Upgraded GPU, CSGO Low FPS

[GingerGuy36]

Recently, i went from my old APU, to an RX 550, i know it isnt an amazing card, but I get less than 60 fps on lowest settings 800 x 600. My friends Intel Hd 4000 does better than that.

I have tried...
Reinstalling Game
verifying game files
checking for driver updates
making sure temps arent to high (they are at 60 degrees at 100% usage using FurMark
Update:
also made sure hdmi is plugged into GPU and not mobo
Also made sure Integrated Graphics are disabled in BIOS.
Also tried updating drivers


What else can i do

What APU? CS:GO FPS is very dependent on single core performance of the cpu.

Are you sure your BIOS isn't using the integrated GPU and not your 550? Turn the GPU section off in the BIOS and see if it makes a difference.

Okay... How do i do that? Sorry, kind of new to this. Thanks for the replies btw!

Actually, it wouldnt really make sense though because i played Star wars Battlefront 2, which couldnt even open on my old APU. Also, the device manager says RX 550 under display.

You do know how to get into your BIOS, correct? What are you on? A laptop or a desktop?

 

[Karadjgne]

You've been using an APU this whole time. That means the cable from the monitor has been plugged into the motherboard. Since adding the gpu are you sure the monitor was moved to the gpu now, and not still plugged into the motherboard?

I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt on such an obvious thing, but I suppose I should assume nothing. :/

I can get into my bios. Im on a desktop. When i get home i’ll try it out.

Lol, it's such a simple oversite. You'd actually be surprised at the amount of times ppl miss the little things. Everything from not taking off the film under a new heatsink, plugging monitors into motherboard ports, even putting ram in the wrong slots and wondering why they get dismal performance. Even once saw an Op move from a gtx750ti to a gtx970 and forget that it needed supplemental power, he wasn't used to it.

My favorite one was an Op who posted that he couldn't change the channels on his TV after he lost the remote.

Take nothing for granted, cover every base possible. The more that's eliminated as possible, the more the improbable becomes viable.

checked in BIOS, integrated graphics is disabled.

Can’t find a cs go benchmark for that APU but a review I found puts it behind an i3 3220 when using with a dedicated gpu.

What is the cpu usage on each core while playing cs go, do any cores hit 100%?

What program should i use to test it?

 

[sizzling]

MSIAfterburner is a good program

All cores were around 40-60%...... GPU at 100%...

That's the issue. With gpu at 100% it's got nowhere to improve when frames get heavy, so fps tanks.

Go into nvidia control panel and reassign physX to cpu.
Make sure you have the latest bios revision and also the latest motherboard chipset drivers for audio, Lan, USB controllers etc. Win10 updates can play havoc with legacy drivers, slowing down processes, freezing the gpu, even including crashes, bsod and blackscreens. After installing the drivers you'll probably need to do a custom/clean install of the graphics drivers to reallocate new version numbers.

If you can raise the resolution, do so. Native resolutions are much easier on the gpu as it doesn't have to render in a different resolution. So if your monitor is 1024x768, or 1080p use that instead.
It's a Rx 550. While not uber powerful, it's still decent, and shouldn't have any issues with 1080p or lower resolutions, decent graphics settings and good fps in cs:go. So play with your settings, don't just stick them on low as the cpu has room to take up slack and balance the load.

I dont have anything Nvidia. Would it still work?

Also, the shitty thing about my MOBO is the lack of support. MSI has nothing on their website about BIOS updates, and no where can I find updates to my chipsets or anything. I tried updating through device manager my audio drivers and such, but they are up to date.

 

[Karadjgne]

I have a Z77 msi mpower mobo, just updated yesterday.

So yes there is.

What's the exact motherboard?
Start here.

Updating through the Device manager will read as updated since many devices are using windows generic drivers, which are upto date and you have no other driver files stored on the pc.

Name, not number, like 970 Gaming or 760g pc mate etc. It'll be printed on the motherboard, somewhere around the top pcie slot usually
