Guys, he has an awesome cpu, the fx 6300 and it has six cores so it can't be cpu bottle neck

Have you ever owned an FX-6300? I have, and that is NOT a good CPU.

Every one says it's bad, why, it looks and sounds awesome( the specs not the physical chip) and I have seen some benchmarks which look promising

good cpu or not, this is the framerate he is supposed to be approximately getting

The specs sound awesome? Compared to what? You can't compare it to Intel as they're running completely different architectures.

No matter what a spec list says, I've owned this chip and for gaming, it's garbage. Absolute garbage.

please help by giving the OP advice on getting his machine to produce the performance his PC is capable of, thanks

Quote this post with some bench marks and let me see for my self

You mentioned that your GPU utilisation was at about 50% consistently, use MSI Afterburner to compare when your GPU is at low utilisation and what the rest of your system is doing. If you're CPU is maxed out, then you're experiencing a bottleneck. If your RAM is maxed out, that will be the bottleneck. However, if you can't see any bottlenecks, then it may be a faulty video card.

If the last scenario, I would see about putting it in a friend's rig and seeing how it performs. If it's the same story, RMA it. If not, then it's possible you have a driver issue or corrupted OS. Rebuild your OS and get all of the latest drivers.

Which reminds me, make sure you're running the latest Nvidia drivers before the testing.

If you need help on configuring the system stats overlay in MSI Afterburner, don't hesitate to ask. Google also has the answers.

What operating system are you running?

This is speaking from personal experience, I would have to use that CPU again (which is still kicking around) and my GTX 960 to recreate the scenario I was seeing.

I'm not trying to shit on AMD's chips, they have their uses. However, for gaming, I don't believe (and I'm not the only one here) that they are a good value prospect.

Okay I did that but it didn't really help a lot in CS: GO and in Battlefield 4 it seems to have helped a bit.

and I'm on windows 8.1 PRO.

@dome3731 I have Custom preset, everything is on ultra except Ambient Oclusion and MSAA, im using 2x MSAA, I also like to turn VSYNC to lock my fps to 60 because i have 60Hz monitor

Enjoy vsyncs added delay. 

[dome3731]

I uninstalled the drivers using that driver uninstall program and reinstalled them.

can u try disabling all services except microsoft's and restart your computer, then test the game again?

[dome3731]

Okay, I'll try that even though I've disabled most of them already.

[Moonzy]

also, monitor the gpu, cpu, and ram usage while you're gaming,
take a screenshot and share it here for clearer picture on whats going on

[dome3731]

It helped a bit but I think I should still be getting a lot more fps

[dome3731]

Wait, I'll take some screenshots.

[dome3731]

Btw do I even need all these Nvidia services to be on?

[dome3731]

Okay, here are some screenshots.

what's the fps count on cs:go?
if its low then i suggest u send a ticket into nvidia, if they diagnosed that your card is DOA, then you can RMA it

[dome3731]

well it keeps dropping to 100fps on mirage which is the same map in that video and that guy had 250 fps and I do get up to 200 but that's the most I get.

[dome3731]

So I get pretty much the same fps if not lower on low settings as people do on ultra settings in CS: GO.

note that theres fps cap in some games, tho its 300 for cs:go i think

if i were you i would perform a clean format with my com, but thats time consuming, so i recommend you to consult nvidia's customer service before you do this if u want to
