This pc should be able to run csgo but it doesnt get more than 50 fps

[mikeal200]

alright so this is a rig that i am building for a friend all the parts are parts i have found or acquired over the years.

cpu: q6700 @ 2.66 ghz
ram: 2x 2gb 800mz ddr2 ram
Psu: allieo 400w
gpu: radeon hd7750 1gb ddr5
mobo: couldnt tell you some powerspec ameritrade bs idk but does it really matter if it does tell me
hdd: Ide hard drive 80gb samsung it doesnt say the rpm but lets assume 5400 cause thats the worst it could be

so in theory this system should run csgo above 60 fps at the lowest settings but it just doesnt it has a new install of win 7 64bit which may be the problem because it using more ram than it should and maybe the ram is the bottleneck but help would be appreciated and if you need anymore info like screenshots ingame of msi overlay showing usages or just anything let me know. thanks!

Where does this theory come from?

That hardware is generations old and CS continually updates its games for newer generations...

This is nothing out of the norm.

Try running this and see what results it gives you. https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

It's not perfect but will give you a very good idea of what you are lacking in your system. (everything)

Windows is probably using 2GB of the memory and that is a very slow processor at todays standard.
A old l3 2100 is much faster not to even compair it to todays processors.

Yeah I have to agree, I would be happy with 50fps using that hardware. That CPU is 11 years old and the GPU is almost 6 years old and wasn't a high end GPU even then.

What resolution and settings are you using?

 

[Zerk2012]

I dont think any resolution would matter the CPU and memory just can't do it.
80GB hard drive with just updated windows, a couple of programs, and the game could have the drive to full to function good.

I have ran that it says it meets all the requirements and cs can run on potatoes dude but either way if you look up videos of the same processor it runs cs fine at over 100 fps on high to med settings also I've used this graphics card in a different rig and it works just fine plus you can also watch vids with the card and it runs it fine

I've also tried another hard drive to no avail I really think it's the ram to be honest and yes Windows is using about 2 gb so that's one reason but like I said the CPUs is fine I've seen people use it and get way more fps in cs and I used to used the 7750 back in the day and I don't know what your talking abut wasn't good in its time it used to be a top notch card it has more then enough power to play cs

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=px4rf3ePCXY this is a bad example cause low frames but still higher than mine

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qbdfXro5P_g Not the same cpu 1 tier below mine and still runs game smoother he has stuff maxed and when he's not recording gets 55-125fps

Q6600 with a 5770 here. all high @1080 and i get over 100 fps almost everywhere

That would put us back to this from my 2 above post. If you run out of memory it will still play but just using the hard drive.
Windows is probably using 2GB of the memory
80GB hard drive with just updated windows, a couple of programs, and the game could have the drive to full to function good

 

[mikeal200]

And this would put me back to two posts ago where I say I've used another hard drive a sata one that is a tb and still the same thing

 

[Zerk2012]

The only having 2 free GB of memory would be a issue.

 

[mikeal200]

That's what I was thinking man
