Nuhooh

A lot worse, trust me.

Borrowed 970 from a friend and there seems to be no issues with it. Im starting to think that the issue might be with the 1060 as a gpu. Might be some troubled individual, dunno.

Weird since people with mot worse cpus get better performance. Also the question remains the same, why does my fps drop with better gpu.

As I said before, csgo is really cpu-heavy game thus gpu usage rarely goes up. With higher image settings I can however get the 770 to 100% usage.

Yes all of those are done.

Hmm, yet with the old card im getting avg 100+ fps more. :X its 2x4 ram. Any specific benchmarks that u would like to see?

Yeah I totally get that the i5-4670K even while being OC’d is outdated. However the part that I do not get is that with worse gpu I still get significantly better performance on a CPU-heavy game. Thats the weird thing. Also CS:GO should be able to run easily ~300 or even more fps with the 4670 on 4,2ghz with low settings and it does when I use the worse gpu. also you are right about the reliability of the task manager, but the difference is honestly like 100 fps all the time so it is very noticeable. With the 770 usage is hoovering anywhere between ~70 to near 100% and with the 1060 the usage is from ~30 to 50ish. why does it drop my fps though and is there anything I can do about it is the main question.

I haven’t done any benchmark and the usage is from taskmanager. I can provide some actual benchmarks tomorrow. The Fps difference can be seen in csgo quite clearly. I noticed my cpu usage is tiny bit higher on avg with the 1060 and when my fps goes really low, to 100 or so my cpu usage hits 100%. That never happens with the 770.

Recently I upgraded my gpu from gtx 770 to gtx 1060 - 3gb due to getting good deal on one. I’ve however countered an issue with the 1060. my fps on csgo went crazy bad. Was hitting quite stable 200 to 300 Depending on the map, with surf maps etc I was hitting 450+. Now with the 1060 I seem to struggle with getting ”even” 200 on most maps, going as low as 100 to 120 on maps such as Overpass. I didnt change anything else on my setup, i5-4670k @ 4,2ghz, 8gb kingston ddr3 1600mhz, corsair 650w bronze (if i remember correctly) and some 250 gb ssd. The gpu runs around ~30% while in csgo, which ofc is cpu heavy game but I just dont get how a gpu change can fuk up my fps so hard. I found a lot of threads about people having issues with -10XX cards & csgo but not any solutions, so guys any info is welcome. Would love to keep the 1060 but if it performs so much worse there is no point.. e. Resolution etc doesnt really have any effect. Im playing on quite low settings already.
