Abnormally low fps in csgo with the new RX 480.

[highlandshrimp]

I recently built a pc for a friend. This was my first full pc build(CPU=Intel i5 6500 3.2 ghz LGA 1151; RAM=hyperx fury 8 gigs; PSU=corsair 600 watts; GPU=XFX Radeon RX 480 RX480M8BFA6 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5; Windows 10, and all other parts), and I must say that it went smoothly,except that the 24 pin wasn't plugged in properly and threw me a loop the next day as it wouldnt turn on the mobo, but everything else. I have only put a GTX 970 and upgraded psu into my own buisness class pc with an i7 4770k. In CS:GO, my pc gets 299fps(max) on its highest settings, 1080p. His pc only gets about 160 fps on 1024p. I have updated all the drivers on his pc, and no matter, it still lags. I have read that csgo is cpu inensive, but not to that level. Also, he runs dual monitors in windowed fullscreen, I only have 1 in fullscreen. I don't know what is wrong, plz halp.

The extra pixels from teh two-screen + CS:GO's affinity to Nvidia GPUs makes this absolutely normal.

so, this means that in future games, like bf1 and others, or some older games like garry's mod, the fps levels will stay at great levels? I have heard people having problems with their rx 480s not producing

Yes. And whatever problems there still are will be ironed out with driver updates. This is the way it goes with new generation GPUs. It takes a while for them to iron out the issues in the drivers. Luckily, AMD has an alot better track record lately with their drivers and have bee on par with Nvidia.

Nah mate, I have a 7870 XT and I get around 300-550 FPS in CSGO.
