Vega 64 FPS locked in CSGO

[David [Ger]]

So I want to give a little bit of context as to why I am so sure that the FPS are locked and that it's got nothing to do with my Hardware.

Before I got my Vega I had a GTX 1060. The 1060 was capable of 300+ FPS in CSGO (the GPU being the bottleneck), I am still using the very same CPU so it should be capable of at least 300+ FPS.

Also the Vega is capable of achieving way more FPS in CSGO and none of the two Components are even close to a 100% usage. 

But now when I play CSGO the maximum I get is 250 FPS. It always remains at that number and sometimes, though rarely, drops a little below that. 

I deactivated all possible FPS Caps I could think of (in CSGO via console commands and in the Radeon Software).

I can not see any logical cause for this problem and also didn't really find anything useful on the internet, so I am asking you guys.

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

It sounds like some type of drivers issue When you changed cards.  I think I got your fix.  Boot into safe mode and run DDU, then boot back up and install the latest AMD drivers and let us know...

You can do that however have in mind CS:GO runs on a 18 years old Engine that simply derps with the newest hardware out there, VALVe should have ported the game to Source 2 years ago, I actually had better fps with an i7 6700 on the 400's than with the i7 8700 that is 250~300.

that shouldn't lock the FPS tho? It should just lower them I think. Mine rather seems like a crisp clean lock.

They're never going to port it to source 2... They'll probably make a new CS with it.

are you using the steam overlay or net_graph for fps?

It isn't 'locking' think of this as the software being the bottleneck here... doesn't mean it's bad just means it can't have your hardware's full potential.

net graph is right but I use the steam overlay. This probably just has to do with your hardware.

Lol I love Bethesda ,, they gave us Quake Champions and they update it often and its a 2017 game.  They will continue to update in 2019 and beyond.  So ya I have no beef with Bethesda hehe.  They made the best FPS game ever IMO
