Extreme CPU usage in CSGO

[Endyos]

Hello, while playing CS:GO im getting like 85-100% CPU usage which is pretty damn high and its limiting my FPS. GPU usage sits arround 50-60%. Any suggestions how can i lower the cpu usage ?

My setup: I5 6500
GTX 960 4GB
8gb ram

That's because CS:GO is a cpu limited game, so yes your cpu is limiting your fps

But i was getting like 250fps 2 weeks ago, now it started to be how it is

I noticed that there's a new version of the game dated 1/12/2017. Any chance that is causing your performance differences?
