Not sure what vintage/era/age of games you are attempting to play, but, a 10 year old processor running a relatively minimal amount of RAM using a relatively low end and old GPU, all with potentially marginal cooling of CPU that you identified *and* a potentially weak PSU all combined do not exactly inspire confidence in constant high frame rates in many games newer than 6-8 years (estimated)

What game are you trying to play that you are getting FPS drops?

 

[simomonaco123]

well i'm geting in every game like tf2 , csgo and fortnite tho

 

[simomonaco123]

everygame i try = fps drops

well i'm geting in every game like tf2 , csgo and fortnite tho

Yeah fps drops are not surprising, your system is ancient. Your CPU and GPU are massively below the minimum for Fortnite, they just barely hit the minimum for CSGO. TF2 should work ok though, but not with ancient hard drives like you have that are probably starting to fail, making in game loading grind.

Its time for a new system.

 

[simomonaco123]

what do you mean so whats the solution

 

[simomonaco123]

well i tried the can it work site and it told me fortnite can work also csgo also tf2

 

[simomonaco123]

but i get these fram drops the gpu usage in tf2 or csgo always below 40% in tf2 i get 22% gpu usage and 40 30 50 cpu usage

That can it work site says it will work, doesn't say it will work well.

As I said for Fortnite it is massively below the minimum specs.

You are getting low GPU usage because your CPU can't keep up with the game. You have low CPU usage because those games are single threaded and the CPU is only using 1 core and the core is not powerful enough to play the game well. If you monitor specific core usage you will see 1 or 2 cores maxed out, i am sure of it.

The solution is there is no solution, you need new equipment.

 

[simomonaco123]

so the solution is to change the cpu the cpu is the probleme its to weak right ? for my gpu

 

[simomonaco123]

wich cpu do u recommend me

The solution is to save your money and buy a new system. Any CPU on that platform is too weak to give you the experience you are looking for.

okey but why my cpu temp is always high even if i'm only using chrome

Your CPU cooler lis likely filled with dust, and at that age its possible the thermal paste has dried out a bit. Cleaning it up and replacing the thermal paste will bring temps down, you may even get some better performance in TF2 and CSGO. Its worth doing if you can't afford an upgrade right now.

I hope that you know you should play on the lowest settings and max resolution of 720p, maybe then it will work better.

man i get a good fps at all these games the probleme is the gpu isnt fully working and the big probleme is its droping big fps drops freezes

Again weak processor that is running hot. Its not fully working because the processor is slow and probably throttling due to heat.

Clean up the cooler, put new thermal paste on, and hope for the best. CSGO and TF2 should run OK. Fortnite will not.

 

[simomonaco123]

so your telling me that i will not get more fps drops like csgo and tf2 if i clean n change the thermal paste ? so the probleme is my cpu is overheating ? i hope u say yes sorry for repeating i'm a little bit bad at english

I think it is POSSIBLE if you clean your cooler and change the thermal paste you may improve performance in those games. However I'm not sure how far off your system is from throttling (its not crashing) so the improvement may not be huge. But totally worth the time and effort. Also clean the dust from the rest of your case and fans. use compressed air. Please let me know what happens.

well good news for me like u said fortnite wont work well i still get some freezes but i'm fine now and the cpu overheating stoped my max temp now is 56 its and all of that just by changing a the power plan the proc minimum and max i saw this in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbRExlT1guA it helped me alot
