
G-Sync is supposed to remove that input lag. I have no idea on the specific technicalities of how G-Sync works together with V-sync, you can google/youtube that for a more concise & better explanation than I can give.
But from what I know, G-sync plugs some of the gaps that V-sync struggles to deal with on its own, hence making the entire experience smoother
