How to fix drop FPS when smoke on screen in Counter Strike
I have a gaming laptop and my drivers are updated. Usually, I'm playing with 200+ FPS, but since the last CS:GO update, when a smoke pops on the screen I drop to 30-40 FPS. I'm playing with an AWP and when I zoom in it is horrible!

You could try using a different DirectX level (Command Line Options)
-dxlevel - Forces a specific DirectX version when launching the engine. This is useful if your graphics card is DirectX 9 capable, but a lot faster using only DirectX 8 (e.g. NVidia GeForce FX 5200). Multiply the desired DirectX version to use with ten. E.g. for DirectX 8.0 you would use -dxlevel 80. For DX9 there are three possible values depending on the Shader Model the graphics card supports. Seemat_dxlevel.
