i7 7700 + 16GB DDR4 2133MHz | bad fps in csgo

[lewis19king]

My full setup is:

MSI H170 Gaming M3
i7 7700 @ 4.0 GHz
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 2133MHz (4x4GB)
GTX 1060 6GB
Windows 10 Pro
Windows and CSGO are both installed on a Crucial MX300 (750GB)

I'm getting an average of ~120 fps but it drops to <100 fps in a normal 5v5 competitive game but I feel like I should be getting 300fps+ easily.

Note: I have XMP enabled in BIOS but it didn't make a difference. I also play on low settings (multicore rendering enabled)

Any help is much appreciated.

XMP is for using RAM faster than 2666mhz. Your RAM is lower than the supported 2666mhz, however it shouldn't reduce your frame rates to,that extent. What GPU are you using? What temperature are your CPU and,GPU running while gaming?

I'm using a GTX 1060 6GB @ 1556MHz

Temps are on average 65-70C on the CPU and ~60C

Try downloading MSI afterburner and see what you get for CPU and GPU usage while gaming.

I'm currently using the CAM software from NZXT and I'm getting ~30% usage on CPU and GPU. I'm also getting ~35% RAM usage too if that helps.

Something is limiting your CPU and GPU usage. Do you have VSYNC turned on?

VSYNC is off

Edit: I just checked my Nvidia settings for CSGO and VSYNC was enabled. I disabled and now I'm getting stable 300 fps. Thanks a lot for the help!
