fps Gtx 1080 low fps in some games

[Arise_]

I bought a gigabyte gtx 1080 windforce about a month ago and have been very happy with its performance in many of my games. I have a 1080p monitor at 85Hz I get a very good score in firestrike (i cant remember the score exactly as im at school right now and cant get the score) and many games run very well. however, some of my favorite games have issues sometimes. for example in csgo i get around 150 fps constant, while that is enough fps for me using an 85Hz monitor, it isnt as high as i think it should be. sometimes i get stutters and freezes and i watched some youtube videos of a gtx 1080 in csgo and someone with my exact config (4790k, gtx 1080, ssd) was getting around 500 fps on the same graphics settings i am running. On the main menu i get almost 2000 fps.

any help would be appreciated, thanks!

yes, another thing i wanted to add was that my temps on everything (cpu, gpu, mobo) are just fine while playing.

Umm, if you got new windows update, go into xbox app installed, go to settings, Game DVR, and turn it off.

Download MSI Afterburner and open up the graph, look at the GPU usage and temperature, check if anything is weird

i recently uninstalled afterburner because i was getting display driver crashes and i found that the version of afterburner i had didnt agree with pascal cards at all, but i have gigabytes version and everything looks normal when i play games, usage is high-ish most of the time and the temps are just fine (~40c to ~70c under load)

Can you try EVGA Precision? It's on the Steam store. 

Have you uninstalled the game? Some ini's contain the video card itself and can present issues.

Can confirm that the FPS is kinda low. I get about 200-300fps on an i5-4460 and GTX1060 @ 1080.

 

Must be a driver issue. Maybe you could try an older driver instead?

Which map did you test on CS? Nuke for instance is notorious for worse fps than the other maps.

benchmark your card and stress test it

 

multiple guides already posted on how to do this

 

you need a baseline and the ability to isolate if the issue is specific to the game you're playing or other variables
