FPS in cs:go limited for no detectable reason

HeyGuys

My current PC has following specs:

  • AMD FX 6200
  • GTX 560 TI
  • Corsair CS 450M
  • OCZ Vertex 3
  • GA-970A-DS3P
  • 2 x 4GB G.Skill RAM
  • Windows 10 64bit
  • edit: BenQ XL 2411 144hz

And here is my problem:

On this PC I mainly play cs:go which runs fine (>200fps) on 5v5 servers.
But on DM servers with +16 clients my PC doesn't really start to struggle, but my frames do (stable 90fps).
The utilization on the first CPU thread is at ~65% with the rest of them chilling at ~50%.
My GPU utilization never reaches 60% even on 1920x1080.

Here is what I have tried so far:

  • checking temps. - all great, not in throttling range
  • formating my SSD and try a fresh windows
  • trying all these little "fps boosting tricks"
    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=268030869
  • turning off 3 cores and OCing the 3 other cores to 4.5Ghz
    it then utilized all CPU threads to ~70% with no change in frame rates
  • changing my resolution to 800x600
  • changing my energy options from balanced to maximum performance on nvidia control panel and windows

All this had no real effect

 

Now I need your help.
What does limit my frames?
Do I need to upgrade my old GTX 560 even if it is not utilized at any given moment?

Just tell me what you would do if you had these problems.

Thanks!

It's CSGO being CSGO. It's been performing like a bitch lately :(

I am aware about the hitbox changes that happened a while ago which also screwed the FPS for some.

These changes motivated me to play the game again.

But my FPS were always bad, with the hitbox change I maybe lost 20 fps at max.

as long as you're running at 60hz, then what does it matter?

1. I forgot to mention I play on 144hz, sorry

2. even with 60hz monitors it would matter.

When did this start?

When I got my 144hz monitor I started to see these fps drops more clearly.

But it started with the first time playing cs:go
