Poor CS:GO Performance

[Nathaniel Vazquez]

When i tried to play CS:GO today, i was playing around 30 FPS with lots of stuttering. This is very strange to me since i normally play 1080p with 100-150 FPS on High. The laptop im playing on has a i7 4800mq and an 3gb 770m. Any ideas what is happening?

Is the 770M enabled or are you just using the CPU's integrated graphics?

Thermal throteling comes to mind when talking about a laptop. Check the temps when playing.

 

Do you have it plugged in? maybe some energy saving BS is throtteling the power.

last time i checked, it was enabled

Will check to make sure that powersaving is off, but laptop is always plugged in, will pull up CPU-Z while i play and see if thats the problem.

add something like MSI afterburner, it can track the GPU temp.

80C thats quite high ,maybe thats your problem

get a laptop cooler,or maybe its all clogged up with dust

i have a cooling pad so ill try that out. And how do i clean out the dust? Not sure how to get into the case of the laptop to clean out the fans.

ok this is weird, just opened the game again, and now its running just fine, very strange since i left it open while i had dinner, come back and back to 150 FPS on High.

check your temperature now, when its not lagging

but im not completly sure, i dont have any laptops

 

lets see what other people say...

just played 3 games, temps got up to 90C and 8GB on ram. Freaking scares me that it goes that high cause i need this one to last me 3 more years.

You're fine. Laptops have much higher thermal tolerances than desktop parts. Much higher. 

 

Check your clock speeds while gaming (I believe MSi afterburner shows these above the temp graphs) and see if they drop down suddenly.

It's not always enough that it's just enabled. Laptops can often dynamically switch between onboard graphics and discrete graphics to manage power consumption or heat. They can also aggressively throttle clock speeds.

 

You posted Afterburner graphs, but only the CPU graphs are showing. What we're looking for is GPU core temperature and GPU usage %. Task Manager and CPU-Z similarly only describe the CPU.

right now at idle, its sitting at 55C and its been doing that for about an hour. But this is just sitting around on skype and watching youtube.
