Intel HD 530 Low fps in csgo

[matranshgupta]

I recently bought a new pc. The system is-

Skylake i3 6100 3.7ghz
Intel HD 530 Integrated graphics
g.skill 4gb ddr4 ram
win 10 64-bit
1tb seagate hdd
iball marathon 500w psu

i saw a lot of youtube benchmarking videos of this processor and gpu and they all give 120 fps at an average at low settings in csgo and usually around 60-80 fps at high settings. Seeing these benchmarks i bought this pc. But I'm only getting 60 fps at low settings and 40 fps at high settings. Why this is happening? I believe that this is because of win 10 but im not sure.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
someone plz suggest any good way to increase my fps.
Also I've tried razer game booster but it didn't helped. And also, the CPUs performance is getting to only about 5-8%.
Thank you for your help.

Since you only have 4 GB's of RAM and the iGPU uses quite a bit of that, you might benefit from more RAM. Also, if you have the option in your Bios, you should increase the amount of RAM allocated to graphics. You would want it set to a minimum of 2 GB or max depending on what options you have (if any).

Unfortunately, this was your first mistake. Those benchmarks are normally so skewed (if not flat out lies) as to be completely worthless. As for increasing performance, adding RAM and making sure nothing else is running in the background. Of course, you could always add a discrete graphics card, but if you do, I'd probably recommend a new power supply as well.

Integrated GPU's are usually starved for memory bandwidth. Dedicated GPU's have dedicated memory, usually much faster GDDR5 or GDDR5x. That having been said, if you can run dual channel memory (pick up a second identical 4 GB g.skill ddr4, look up your mobo's RAM slot pairs) it actually makes a huge difference. Sometimes as much as 20-25% fps in certain games. You can google single vs dual channel ram + igpu for some examples. It's a cheap upgrade that's also useful for everyday non-gaming stuff as well.

how to add more memory to graphics card?
And well, i think 4 GB is enough as its DDR4. I cant add more ram or upgrade anything as i just bought this pc.

my friend who's having gtx 750ti is also having the same psu and its giving 200= fps at high settings. So i dont think there's a prob with psu.

You don't have a graphics card, you have integrated graphics on the CPU. It uses the system RAM for VRAM. Unless you add more RAM, I'm afraid there is very little you will be able to improve. And for the record, your PSU is very poor quality, but it doesn't have anything to do with your current problem.

No. The power supply is not the cause of your problems now. I said *IF* you were to get a discrete graphics card, your should get a new power supply as well.

BadActor was talking about how much RAM is allocated (set aside via software) for use by the IGPU (integrated graphics processing unit, literally built into that CPU.) Doing that won't usually make a difference except under special circumstances. Most commonly, games not loading and saying insufficient graphics memory.

What will make a difference is adding 4 GB to main RAM. This is because the RAM slots are set up in pairs on almost all motherboards now. When you install identical RAM (same size, same speed, same timings, and ideally same manufacturer, etc) into their corresponding slots (look up your motherboard manual) they will use them in dual channel mode.

Dual channel mode will help the IGPU quite a bit. As a very rough explanation, each stick of RAM can communicate at a certain speed. By pairing two separate chips and treating them as one, the computer can use the bandwidth of both at the same time. It isn't perfect, sometimes it has to read information that wound up on only one chip vs being spread equally across both, but it does still help. Because IGP's don't have their own built in fast RAM, they share memory bandwidth with the rest of the system like the CPU. The increased bandwidth from dual channels makes a significant difference.

Obviously, buying a GPU would make much more of a difference. But you can probably find a second 4 GB module for ~$20. That would also help with everyday computing as well. So even if you do decide to eventually buy a GPU it wouldn't be money wasted. Just make sure to look up your mobo specs to see which slots pair up.

ok thx.
whis would help

Adding another stick of RAM not only increases the total amount available, but will allow the memory to run in dual channel. This has a dramatic effect when using integrated graphics because it increases the amount of bandwidth. The CPU and GPU aren't fighting as much when resources (bandwidth) is limited.

can anyone tell me the software with which people record benchmarks. Like in this YouTube video, at the top left corner

That's not a benchmark itself, but rather a game capture program, and what you see is the overlay. Some of the more popular ones are Fraps, D3D, Playclaw, and Dxtory.
