Bad FPS in CSGO

[vestedchicken65]

Recently i have noticed that in CSGO i am getting pretty bad frame rate, so i decided to run an in-game csgo fps benchmarks test, when i ran the test pretty much on max graphics i was only able to achieve an average of 60fps which is pretty bad considering when i used to be able to get about 120 on the same test. Even when i dropped my graphics setting down to the lowest i still only got an average of 101fps. So i am wondering if anyone has any ideas on why i could be getting such bad frames.
PC specs:
Geforce GTX 960(2gb)
AMD FX-8320(4ghz overclock)
8gb ddr3 ram
144hz monitor
Windows 10

Is your CPU throttling down while gaming or is it actually holding 4.0Ghz?

Was your monitor inadvertently set to 60hz in your windows display settings? If so and vsync is enabled, that would explain your lowered FPS.

Wouldn't have gotten 101 on next test if vsync was enabled.

What board? Wonder if his vrms on his board finally gave up on the CPU. What board do you have? Many am3+ boards support those 83** processors but don't like them at all

Dropping CSGO settings to its lowest offloads graphic work onto your CPU. I would suggest setting them to mid settings. If your running one of my maps that fps drop is normal.

Valve has went out of their way to add content without much in the way of optimizing the game. You can try removing some features using an autoexec.cfg file in the csgo/cfg folder. These setting may increase your fps a bit. Most player models have goggles so why include eyes?
