Hi so a friend of mine came by and bringing his computer here and we were testing the system currently his build is an i5-4460/GTX740 2GB/8GB RAM/120GB SSD

question why is this system giving a low fps on csgo like 80-110? well currently we are compering it with my system if you could see my signature i get over 130-160 fps now we are kinda worried that his system is bottle-necking something.

You have a better gpu, His gpu is slower than yours but his cpu is faster. CSGO is more cpu reliant but it needs some gpu actions aswell. You have nothing to worry about. He just needs to get a new +gpu

Max settings? If so FPS he's receiving is pretty good.
GPU is a bottleneck most likely. Test it with MSI afterburner

A 4460 wouldnt be a bottleneck for a 970 most games....let alone a 740

sorry for being so dumb thanks for the info we will try to swap gpu and see what will be the result.

I'm more concerned about a GPU bottleneck rather than a CPU bottleneck.

The jump between 740 and 750 is pretty big. No one ever recommends 740. It's not even a GTX just GT. Saving up your money is much easier.
