Is my fps too low for these parts?

[Lemonmuffin]

For some reason, im starting to think that my fps on games might be a little too low for the parts that i have. I built this pc a couple of days ago, so far ive been playing mostly CS:GO, Tera, just finished RotTR..

Theres a benchmark on steam workshop for CS:GO, that gave me average of 246fps, everything on lowest with 1280x960 resolution, smokes makes FPS dip down to 80 at worst.

RotTR was running solid 60fps on 1080p ultra settings, but i feel its still low as my friend runs it better with worse pc.

There shouldnt be any thermal throttling, as my temps arent usually going above 60 and fans are spinning at around 30% for most of the time.

Did i just expect too much from this PC, or is something wrong?

 

Part list:

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z270-HD3P

CPU: i5-7600k 3,8GHz with 4,2GHz boost. (Factory clock) Cooled with Noctua NH-L12

GPU: Asus GTX 1060 6GB Dual OC

RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR4 2400MHz 2x4GB

PSU: SeaSonic M12II 520W 80+ Bronze

SSD: Kingston V300 120GB

HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm

Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400

update all drivers

My gut feeling on CS:GO is that since Source is such a low demand graphics engine on modern GPUs, the GPU is going "well I'm just not going to run at 100% power because why bother" and it doesn't seem to pick up when the smoke is causing more GPU load. You can observe what the GPU is doing by using GPU-Z and logging the data on the sensors tab.

 

60 FPS for Rise of the Tomb Raider (I'm assuming, please avoid using acronyms) on a GTX 1060 sounds about right.

All drivers are updated, I was checking on MSI Afterburners in-game monitoring, it said that cpu and gpu loads goes up top 90%+ in smokes. Elsewhere, gpu usage is around 20-30% and cpu usage 60-70%. Yeah i meant Tomb Raider, its just weird that a friend of mine runs it with same FPS on same settings with 3 gens older PC.. I think he has GTX 780, and a 4th gen i5.

Are you sure it's the GTX 780? It seems to be getting less than 60FPS in Tomb Raider on the quality you mentioned. A GTX 780 Ti would make more sense since GTX 780 Ti = GTX 980 = GTX 1060 6GB as far as performance is concerned.

Ahh, could be. Still tho, his card has third of the VRAM (which Tomb Raider wants to have) and still same/a bit better fps than im getting, just sounds kind of weird to me. He said that the reason could be that im running DX12 and he was running DX11 on win 7.

Are you running CS:GO on max settings? 246 average seems reasonable if the settings are all maxed out. 

 

Make sure multi-core rendering is enabled.

Multicore rendering on, ive tried everything minimum, midrange, highest, resolution 1280x960, 1920x1080, 1600x1200. Tried fiddling all the settings one by one for 2-3 hours now. The benchmark from steam community workbench gives me 56fps when entering smoke. Average ~345 after putting up higher resolution. But the lag in smokes is so irritating.

How much worse is your friend's PC, and are you certain you were using identical settings? There are more settings in that game's options menu than just what the presets includes.

Mentioned above, and everything cranked up manually from settings. Right now, the biggest issue is csgo fps  Sure its high, around 300-350 now, but smoke drops it to 60, which kinda sucks as its a huge input lag in smokes.
