Is my CPU causing bad FPS?

[81611_1454179829]

At the moment i am currently using a Palit GTX 770 2GB with an AMD FX 6300. However, in CS:GO i am only getting like 120fps Average (and if you play csgo, you know that really isn't enough), when my friends with the 770 are getting 250 fps???. My CPU is 2 years old and isn't even getting hot or overheating at all. I can't imagine that anything else could be causing bad fps other than the CPU? 

If anyone could give me some advice or tips that would be appreciated.

Thanks

what CPU is your buddy running?

 

pretty sure the CPU is holding you back

They all have i5's. One of them has a 3570k and they are fine

Sounds like you are being bottlenecked by your CPU.

yea those i5 even the 2500K are faster than your 6300

Yep the CPU is holding you back, you should overclock the hell out of it, espacially when the temps are low unOC'ed

hahah fair enough, typical AMD. I'll probably get a i5 6500 when i get paid  Thanks for your help

even with the OC, he prob only get 10-20fps at most

 

when CS;GO flies at 240fps

CS:GO iirc is a really heavily single threaded game. Which means only 1-2 cores of your 6-core CPU are being used and the rest doing nothing. It's more than likely the bottleneck.

I would love to OC it, but my motherboard wouldn't like it and i don't have the correct cooling stuff and i don't know how to

yea good CPU, if you want to go cheap,

 

go for the i5 6400 and get a better GPU to replace the GTX770

Yeah would make sense, oh well, looks like  i am never going back to amd

I might do, depends how much i get paid lmao. I would like to get a 1060 but who knows

Don't say that too soon, Zen will be fully announced in a few days and probably released in a month or so.

True true, I have thought about Zen because it does look decent so from what i have seen. All depends if i want to wait really

I know, but we all stated already that the CPU is his limitation. And he can expect a 15-25% fps bost of that amd chip, I think thats decent for "zero" extra $ to spend. He could also try to OC 1 or 2 cores more than the others, instead to oc all 6 cores evenly may result  a better performance in CS:GO.

You never know what the future holds. There was a point (Pentium 4/D vs Athlon 64 era, oh jesus) where Intel was getting their ass handed to them HARD by AMD and people said they'd never go back to Intel, and look where we are lmao

I don't even know how to OC correctly ;-;

you do know not all AMD boards are made to OC

 

the chip bin bargain mobos which comes with the CPU have only 2-3 VRMs just for CPU and RAMs.

 

any OC will fry the VRMs and you see fire and smoke

Uhhhhh it'd depend on what mobo you have. Some aren't meant for OCing at all

No problem, many forum members can help you with that, it's not hard at all, espacially when you not want to push to the very least limit for a specific benchmark or something like that and just want a decent OC for 24/7 use.

 

YT can help you with easy guides also, just type in your CPU and OC guide or something like that.

Disabling 4 cores and only overclocking 2 will reduce stress on VRMs and make overclocking possible on lower-end boards (as well as reduce power consumption and heat output), but run any game that's somewhat multi-threaded and you're right back where you started with the CPU bottleneck lol

The life on the budget ... I'm happy that I past these days.

Buildzoid (an overclocker with connections) has recently uploaded a video talking about Zen, its price and the potential overclocks. It boils down to this: 

 

Zen won't do 5GHz on air, more like 4.4, and it'll be substantially cheaper than Intel's offerings with the same per-core IPC as Broadwell-E. So I'd say wait for Zen.
