More games, Lower FPS?

[watabitobla]

I just have two games in my PC(CSGO and Stranded Deep). When I first played CSGO the fps was very high 200+ but when I added Stranded Deep it fell. I increased my memory clock and all but still no progress. What should I do?

have you set the fps cap to 0 in csgo? and what kind of maps and game mode you played when you get high fps?

There's no established reason why having another game on your PC will lead to an fps drop (if that were true nobody would install more than one program on a PC). The cause is likely something else which occurred around the same time making it seem coincidental.

Use something like MSI Afterburner to analyse what is going on when you are playing games and try and see what coincides with the fps drop. I would suggest monitoring the following: CPU, GPU usage and temperatures; RAM usage; fps and frametimes. Those things should give a clear idea of what is occurring.

General system considerations: use task manager to see what processes are running; plus anti-virus and malware scan to be on the safe side.

I have GTX 1050ti, i5-7500 and 16gb ram

Probably driver related.

Use DDU to uninstall all your graphics drivers and then reinstall GeForce Experience, and the latest drivers, use express installation.

Try it again and see.

90% of the low fps problems I get are fixed by that.

Take the memory OC off. A bad memory overclock can decrease performance as it can increase the error rate. Its generally not worth doing.
