770 gtx is giving 50-70 fps in cs:go need help improving

[Goofie]

my rig is
AMD A10 5800k
EVGA gtx 770 2gb
12gig ram
benQ 24" 1080p \ hp 22"

and yet I only get 50-70 fps in cs:go with low settings something is wrong.

Have you tried some GPU intensive games?

like what kind of games? i mean i have played almost every game that is out except COD and BF. its for the most part the same result it runs but its not perfectly smooth. and like the game Dirty Bomb (in beta atm) lags hard while my friend with the 680 runs it perfectly smooth

like it literally feels like i am maxing out my GPU, but why does my 770 feel like its maxed out on low settings and barely gettting 100 fps when good 70-80 norm on LOW...? taht is why i am even considering it might be the CPU bottleneck but my CPU should be more than enugh. so i came here lol

Alright. Just trying to get as much info as possible. What is your power supply? wattage brand etc?

I'm thinking it might be a software conflict or something simple. Can you go under nvidia settings (right click on desktop and open that) and make sure nvidia is set to global default instead of auto?

What I'm going to recommend is reinstalling windows completely eventually if we can't solve the problem. But I want to rule out other possibilities before I recommend that option

ok now this is something that has bothered me is that in the NVIDIA control pannel there is no drop down menu in the global settings only the settings themselves.. there is no #1 and #2 i click global tab and it just shows settings.

also power supply is 700 watt thermaltake TR2

what would reinstalling windows do? i run stress tests fine and movies/videos amazingly with plenty of fps but games just dont perform..

i was also thinking the CPU bottleneck i have been told that if i get like an i7 it will work better with my NVIDIA and get 40% fps increase but idk if that is still 100% true, still looking to get a good i7 tho as well side note but for now this problem.

You'd be surprised what a reinstall of windows could do. lol. Don't judge an option too quickly 😛

your totally right but i was just wondering what it could acutally do, basically all reinstalling windows would do is reinstall/fix any broken/missing files and possibly drivers but for this case i dont really see that being the problem here but i am very well open to being wrong at any time. =D

that's exactly why I'd reinstall it. I'm thinking it has to be a driver issue or something is interfering with your gpu. What that is, I can't say.

Then again you wouldn't really lose anything by reinstalling windows. I see people spend hours diagnosing their computers and in the end just basically do a clean install of windows to fix it. This low fps problem and that really big drop is what's making me think it's a driver conflict.

Can't hurt right?

But if you really don't want to, my next option is install the previous drivers that were released. Not the newest ones and see if that fixes it.

(Or going off the bottleneck theory, you could try overclocking your cpu. I seriously doubt it's this though)

so i did a full reinstall of windows reinstalled steam and cs and all my drivers and STILL getting low fps about 100 on LOW settings but its not even close to stable it drops down to 40 up to 150. why am i still having this problem?

i have overclocked my CPU to 4.0ghz from 3.8ghz and i got about a 20-40 fps increase, wasnt alwayshigher but about half the time it was higher fps. i had all 4 cores running at about 70% in cs:go at the 4.0ghz. could this be a cpu bottleneck?

also i was told to check my mobo it is a ASRock FM2A85X Extreme4
if someone could tell me if it is good enugh for what im doin id appreciate it (i dont know anything about mobos)

Well your mobo seems ok by me (I am definitely nowhere near an expert) but it does seem that if an 200 Mhz OC brought you that much fps difference then I do believe you are dealing with a CPU bottleneck here.

So i went ahead and upgraded my CPU from the a10 5800k to the i7 4790k and i now get 750 fps in csgo up from the 70 with my EVGA 770 SC 2GB. Definitely a CPU bottleneck

Great nice job!!! I would have gone for an AMD FX CPU personally but thats just me, and i7 4790k destroys FX cpu's anyways. good choice!!!
