Let's start with your full system specs including brand and model.

You're gonna have to tell us in what game you have 180-250FPS and at what resolution/Hz.

Did you uninstall the drivers before adding your new GPU? Did you use DDU?

You're dumping all the work on the cpu. The gpu won't do much of anything if that's your playstyle.

Do you have the a Nvidia Control panel? If so go into that and adjust your resolution settings there.

Did you use DDU app to uninstall your previous GPU drivers? usually you need to update your drivers did you do that?

Damn no wonder you have problems

Please download DDU - https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2608
Download the latest drivers for your GPU on the official website. Don't use outdated drivers from the CD.

• Start DDU and choose "reboot in safe mode"
• While in safe mode start DDU and choose at the right "Nvidia"
• Click on "Clean and reboot" recommended option
• After the reboot install the drivers package you downloaded. Do not install Geforce Experience with it.
• Reboot.
• Try again.

what should i do

For your playstyle, to maximize fps, you need the fastest cpu you can get your hands on, as well as high speed ram.
Getting a stronger gpu does next to nothing at your preferred settings.

i know but my gpu goes up to 4ghz with 8 threads i think thats enough for cs

DOING IT

CS? CS: GO?
That game prefers cpus with strong single core performance. Doesn't care too much about the gpu.
It runs off of just 4 threads - someone correct on this if it's wrong.

For the settings you want to run, a GTX 1660 was not an upgrade.
A 9700K + Z390 motherboard + 2x 8GB 3600mhz ram would've been.

You installed the most recent driver for your card? With your monitor are you using a Display port cable? or HDMI? also make sure when you are checking your resolution adjustments you are using the one that allows you to pick 240HZ and im not sure if that Monitor has G-Sync or not but if it does turn off V-sync in your in game settings.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

If the op is still running low res like he showed, then CPU is likely bottlenecked at that res. Try to set to 1920x1080 and I would guess a lot of frame drops go away.

Did you disable Vsync?
