Posted February 21, 2016 Hey Computer Experts!I need some help. I have a PNY GTX 960 and I am getting around 70 FPS on Counter Strike Global Offensive. I know this isn't normal I put all my setting to low also and I get around 85. I prefer over 120 in case of any frame drops, or even a few smokes thrown in a few spots. I will list my Specs below and I would really appreciate it if I can have some help. At first I thought I was throttling and when I run my fans Max RPM I am at 70 Degrees Celsius.CPU: http://prntscr.com/a4mt8yGPU: http://prntscr.com/a4mtw5MoBo: http://prntscr.com/a4mtjrRAM: http://prntscr.com/a4mtnv I did reset my PC see if it was some kind of OS Issue and it didn't help. I have all settings low and Vsync off, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 21, 2016 This might sound a bit silly. But have you thought of turning up the graphics settings a bit? That way the game will leverage less on the CPU, and more on the GPU. Source games are notorious for being not-so-well optimized towards CPU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 21, 2016 I'm not sure, I think it just isnt such a good GPU the clock speed and memory are quite low. I don't no for sure as I don't have anything to compare it to but my brother plays CSGO on a 1GB card on low settings and only gets like 45 frames. I am not sure about this so I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSGO is fucking wonky, and form my experiences with the Source engine, maxing the game out doesn't remove a CPU bottleneck. To OP: It's your CPU. I hate to say it, but FX CPUs aren't that good for CSGO. Personal experience. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here! Local asshole and 6th generation console enthusiast.

Posted February 21, 2016 OP I own an ASUS GTX960 Turbo (close enough to what you have) and you may need to re-install your drivers. Your core speed should be almost 3 times that. Do a clean install of your GPU's drivers and see what happens. If no improvement it may be settings related as suggested by @GlassBomb or your card is failing. I ran into the same issue once and re-installing the drivers did the trick.

May you please guide me through this. I know quite well about PC Problems but never knew how to fix GPU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefield (I'm assuming 4) isn't ridiculously hard on the CPU, so expect to ~max it out at 1080p60. Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

Posted February 21, 2016 you either have one strange driver or you under clocked your card.....it is also possible you bought a knock off card (not a real gtx 960) ive seen that with the Vamery gtx cards, they are fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was certification papers with the PNY box. go to device manager, click display, double click gtx 960, click driver, click uninstall driver. the screen may go black for a second. re start PC. Go to nvidia website. download geforce experience, install geforce experience, open geforce experience, click drivers tab, click check for updates, click dpwnload updates, click express install if this doesnt fix card RMA it, there is something loopy Edited February 21, 2016 by Conan1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 21, 2016 Use DDU to reinstall drivers. Your CPU is also likely a bottleneck but the GPU should perform better. Again, just use DDU and post back if there was any change in performance.

Posted February 21, 2016 base clock on a PNY gtx 960 reference design is 1127mHz, you have 400. you underclocked or the driver is thrashed or the card is junk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
