Gday,
So I just got my new PC and have been looking forward to getting some very good FPS in Counter Strike - Global Offensive but for some reason I am only getting 130-180 FPS. Which i would want at least 200 fps stable with with 144hz monitor.
I have 1.5k hours on CS and my previous computer was getting comparable FPS yet it was 5 years old!!!
My PC specs are:
CPU: i5 7600K
GPU: Galax 1070 EX OC SNPR White
RAM: 2x 8GB (16GB) Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz
Motherboard: Asus Z270-AR Prime
CPU Cooler: Corsair H55
SSD: 960 EVO 250GB (CS is installed on this)
Operating System: Windows 10
So what I have done to try fix it:
CSGO Launch Options: -nod3d9ex -freq 144 -refresh 144 -novid -nojoy -high -tickrate 128 +exec mbjan17.cfg -threads 4 +cl_forcepreload 1
CSGO graphics setting: all lowest with multicore rendering enabled
Nvidia settings: V-Sync off
Yes my monitors are plugged into my GPU
Furthermore, I have turned off onboard graphics in the bios.
All drivers from what I can see are up to date.
XBOX DVR is turned off.
So I am wondering what I am doing wrong!!
Withing Asus Intel Extreme Tuning Utility it says I am using 80% of the CPU but I find that very hard to believe with only CSGO open (and the Utility app) at 150ish FPS with the Max Core Frequency set to 3.82GHz.
Secondly, I can run Overwatch on EPIC settings with 120 FPS which is a much newer title and much more strenuous on the PC.
This makes me lean to believing it's the Source Engine but I am not certain.
I put this post in this sub topic as CSGO is a CPU intensive game
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!!!
