GTX 960 Low FPS ! !

[Waqas17]

Im getting low fps in CSGO, tried every settings ( low-med-high) but it didnt effect CSGO Fps at all. This happening only with CSGO. Here is the screenshot that will be helpfull for fixing this issue i think. In HWMonitor, Clock rate of GPU is a bug, u can the actual clock rate in above of csgo screen in GPUZ.
Specs:
CPU: Intel C2Q Q9400 @ 3.3Ghz
GPU: GTX 960 4GB
RAM: 6GB
WIN: 8.1 Pro
MOBO: Asus p5k-v

Youre getting 81fps? Are you on a 1080p 60hz monitor?

Your CPU is showing a max utilization of 100% on all cores, compared to only 65% max on your GPU. Looks like your CPU is 'bottlenecking' your performance.

CSGO draws heavily on your CPU and isn't very taxing on the GPU...

Look at the utilization for both:

CPU around 75-80% and GPU 20%...........Recognize an issue?

maybe CSGO is reliant on bit more ram and CPUpower?, If changing details dont do squat.... the culprit something else?

Is this supposed to be advice or an observation or what?

Back to the question, I was implying that your CPU is certainly older and less powerful, meaning it might struggle with some settings in CSGO. If you try lowering some of it, you will see better results as it does draw heavily on the CPU

Yes im using 1080p 60hz monitor, my fps goes to 150+ but suddenly drops to 60-70, its fluctuating.

Settings does not change fps at all, if i put all thing lower, even 1024x768 resolution, there is no improvement on fps 1080p vs 768p.

Maybe my GPU is locked at utilization because my mobo PCI x16 is 1.0 Slot ?? maybe this is the case? but i tried Bf3, COD:AW, maxed setting, smooth silky 60 fps.

So your FPS stays above 60? If so, then you dont have a problem. Your monitor is physically incapable of showing more than 60 frames a second.

There will absolutely zero perceivable difference between 60fps and 1000fps on that monitor as it can only refresh the image you see 60 times every second.

Yes and indeed it was a bad bottleneck, i overclocked a bit more by raising VCore voltage to 1.3 ( tho Hwmonitor shows Max vcore 1.256V) and now with 3.4Ghz im getting stable fps between 120-160.

You obviously don't play CS...

I do actually, i have 993 hours in csgo on steam, im just checking this card that i just bought 1 day ago. Because on youtube people are getting average 200+ fps with GTX 960 in CSGO, so i was wondering why im not getting this. So yea its because of my CPU and i know how fps works in CSGO i was just checking performance of 960.

No I was referring to Gallarian

 

[Gallarian]

Nope, I don't. Judging by that response though, I assume its one of those games that has f*cked up engine that links framerate to other factors?

 

[DasHotShot]

You seem to have solved his issues anyway...not sure how though.

I bet there will be a new thread with "Guys, is my CPU bottlenecking my build?"

Love this forum to bits

Solved by Overclocking my CPU a little bit more, before it was 3.2Ghz but now its 3.4Ghz stable.

Where does it say OC your CPU?

Nothing against you Galarian, I am just baffled by a bit

 

[Gallarian]

Haha, no offence taken. I suppose its implied in the statement that 'your cpu is bottlenecking' that increasing its speed would help - though I would have seriously doubted a +0.2 would have fully alleviated a 100% usage issue.
