Why do I get low FPS in CS:GO?

[bogdan3d]

All my in game settings are on low in the video section. I play on 1366 x 768 resolution. So low resolution, and low settings should give me higher FPS. I am not sure why i get low FPS. (170-200) with the GPU that I have.
I used to get the same FPS with a GeForce GTX 550Ti.
Can someone please tell me why I get low FPS?

Thanks a lot

gtx 970 is overkill for 1366 x 768.
Did you activate it after you changed it?
Here's how:
Click Start and then Control Panel. ...
Double-click NVIDIA Control Panel.
Click View and next Add "Run with graphics processor" Option to Context Menu. ...
Right-click the application title and select Run with graphics processor.

I can't find the "View" thing in the Nvidia Control Panel. I have View rating for games, and View HDCP status.

Thanks for taking your time to reply. I can't find the "View" thing in the Nvidia Control Panel. Where is it located?

There are no drivers for CPUs. only for GPUs.
nVIDIA driver is up to date.

I maent the gpu drivers but ok. Do you have gsync/freesync on? That decreases framerate but increases gaming preformance

I dont use the gforce experience gaming thing because it does indeed decrese framerate. i did some tweaks to the game and it game me some more fps. thanks for your time and help i appreciate it

BTW csgo servers are refreshed 62 times per second - max fps is 62 in competitive

so what monitor are you using that you think 200 FPS is "low"??

 

[bogdan3d]

I have a SyncMaster SA700 3D monitor. 120 hz. I think its my CPU that bottlenecks the GPU. I also don't have an SSD.

yes, you have probably the worse amd cpu for gaming barring a dual core


also at such low resolutions the gpu is removed as the bottleneck, the cpu becomes the fps limiter

thats the reason you have the same fps either with a 970 or your old 550 ti



you cant just add a better gpu and hope for better fps when the rest of your system is not up to the task

Yeah thats what I thought as well. I bought the PC premade online. It was at a very good price when I purchased it. Its been about 5 years so time to upgrade that CPU
