GTX Strix 1080

Hi! 

 

I've been trying to figure out why my 1080 is weak in CSGO than that of my friends lower end card. He/them has/had 400-500+ fps while I'm at 250-300. (Diff drivers, FPS_MAX 0, Nvidia control panel stuff, re installment of all sort's of things like game, OS, drivers etc etc, tried it all)

 

I've been googling around for weeks now and found little to no good answer. My rig is a i7-7700k with a AIO on it, Asus ROG STRIX GTX 1080 8GB, Corsair Vengeance DDR4 300MHz 16GB ontop of a Asus Strix Z270F motherboard.

 

And two of my friends just upgrade to basically the same and they are too having this issue that our previous pc's were more capable of putting out more frames than the new ones. We've had a lot of discussions about this but we cant really find out why and now I'm reaching out to you guys. And yes I looked through the forum here but was again unable to find a good answer.

The CS:GO support is getting worse.
The newer the GPU, the worse the FPS will get:

The game is from 2013 and is made for GPU's like HD7970's and GTX 780's.

You do realise you can't see that FPS right? Your game isn't running any smoother at 600 fps than it is at 300. In fact unless you have a 240hz monitor, anything above that is pointless. But yeah as Gnarlex said, the game is old and the new hardware does not seem to scale well with it.

Does it really matter that much. 

 

As long as your getting 200+ fps, when playing on the internet, you will be fine. 

 

It might make a difference playing on ultra-competitive LAN tournament.

Im well aware of that iiNNeX. 

 

And yes as far as I'm concerned it could be just 150 fps and would not complain about it cuz of my 144Hz monitor. But Im curious as to why better cards has poor performance in csgo.
