CSGO pc for 128 tick

[xDiggyDogx]

Hi all,

I've already got a pc that I thought was doing the job right, until I noticed my fps dropping below 144fps causing stutter and such on ESEA.

This is my pc...
CPU: i5-6600K 3.5Ghz ---> 4.5Ghz 1.275V
GPU: Gigabyte Gtx 970 g1 (I play with one card but I can do SLI)
RAM: 16gb ddr4 2x8gb 2400mhz
Mobo: Asus Z170-A
PSU: 1,000W

My fps went up by about 30 average with the overclock. My fps ranges from 90 sometimes to 300. I've played csgo for years and know about all the launch options and autoexec stuff and have set it up properly, as well as Nvidia control panel power mode and Window's power mode have been set properly. On 64 tick it can get pretty close like at 160fps but never really gets lower. I've tried all ranges of graphics settings and the fps is a result of low settings.

I'm thinking of upgrading either my CPU or GPU, but I'm not sure which one is the problem. Although I don't think I should get this low fps on this build on 128 tick. Any ideas on upgrades or solutions?

Thanks.

1. Is ur temps fine?
2. Do you have a second monitor connected? If so try to disconnect it when ur playing to see if that makes any difference.

My temps are below 75C while stress testing.
I physically disconnected my other monitor and I got a 5 fps average increase. However I only tested it once.
My CPU usage is at about 80%-95% while benchmarking while my gpu stays at about 40% until it goes through thick smoke screen, there it goes to 100%.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm at 1080p

Are you on Win10? If you are you've probably disabled xbox dv (Dont want it recording on you silently) check it hasn't turned back on because of an update.

If updated gpu drivers that might be why, a setting that has reverted or driver itself is dodgy. Check prefer maximum power as default option optimal can break performance.

Playing CPU bound games (like almost all Source engine games are) at low resolutions like you're doing is exactly the kind of scenario where higher speed memory can make a significant improvement to your minimum FPS. I'd shoot for an overclock to the 3000-3200MHz range and the lowest latencies possible to see how much those minimum go up since you are on relatively low speed DDR4 (compared to the fastest variety that's north of 4000MHz).

Yes I am on Windows 10, however I do know about Xbox dvr and have disabled it a long time ago. Checked it again to be safe, it was still off.
Nvidia control panel settings say that Power management mode is set to maximum performance so I don't see any issues there.
Thanks for your reply.

I didn't know full HD was a low resolution... I wouldn't know how to oc ram but I'm sure yt can help. I'll try it out and see what happens...

While it may not be a low (i.e. non-stressful) resolution for an mid-tier GPU like the GTX 970, it certainly is for most upper tier GPUs, but that's besides the point. What I was mainly getting at was that any game where your GPU churns out in excess of a couple hundred FPS at your target resolution is by and large going to be CPU limited on both the top and bottom end of the FPS range, and with games based on Valve's Source engine, that's basically a given. I don't know how much may have changed with the version used in CS:GO, but in my experience with L4D, L4D2, TF2 and other Source engine games and mods, they have always responded well to anything you can do to improve CPU performance.
