Help, there is no smoothness in games and strange weapon recoil.

Try going into a gaming PC cafe and see if your problem still persists, and if it does it could mean that whatever you are experiencing could all just be something cognitive related rather than the computer itself

I was at a friend's house. He has a private house with a weak and terrible monitor and a low-end PC, but he has fiber-optic internet with 250 Mbps. His monitor is an old LG with dead pixels and an IPS panel, picture quality is terrible, 144 Hz, but the gameplay experience is indescribable—less input lag, I don't know how to even explain it. Shooting with an AK-47 feels completely different; bullets hit exactly where I aim, everything on the screen appears slow, but the game feels fast and lively. I couldn't tear myself away from the game; everything seemed very easy. Also, he has tracers for bullets in APEX and CS2, which I don't see at home. All weapons fire without visual recoil and no weight in movements—everything is clear and fast.

I can't even understand what this might be related to—fiber-optic internet or electricity—I honestly don't know. I have 1000 Mbps at home, but I use Ethernet cable and don't have fiber in my apartment.

Another thing I noticed: for example, I shoot with a deagle at someone's head, and the bullet hits instantly where I aimed. At his place, it feels like there's a delay—I'm shooting at a player who appears right in front of me, aiming at his head, but the bullet doesn't reach in time and hits further away from him—as if I need to lead my shots.

Recoil in games is doubled; I shoot 1-3 bullets, but the first ones go above the head with terrible spread—it's just awful. At his place, when I pull my mouse down, all bullets go exactly where I aim. In Apex Legends especially, everything hits perfectly.

I can't take my PC there to test because it won't help—I might see perfection there, but what will that give me? I can't live there; he lives with his parents.

I don't see the problem in bringing your PC to his place to confirm your suspicions (side by side comparison) that it is indeed your residence that is the problem, doing so will eliminate any possibilities that other factors that might be causing the problem, thus allowing you to focus on that specific thing. If you haven't confirmed that it is indeed your residence that is the problem, why are you so dead set that it is indeed your place of stay that is the problem? I've seen users on here confirm that sometimes they are just unlucky with the parts they receive which is the reason for their problems.

there is command to show / hide tracers in cs ? maybe your autoexec is from cs go and you are playing cs2?
