[SOLVED] GTX 1050 gets same fps as GTX 1060 in CS:GO

[stinto113]

I have a really weird issue in CS:GO, my gtx 1050 2gb gets the exact same fps as my gtx 1060, both between 80-150 fps, which a 1060 should get much more fps than that, and same for the 1050. The CPU I have is a ryzen 3 1200 on stock settings.

As an experiment, I would run the DDU again and reinstall the MOST recent Nvidia drivers, but THIS time, I would choose to only install the drivers. NO Geforce experience. Use afterburner or another utility for card settings and optimization. See if it makes any difference. I've seen a lot of people have unexplained issues due to Geforce experience automatically choosing poor optimization settings for a number of things, and, just in general.

Thanks for the reply, but sadly i've tried that many times. I also don't have geforce experience installed either.

Here are the first steps to take when trying to solve these kinds of hardware problems. If you have already tried these steps, all of them, exactly as outlined, we can move along to more advanced solutions.

If there are any you have NOT done, it would be advisable to do so if for no other reason than to be able to say you've already done it and eliminate that possibility.

First, make sure your motherboard has the MOST recent BIOS version installed. If it does not, then update. This solves a high number of issues even in cases where the release that is newer than yours makes no mention of improving graphics card or other hardware compatibility. They do not list every change they have made when they post a new BIOS release.

Second, go to the product page for your motherboard on the manufacturer website. Download and install the latest driver versions for the chipset, storage controllers, audio and network adapters. Do not skip installing a newer driver just because you think it is not relevant to the problem you are having. The drivers for one device can often affect ALL other devices and a questionable driver release can cause instability in the OS itself. They don't release new drivers just for fun. If there is a new driver release for a component, there is a good reason for it. The same goes for BIOS updates.

IF you have other hardware installed or attached to the system that are not a part of the systems covered by the motherboard drivers, then go to the support page for THAT component and check to see if there are newer drivers available for that as well. If there are, install them.

The last thing we want to look at, for now anyhow, is the graphics card drivers. Regardless of whether you "already installed the newest drivers" for your graphics card or not, it is OFTEN a good idea to do a CLEAN install of the graphics card drivers. Just installing over the old drivers OR trying to use what Nvidia and AMD consider a clean install is not good enough and does not usually give the same result as using the Display Driver Uninstaller utility. This has a very high success rate and is always worth a shot.

If you have had both Nvidia and AMD cards installed at any point on that operating system then you will want to run the DDU twice. Once for the old card drivers (ie, Nvidia or AMD) and again for the currently installed graphics card drivers (ie, AMD or Nvidia). So if you had an Nvidia card at some point in the past, run it first for Nvidia and then after that is complete, run it again for AMD if you currently have an AMD card installed.

Here are the full instructions on running the Display driver uninstaller and CLEAN installing new drivers.

And if none of that helps AFTER at least TRYING it, then I'd suggest we are back to the possibility of it being a power supply issue or you might need to do a clean install of the operating system.

It could also simply be a matter of your CPU not being up to the task as mentioned earlier. The fact that you have slow 2400mhz RAM is not helping you any either. Ryzen's infinity fabric ties the CPU performance even MORE closely to the memory speed and configuration that any other previous platform, so at 2400mhz your memory is not allowing your CPU to achieve the performance that it COULD be getting, which is definitely going to limit it's ability to feed the graphics card when you get to situations where you need a high frame rate more than you need eye candy.

After doing some reading around online, I have read other threads from various forums, and it seems Ryzen CPU's at the moment seem to have a weird issue of CS not utilizing the many cores and therefore getting worse performance. Thanks for the help youve done so far.

In that case, I'd definitely make sure I have the latest motherboard bios, chipset driver and keep your eyes open for any patches or updates on the CS:GO website.

A guy in my CS discord server a a ryzen 3 too, and gets the exact same FPS that I do. Can confirm this is most certainly s bug with ryzen processors. Thanks you again for all the answers, and the seasonic PSU you recommended is great

I tend to stick to Intel processors, but I've had plenty of AMD systems as well. Sucks if it's platform related. Again, I'd make sure you have the latest AMD chipset drivers installed, directly from the AMD website. Also make sure your bios is the latest version for both the motherboard and graphics card.
