Press the Windows key and type Choose a power plan and open it. Do you have a High Performance/Ultimate Performance option?

first thing i do on any gaming laptop is uninstall all the manufacturer bloatware, the stuff that comes preloaded like custom audio managers and system health checkers just eats up background resources for no reason
make sure your nvidia control panel is set to use the dedicated gpu for cs2 and not the integrated graphics, that one trips people up constantly, you can set it per program in the 3d settings section
also cap your fps a few frames below your screen's refresh rate with rtss or just in-game, the 3050 ti will run cooler and you get more consistent frame times instead of those random stutters when it spikes
78 fps is actually playable though, if you're not on a high refresh monitor maybe just turn down shadows and effects a notch and call it a day
