Low FPS on CS:GO?

[Ethanh100]

I recently upgraded my system from one with a fx 4300 cpu and a gtx 750ti 2gb, to a fx 8320 and a gtx 960 4gb. On my old rig i was getting around 70 fps on around medium settings> when I upgraded, i found that there was very little difference and that I am now only getting around 100 fps. People with this card are gertting well over 200 fps, and my friend that I gave my 750ti to is getting around 150 fps with that. I played around with settings and resolution, and there was no difference between everything on low/very low and everything on high/very high.(I am running a 1080p monitor) In task manager only 3.9gb of 7.9 of ram are being used so thats not the problem. I even put it on DSR 2715x1527 and the fps was still the same. Why is this happening? Thanks guys.

What motherboard are you using? What happens if you put the 4300 back in?

The only explanation I can think of is a CPU bottleneck. Which doesn't really make sense to me since CS:GO isn't that demanding.

Do you have some type of GPU monitoring software on your system already? If so, then go play CS GO and see if the GPU is pegged at 100% (turn v sync OFF), if it isn't then it's indeed a CPU bottleneck.

while playing my gpu usage is sitting around 30%. My cpu usage is sitting around 30-40% so thats weird. That indicated that its not a cpu bottleneck. and my friend who is on a fx 6300 at stock speeds is sitting around 150 fps. (i am oc'd at 4 ghz) And I had my gtx 960 with my fx 4300 while i was waiting for my cpu to come and the fps was the same as it is now with t he new cpu.

That's strange. Defiantly not a bottleneck for sure.

I suggest updating all the drivers on your PC, from your chipset to your graphics.

you know what, I installed this mobo today and on the webpage for this board there were only networking and audio drivers for download and i was going to go back and download them later but i forgot. Let me download msi live update and see if it can find them.

So i downloaded live update 6 and checked for mb drivers, and bios updates but it found nothing as you can see below

as you can see it only wants me to download thier dumb utilities. Where can i get the chipset driver, because it is not on the msi website as you can see below...
