Is this normal? (frame rate changing)

[Guest]

Ok I am playing CSGO and my frames are changing like crazy. One second it will be at 220fps and another second it will be 160fps. Is this normal? It does the whole time I am playing. I just built this computer last week so I may need to fix something.

specs? Also im not a CS expert, but it is a bit map dependent

No matter the map the fps just changes like this. This all happenes during like one game. One second it will be 240 and a second later it will be 160. The fps is constantly changing.

Probably normal, Minecraft has similar fps fluctuations.

Res? Settings?

it will dpend on where you look (up at sky isbetter than at a group of peopl)

i think its common in most games. if any action going on. other things like background activity can influence it too on hi cpu demanding games in low core caunt cpu. loading new textures or just models turning to the side or even activity you cant see. nothing too worry

Depends on the games perhaps, but generally this is normal and how games and GPU's work,  load will be constantly changing depending what's going on in game.

 

If you want a stable framerate you need to limit it somehow (there are many different ways to do that)

In my experience, it isn't unusual to see the frame rate fluctuating wildly. 

 

You might have 240fps at the buy screen when everything is static, but as you start playing properly, when there are other players, visual effects, explosions, and as the map becomes more complex and detailed, the fps will inevitably lower.

 

I really wouldn't worry, mate.
