CS GO fps problem

[guiltyspartan98]

So I have been playing a lot of cs go recently and after finally fixing a mouse issue that made the game unbearable, I thought I solved all my problems. But after watching a video on what is good fps in csgo I decided to go in game and see how high I can get and to see if it would help with micro stutters. when I first tested my fps when I first got my computer which was in December I was hitting 120 fps, without bots and I was hitting the same amount left 4 dead 2 only dropping a bit to around 60-80 while being swarmed if I remember correctly. so when I got into an offline bot match, I was surprised I was at about 42fps. But I thought I just forgot and I was really playing at that the whole time. But as I kept lowering the video quality all the way to the bottom and decreasing the resolution to 4:3 I saw no fps gain, if anything a decrease in fps to about 38. so I overclocked my cpu and still nothing, so I tried an outside fps benchmark and it told me the same thing. Why can't I boost my fps? What am I doing wrong? someone pls help me. thank you.

amd athlon 860k over clocked to 4400 Mhz, r9 280, 8 gigs of ram, and a gigabyte f2a68hm-h. I also noticed that the cpu doesn't even use full load as it use to.

Add these commands to your start options in steam:  -high -threads x -nod3d9ex -nojoy

 

Replace the x with the amount of threads your cpu has.

I just tried that and my fps went down and I restored everything to default and it sits at 25 fps now. before I checked any of this everything felt really smooth besides the micro stutters, but since I've messed with the stuff everything has become hard to play.

Well then, your computer has some serious problems.

You could add cl_forcepreload 1 to your config, which preloads all level assets as you join. Might boost your FPS a bit. I would suggest staying away from the guides that tell you how to increase your FPS by adding things to your launch options or config, as they generally end up making things worse or not helping at all. 

 

I don't think -nod3d9ex does anything anymore either, from the above post. -nojoy will free,  a slight amount of RAM since it disables joystick support, but you have 8gb so there won't be any noticeable improvement in fps. 

 

Can't say why decreasing the quality wouldn't improve your FPS. You should see even a slight increase if you lower the settings.
