[Help] Crazy FPS drops on a decent PC. Please help

[qaws72]

Good day people of steam

Problems. 

I used to get around 300 fps on CSGO. But since about a week ago (27 March 2020) I've been getting crazy FPS drops. Here you can find a vid of the drops --> -->

What you should know. 

• All my temps are below 60°C.
• New windows so its up to date. (↓↓)
• New CSGO so no config. (Installed new windows thinking something was wrong with my OS)
• Vega 64 drivers are up to date.
• I use a 144Hz monitor. ( Samsung CFG70)
• I play on 1080p
•  Game DVR is off.
• I've unparked CPU cores.
• I've run it in compatibility mode

PC Specs.

•  Z270F CPU: i7-7700K 
• Mobo: Asus ROG Strix 
•  RAM: Corsair Vengeance White Led 8GB x 2 
•  GPU: Radeon RX Vega 64 
• Cooler: Coolermaster Masterliquid ML240R 
• SSD 2: 850 PRO 2.5"  
• PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 

 

 

Also, it drops in random spots. Sometimes I'll get 200+fps on B and sometimes I'll get 16fps

"60fps is fine. Stop complaining" - If you haven't had 144hz before, you don't have anything to compare to. I'm looking for genuine help here not criticism.

"100fps is normal for your setup" - Nope, as I said before, I've gotten over 300fps before.

 

If you need any info feel free to let me know. Thanks

how long have you had this pc and when did you put it all together

i dont know if same on windows but linx csog doesnt save your settings maybe it raised them bsck to auto or some of windows notorious updates did something. 

 

try checking if gpy drivers updated? i know for me some games run better when i sawp drivers or will run at all. heres an exaple

 

mk9: will run on driver 318, but not 400+.  but gta is th oppisite 

[Snowarch]

Wait maybe your pc swapped the game to integrted gpu? my friend has nvidia gpu, but on cirtain games it swapped to igpu after update. check with afterburner since youre on windows.

Good day I checked and it utilizing both my CPU and GPU

[Snowarch]

i know itll say that but can you confirm is igpu not vega gpu? how is the gpu utilization %? if its low see if a power savings mode was added to the driver.

Fixed it and it was the dumbest thing ever. Just had to turn shader details to low. It was always on high dunno why it only recently started freaking out now. I'm so happy I reinstalled windows (◔_◔). Thanks for all the help

probably related to the shader change they made on the 27th. https://blog.counter-strike.net/index.php/2020/03/29271/

 

lots of people are having performance issues since then

I guess you can try this to see if that was the issue.

@qaws72 how did you make it save your settings? on all high csgo gives me unstable over 100 fps easily. i set then to low but pause and unpause it autos to high.
