graphics card problem?

[CarlT]

My pc is performing bad when playing games and i dont know what´s wrong with it, I tried updating bios and all driver updates but nothing changed. I get below 100 fps (fps drops, sometimes it goes up to 150) when playing cs:go on medium graphics. The computer is not old, i bought it 2 years ago i think. Specs for the computer is: 

amd fx 8350, 4.0 ghz, not standard cooler, cooler master v8 gts

msi gtx 660 twinfrozr 2gb

corsair cx600m, power supply

asus m5a97 r2.0, motherboard

seagate barracuda 1tb

8gb ram

cooler master haf 912 advanced

windows 10 64bit

 

I recently tried to overclock my graphics card a little. not much at all dont blame me ;P and the computer crashed, so my question is if that could be the problem? i read on some forums when trying to find out what´s wrong and one person said that if u done it that could be the problem. if so, what graphics card do you guys recommend? i was looking on a 970 but i´m not very good at computers.

I wouldn't worry unless you drop to unreasonable fps levels. When exactly did the drop happen, and what changes were made at that time?

I'd get a R9 390 then later upgrade your CPU though that is not needed right away.

Check to make sure Nvidia didn't automatically change your resolution to DSR(Dynamic Super Resolution), because that can stress your card out. It basically runs it at a compressed higher resolution. Another thing could be, just normal lag spikes. I get them on my system, but I do run max settings with 120fps. I would double check all of your settings. Best of luck!

im not sure what i changed, it was months ago. the drops didn´t happen right after the computer crashed i think it was some weeks later but i started to look now for what to do to fix it

I would start with what dewman45 said and then try other games to see if you have the same loss.

How full is your HD?

How full is your HD?

i´m playing at 1920x1080

No lol, your hard drive. If you're pulling your games off it and it's getting full, your fps may suffer.

ooh hahaha my bad, i got 696gb free out of 930 gb, i recently tried restarting my whole computer and deleted everything and then just installed cs:go but the problem was still there so i don´t think thats the problem

[App4that]

Damn, it was worth a shot.

 

You could try a driver from when you had better fps.

done that too, i might just go for it and buy a new gpu, is there any card u recommend ?

[App4that]

With the new cards so close? That's a tough question. But a 390 or 970 is a good choice. Maybe a used 290, 970?
