New custom PC Help needed !

[NoamL]

Hi all,

 

First of all, let me say that I am completely new at this so please be nice

 

The bottom line of my issue is that I built myself a new "gaming" pc, which I am very proud of, everything runs great, but I get 40 fps on CSGO (medium settings), which is very disappointing...Metro LL is unplayable at 6 fps on the lowest possible settings (using fraps to monitor in game fps).

 

Here are my specs:

 

-Processor:  4 GHz AMD Athlon X2

-RAM:  32 GB DIMM DDR

-Memory speed:  1600 MHz

-HDD:  1 TB HDD 7200 rpm

- GPU: Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 380X 4GB-(8GBx4) DDR3 1600 MT/s UDIMM 

-OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit

- Power supply: 600W Corsair

(do I need to list anything else?)

 

To answer the common questions I have been asked before:

 

-Yes, I did update the GPU with the latest drivers ( they show as up to date on both windows and AMD software)

- I use the HDMI output of the GPU and not the motherboard output.

-I did benchmark with Valley and it shows a stable 60fps, if that means anything.

-I did try some overclock with Afterburner, with no impact at all, so I reverted to stock configuration. 

 

What I suspect is happening (again, total noob):

 

-Some sort of bottleneck

-I use a TV display, could this be an issue?

 

I would really appreciate some help, so please try to figure it out, 50 fps on CSGO medium setting actually makes me angry

 

Thank you to Linus & Friends/community for getting me into this, it would not have been possible without all of you !

Well, you have a lowend CPU.  That would be my first shot.

I Get that, I will probably Upgrade, but is this the reason for 50 fps on CSGO? Also, have a look at the 3dMark score I consistently get:

The physics score is extremely low, is this also due to the low end CPU?

 

Thanks anyways,

Well, i dont know the requirements for CS, but your CPU is realy not good for Gaming. If its still possible you should give it back and buy something better. Sorry for the bad News
