Not getting the fps i should be getting

[Samuel Small]

I have an gtx 1060 gpu, an fx 8370 cpu, 16 gigabytes of ram (1600 ddr3), and a 990 fxa mb. I mainly play CS: GO with 55-65 fps, when i should be getting 250. I know this because my friends play with higher fps and worse computers. All drivers are up to date and no overheating problems. Does anyone have ideas?

Any chance your V-Sync is turned on (in Nvidia and/or in-game)? This caps the FPS to such ~60 frames on a 60Hz monitor. But, no point in going over 60fps if indeed your monitor can only display 60 due to the refresh rate.

If VSync is already off, you can also try setting the Compatibility mode (to other windows version) such as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoEOsUpsawQ

If you're using Windows 10 and DVR (Xbox app), try disabling that: https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/617336568081303155/

You can also set the power option settings to prefer max. performance: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/2twn8z/nvidia_please_disable_the_adaptive_power/

I have disabled the dvr xbox app awhile back and nothing changed, i have vsync off and i get 100 fps on main menu screen but in game is when it is only 55-60. Have any other solution?

Did you also try disabling game bar at the same DVR disable window? (https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/64nelg/psa_check_this_if_you_got_your_fps_locked_at_60/)

And also, have tried the first link I posted above (i.e., compatibility mode and disabling fullscreen optimization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtVz4UpnRfc.)?

I've disabled game bar and nothing changed, I started messing with things I saw in tutorials and my pc is running really slow and it didn't help, my CPU is using 100% of it and at 4.00 ghz.. Erlier I was able to change it from 1 core to 8 but I decided to change it back and changed some things and now I can't change it back to 8. Anything you can do?
