Is my CPU performance locked somehow?

In this video, the guy has an i3 2100 + GT 1030 and he gets 117FPS on CS:GO on 1080p.

I have an i3 2120 (supposedly better) + GT 1030, and I get 120-130FPS on CS:GO on only 720p.

Why am I getting lower fps when the 2120 is better? Is it because I have 4GB RAM? Please help

just need to have a friend in America to get the cpu and have them ship it to you
its very light so would not cost much to ship


and it is crazy the I5-3570 is 400$ and the G4560 is about the same price as in the usa.

Found both for around 110 bucks on ebay. Is that price fine or is it still too much

what do you mean both for 110$? what did you find for 110$

Even an i5 3570/k will only give you an extra 10-15fps in csgo.

Its a far better general cpu but csgo is not heavily multi threaded , the only gain you'll get is from the 500mhz clock increase.

Both of the processors, individually for around $110-$130.

I see. Not planning to upgrade any time soon but I thought this would give me like +50 fps at least

i5-3550 and i5-3750, individually.

then it looks like you have your choices, upgrade the cpu and ram or got whole out on next generation system
