Csgo poor fps after psu swap...

[MrBaker89]

Hi Guys.

 

My brothers psu packed up yesterday so I bought him an evga gold+ psu and fitted it.

 

He was getting 150fps in csgo now only gets 80 max?? 

 

I've checked everything... all I changed was a psu....

 

Specs:

 

Fx 4170

Msi gtx 960

Msi gaming motherboard

16gb ddr3 1866mhz 

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you plug the display connector in to the gpu? And does the gpu have power?

Yup gpu has power.  Monitor is plugged directly into the gpu

Seems rather unrelated... I don't even know where to start with this one

This is what is driving me mad.

 

I've been over everything and can't seem to find a cause of why...

was he overclocking before and his settings got reset?

Old one doesn't work? If it did, you could plug that back in and see if the fps really is 150. There are couple things you can do. Like reset CMOS and reapply anything changed in BIOS. Or reinstall game. But neither would have been changed because of just PSU change.

Old one died smelt of burning then pc just shut down I assume the fan packed up and it overheated. Nothing has been changed apart from a new psu that's the weird thing

I'd try resetting the GPU OC settings to default, and then back.

 

I'm assuming you've got a spread looking at voltage, clocks, and utilization over time?

 

Maybe check the fans too. Perhaps a cable in getting caught in a fan reducing it's ability to cool itself.

Checked voltages. Nothing drops and no spikes all even delivery.

 

All fans are okay.

 

Already reset the gpu back to standard reference card speeds

Hm. Power delivery shouldn't really do that. That's curious.

Perhaps you should benchmark it on something like passmark where you can compare it to a similar GPU to see if it's functioning as it should. If your CPU and GPU read fine, then I'd be more inclined to believe that it's some software change that has caused this.

 

It's hard to take, "150 fps" in CSGO and attribute it to anything quantifiable. We don't really know the circumstances. FPS will vary between maps, the number of players, and possible even the network connection if the servers are particularly bad and the network card has to take up more processor time to maintain a connection.

Even by disconnecting the computer from the network and running a map locally the pc still only achieves poor fps.... I've tried MSISupported regedit and that made no difference whatsoever.

 

I'm at a loss now  I have no idea how to fix this for him 

[SageOfSpice]

Was there any CPU overclock?

 

Really, the only thing that I can think of is that perhaps this new unit doesn't deliver power as cleanly which is resulting in a slight instability in the hardware.

 

That SHOULD reflect in benchmarks/stress testing. That's why I recommended Passmark, as you can compare to a stock version of the same processor and ensure that it's scoring as it should.

 

If that does turn out to be the case, I'd probably contact EVGA and discuss what should be done. Might have to RMA the PSU.
