Hi everyone, about 10 months ago i built my first pc and thought it had been running really well but ive come to realise its performance isnt the same as similar builds with fps tests. CSGO maxed i barely reach 300fps and thats even at 4.8ghz. Does anyone know what could be happening as ive seen other people reach 500-600 with the same build. Ive looked at other games such as the witcher 3 and the same problem is happening.

Gtx 1060 6gb
I7 7700k
8gb ram
 
Solution
500-600FPS? I don't think I've ever seen that. Even the best monitors will only do 144-175, so this isn't really a problem. What games are not hitting your monitors refresh rate?
