True. I've read online that more people were having the same problem. I think i'll format the SSD and then install CS:GO on there. Might be some wierd driver issue or something. I'll update this thread if makes any difference. But thanks for all the help!

Yeah, I am 100% positive. Here is my result, by the way! http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/18118930?

Yes, only CS:GO as far as I know. I've even played some games on the HTC Vive with consistant 90 FPS on this rig. GTA V performs quite good as well. My internet connection is good and stable. Wired connection through ethernet. 80mbps down, 15mbps up with a low stable ping (20ms~) I'll post a link to the result when it's done Yeah, my cpu only runs on 3,75ghz at the moment, so it's somewhat of a gap.

I bought the GTX 1080 mainly for content creation, as it's a part of my job Still, I know it's not a great value, but.. Well.. Impulse buy, you know? Hmm, but how? Yeah, i've tried both with and without the command and it made no difference. Thanks!

Ehm.. Eh. Nope. I'll do that! It was my first time upgrading a GPU, so I didn't really think about it. Hehe, Thanks!

I do already use "-threads 8" launch option, but I haven't tried turning off HRTF (tho I would hate to play without it). I can test it now. I can try to reinstall the game as well, but do you think it will make a difference if I install it on the SSD rather than the HDD? Thanks!

Hey, boys! I play CS:GO a lot, but throughout the last year my FPS has been dramatically reduced for some reason. I concluded that it must be the GPU (Radeon 290), so I bought myself a GTX 1080. It not only didn't help, but the FPS seems lower than before. I've read that AMD cards run CS:GO better, but still.. On Inferno my average FPS is around 130, but in some areas it can dip as low as 90 consistantly. (Offline, no bots) It's a bit better on other (older) maps, but is still not great. I've tried everything thinkable on the software side to fix this problem, like: - Updating all drivers (made no difference) - Changing Nvidia settings to high performance (made no difference) - Lowering my CS:GO video settings (tried all combinations, but made close to no difference) - Several Launch options and console commands for CS:GO (made no difference) - Closing all applications other than Steam and CS:GO (made no difference) - Overclock my CPU with MSI "OC Genie" (made noticable difference other than PC crashes) The only thing which isn't high end in this build is my CPU, do you guys it would help to upgrade it? I've read some places online that CS:GO is quite CPU reliant, but I don't really know. Current specs: Motherboard: MSI Z97 GAMING 5 CPU: Intel i7-4770k GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 ROG Strix Gaming PSU: Corsair HX850i 850w RAM: 32GB Hyper X DDR3 MHz OS SSD: Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB OEM HDD: WD Desktop Black 3TB Windows 10 home 64bit CPU Cooler (AIO watercooling): Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU cooler BOIS Version: 1.00 Thanks for any advice! ps: I know this build is unbalanced and not "value friendly". It has it's reasons .
