Question CS2 only using 40-50% of CPU and GPU

[schmef]

The game barely reaches 150fps but stays around that fps/usage on both low and medium settings on 1080p and lower competetive 4:3 resolutions (all low sttings with fidelity resultion on ultra) . I'm using a 1660super paired with an 5600g and 32 gigs of ram. Temperature never goes above 60 degrees and I've tried reinstalling/restarting etc. Any advice would be appreciated. (I have not capped my fps, could it be the lack of cores on the cpu?)

Do you have VSync on? That would be an effective FPS cap.

If you aren't seeing 100% CPU use, more cores won't do any good. You might also be CPU bound on single thread performance, in which case you won't get much more FPS out of the setup, short of some overclock or another CPU entirely.

You may see more GPU usage if you bump up graphic settings a bit. Is 150fps unacceptably slow, even for a FPS?
